See it in action
Edvance is a governance platform for Irish primary and post-primary schools. It shows principals and Boards of Management what is ready, what is missing and what should happen next.
The Edvance dashboard brings policy readiness, board meeting preparation and inspection readiness into one view, with the next action for each.

Edvance gives principals and Boards of Management one structured workspace for school policies, board activity, finance oversight, Department of Education circulars, and inspection preparation. Edvance is not a student information system — it does not manage admissions, timetabling, course scheduling, or student records.
No. Edvance is a governance, policy-compliance, and inspection-readiness platform for Boards of Management and school leaders — it does not manage student records, admissions, timetabling, or course scheduling. If you're looking for a student information system, Edvance is not that product.
Edvance supports Irish primary and post-primary schools. Setup records the school's context so its governance and readiness workflows can be presented appropriately.
No. Edvance provides general planning and governance support, not legal, financial, or professional advice. Schools should confirm specific obligations against current Department of Education guidance and circulars and, where needed, with their patron, trust body, or professional adviser.
Each school has its own Edvance workspace. ETBs and patron bodies should contact Edvance to discuss the current setup options for several schools; Edvance does not present this as a single live multi-school dashboard.
