Everything in one place
Newspaper, podcasts, agenda, screens and social media stop living in separate tools. One account, one identity, one place to look.

Why Schoop
Fewer loose tools.
More school reaching everyone.
Today the newspaper lives on one site, notices on posters, events in chat groups and photos in nobody’s folders. Schoop brings it all together, with clear rules for those who write and those who approve.
Publish once, reach everywhere
One story can go to the newspaper, the screens, the newsletter and social media without anyone writing it twice. And, if the school wants, in several languages.
Made for school teams
A simple editor, per-role permissions and phone access. No technical knowledge needed.
Start small
Start with just the newspaper. Switch on podcasts, agenda, screens or newsletter when it makes sense, without starting over.
A memory that stays
A searchable archive, school years, a Space per project: one year’s work stays useful in the next.
The data stays with the school
Content and data remain the school’s, with no advertising and no selling of data. Students take part with access the school manages.
The features
One school. One platform.
Many ways to give the community a voice.

TV / Displays

Learn more 05
Work Showcase
An editorial space to display projects, work, art, experiments, prototypes and other student creations.
Supporting tools
Much more than publishing.
Beyond publishing, Schoop brings tools that connect everything the school creates — to organise, distribute and understand the reach of its communication.
Spaces
A place for every school project.
Clubs, the Library, Erasmus+, Ciência Viva, Eco-Schools or School Sport can each have their Space, with their own identity and their own leads. They live inside the school: they are not separate websites and they don’t duplicate content — they bring together what already exists. If a club or project already publishes online, we help move that content into its Space, wherever the source allows it.
Learn moreAgenda
Everything happening at school, with a date and time.
Events with a date, place and audience, and notices with a priority and an expiry date. They sit in the school’s public agenda and can flow to the screens and the newsletter, without writing them twice.
Learn moreMedia archive
The school’s multimedia memory.
Photos, audio and video catalogued with author, school year, licence and rights. Search, reuse in any content and keep the archive going from one year to the next.
Learn moreNewsletters
From the school straight to the inbox.
Turn news, events and highlights into a weekly or monthly newsletter, with manual selection of content and Spaces, and send it to the whole community. Publish once, use it across channels.
Learn moreAnalytics
Understand what reaches the community.
Analyse the impact of content and discover what engages students, families and the wider community most: views, most-read content, most-listened podcasts, trends over time and newsletter performance.
Learn moreSocial Media
From the story to social, without starting over.
Connect the school’s accounts, create a post from a news item, adapt the text and image, choose the networks, schedule and track results. A social-publishing layer built into the school’s editorial flow.
Learn moreWho it is for
A platform for the whole school.
Students
They write, record and show what they do, with author credit and a portfolio that lasts.
Teachers
They guide and approve in a single flow, without chasing files and messages.
Families and community
They know what is going on through the site, the agenda and the newsletter, without relying on word of mouth.
Leadership
They centralise communication, stay in control of what goes public and strengthen the school’s digital identity.
Editorial organisation
Participation without losing editorial control.
Students can create. Leads can review. The school decides what gets published.
- 01
Create
Students and teachers write articles, record episodes or prepare content for the school’s screens.
- 02
Review
Leads comment, suggest changes and approve — with different permissions per role.
- 03
Publish
The school decides what goes public, on which channels and when.
Digital transformation
A tool that can help bring the school’s PADDE to life.
The PADDE (the school’s Digital Development Action Plan) sets objectives in the organisational, pedagogical and technological dimensions. Schoop helps meet several of them: from the communication policy to the school screens, from students’ media literacy to monitoring indicators.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is Schoop?
An integrated school communication platform. In one place, the community creates, manages, publishes and distributes content in several formats — newspaper, podcasts, TV/displays and work showcase — with cross-cutting tools such as Spaces, Agenda, Media archive, Newsletters, Analytics and Social Media. School radio is in the works.
Does the school have to use every feature?
No. You can start with just the School Newspaper, the most common starting point, and enable the other features later, without starting the work over.
Who can publish content?
Students, teachers and editorial teams, with different profiles and permissions defined by the school.
Can content go through approval?
Yes. There is a create, review and editorial approval flow before anything is published.
Does Schoop work in several languages?
Yes. Each school has a main language and can switch on additional ones. Stories can be translated if the school wants; anything untranslated shows in the main language.
Does Schoop work on phones?
Yes. The management area runs in the browser and adapts to computer, tablet and phone.
Do we need to install any software?
Not to use the platform. TV/Displays screens run in the device’s browser; we are also preparing apps for Android TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen.
How do the displays/TV work?
Each screen is paired with a code and then shows playlists of content — news, notices, events, weather, timetables and work — managed from Schoop.
Is the school newspaper free?
Yes, with no time limit. The school creates its organisation, invites the team and starts publishing its newspaper at no cost.
We already have a newspaper on another platform. Do we lose the archive?
No. Wherever technically possible, we help move articles, images, categories and the historical archive into Schoop.
Does the content stay with the school?
Yes. The content belongs to the school and its authors, and the school can ask for an export of its data if it stops using the service.
How is students’ data protected?
Students never create the organisation: they take part with access granted and managed by the school, with per-role permissions. We do not sell data or use advertising, and the site’s forms only collect what is needed to answer your request.
Is Schoop safe?
It was designed for the school context: nothing goes public without approval, each person only sees and does what their role allows, and the school decides who has access.
