Policy Management for NZ Secondary Schools

Policy management for secondary school complexity

Policybase for NZ secondary schools: manage more policies, more departments, and more regulatory requirements without the overhead.

Built for the complexity

Secondary schools juggle more policies, more staff, more departments, and more regulatory requirements than other school types. From NCEA assessment to department-specific procedures, the volume gets overwhelming fast.

Policybase handles this with strong organisation tools, department-level management, and automated workflows.

Managing hundreds of policies

With policies spanning curriculum, pastoral care, health and safety, governance, and administration, you need tools that work at scale. Tagging, categorisation, and search make it easy to find and manage anything.

Department-level ownership

Different departments have different policy needs. The HoD for Science manages science-specific policies. The DP manages pastoral care. Everyone knows what’s theirs.

Staff acknowledgement at scale

With larger staff numbers, tracking policy acknowledgement manually is impractical. Policybase handles it, with automated reminders and a full audit trail.

Pricing

Policybase is half price during beta ($250/yr + GST until end of 2026). After that, $500/year + GST — same price regardless of school size. AI features are an optional paid add-on. View pricing
