What’s New in Mojo: Summer 2026

This summer, Mojo introduced everything from major new modules to smaller features that make everyday school work easier. We have brought the key updates together in one article and divided them into four sections.

1

New modules

Six major tools help schools automate timetabling, paid services, school documents, meetings, file storage and boarding.

For school leaders

Automatic Timetable Builder

The module automatically builds a timetable for the whole school, taking into account teaching loads, staff availability, classes, rooms and the rules set by your school.

•  creates a separate timetable draft for a selected period without changing the live timetable;
•  can build a timetable from scratch or use the current version as a starting point;
•  checks for conflicts and allows lessons to be moved manually;
•  keeps lessons that are already well placed and rebuilds only the parts that need changing.
What this gives your school Faster timetable preparation: the system takes constraints into account, identifies conflicts and reduces manual work.

For teachers and parents

Paid Services

Three connected areas help schools manage additional services, paid clubs and school meals through the same system.

Paid Courses

The module supports clubs and additional classes where schools need to manage both payments and the learning process itself.

•  create teaching groups and assign students;
•  schedule classes;
•  set up subscriptions and accept applications from parents;
•  track attendance and completed or cancelled lessons.

Nutrition

The module supports the full school meal process, from creating menus and setting individual requirements to recording meals, issuing invoices and taking payments.

•  create dishes and menus with allergens, calories, portion sizes and prices;
•  set individual meal plans, discounts, meal packages or free choice of dishes;
•  allow parents to choose meals and record whether a student has eaten;
•  manage orders, charges, invoicing and payments.
What this gives your school A connected process for managing additional services, from enrolment and attendance to charges, invoicing and payment.

For teachers and parents

Meeting Planner

The module helps organise consultations, staff meetings, parents’ evenings and other school meetings.

What this gives your school A connected meeting process: invitations, responses and changes are automatically reflected in participants’ schedules.
Learn more about the module →
•  create a meeting in the planner or directly from the school timetable, with a title, date, time and location;
•  invite individual staff members, students and parents, or an entire class or group;
•  send notifications, allow participants to accept or decline, and show responses to the organiser;
•  view meetings in a searchable list with filters by date, building and staff member, while administrators can see meetings across the school;
•  automatically add meetings to participants’ schedules on web and mobile;
For school leaders

Storage

The module helps schools monitor cloud storage, identify the largest files and free up space when it is needed.

•  browse files uploaded through news, homework and chats;
•  see used, available and total storage, as well as how space is distributed across file types;
•  view each file’s type, name, author, publication date and size, with filters and sorting;
•  allow authorised users to remove unnecessary files and free up storage immediately.
Learn more about the module →
What this gives your school Clearer storage management: administrators can see what is using space, find large files quickly and free up capacity.
For teachers and parents

Boarding

The module is designed for schools where students both study and live on campus.

Learn more about the module →
•  create boarding buildings and rooms and assign boarding staff;
•  allocate students to rooms;
•  manage requests to leave campus with approval from parents and boarding staff;
•  show permissions in the Entrances & Exits section;
•  provide a dedicated chat with students and their parents.
What this gives your school A connected process for supporting boarding students, from room allocation and leave permissions to communication between boarding staff, students and parents.

Updates to Existing Modules

Existing tools are now easier to use, better connected and support new ways of working.

For teachers

Learning Content

Create and share learning materials with ease, using AI to save time on content creation. Assign courses to individual students or entire groups, allowing them to work through topics at their own pace.

Students are notified when a course is assigned, while teachers can track progress, review completed assessments and see how students are performing.

•  Link courses to the school curriculum.
•  Assign learning topics directly from lessons.
•  Create and add learning materials with AI.
•  Track course progress, completion rates and assessment results in the gradebook.
•  See which tasks students find easiest and most challenging.
For parents

Admissions and Chats

Parents can easily track their child's application, check its current status and upload photos or documents directly from the applicant profile.

They can also start a group chat with the admissions team without leaving the application. All staff with the relevant permissions can access the conversation through the Communications module or the Mojo mobile app.

For school leaders

Roles and Permissions

Managing access in Mojo is now simpler and more flexible. Schools can organise related tasks and permissions into processes, making it easier to manage who can do what across the platform. All processes and their settings can be managed from one place.

Ready-made permission sets, quick search and the ability to hide modules for specific year groups help administrators set up and manage access more efficiently.

For teachers

Video Uploads

Share more content with fewer steps. Upload up to 15 videos at once to news posts, chats or homework, with a combined file size of up to 1 GB. Photos and videos appear together in a single media gallery.

Administrators can also monitor storage usage and quickly find the largest files in the Storage module.

For teachers and parents

Customise Mojo for Your School

Make Mojo feel like part of your school by adding your own branding. Customise the sign-in page with your school's logo and background to create a familiar experience for staff, students and parents.

Your school's branding is visible from the very first screen, making the platform feel like a natural extension of your school.

For school leaders

Custom User Fields

Add custom fields to student and staff profiles to keep track of the information your school needs. These fields can be filled in directly in each user's record and are then displayed in their profile.

Save time by importing information in bulk using an automatically generated Excel template. When exporting data, you can also choose which custom fields to include in the final Excel file.

3

Small but Useful Updates

Small improvements reduce everyday admin and give schools more control over familiar processes.

01

New Help Button

Need help? Administrators can now contact support, browse FAQs or ask the AI assistant a question from anywhere in Mojo. The AI assistant uses information from the current page to provide more relevant answers.

02

Required Homework

Teachers can mark homework as required, making it clear to students which assignments they must complete. A dedicated report helps teachers keep track of outstanding work and follow up with students who haven't completed their tasks.

03

Find Lesson Materials Faster

Finding the right learning materials is now easier. Browse resources by topic or use specific search criteria to quickly find what you need.

04

Control Changes to Past Marks

Schools can now choose how far back teachers can edit marks. Set a time limit of two weeks, one month or the current reporting period, or allow changes without restrictions.

05

Custom Year Group Names

Schools can now rename year groups to match their own structure and hide any they don't use. This gives nurseries and schools with different year group systems more flexibility in organising their students.

06

Sibling Links

Student profiles now show siblings who attend the same school, making it easier to see family connections in one place. This information is also available in the Paid Services and Boarding modules.

07

Anonymous Surveys

Collect feedback while protecting participants' identities. Survey results now use randomly generated identifiers instead of names, so individual responses cannot be linked to specific users.

08

One-off Timetable Changes

Need to make a temporary timetable change? You can now adjust the schedule for a single week without affecting future lessons. Ideal for teacher cover, room changes and other one-off adjustments.

09

Merge Chats

When teaching groups change, their chats can now be merged individually or in bulk. Previous messages are kept, and chats that are no longer needed can be closed, making it easier to keep school communications organised.

10

Message Reactions

Respond to messages with a reaction instead of sending a reply. It's a quick way to acknowledge an update, show support or give feedback without adding another message to the conversation.

4

Mobile App Updates

The mobile app now includes new features for parents and school staff, allowing more everyday tasks to be handled directly from a smartphone.

For parents

Pick Up a Child

Parents can let the school know in advance through the app that they are coming to collect their child, without having to call or message staff.

For school leaders

Lesson Substitutions

School leaders can view current lesson substitutions from their phone and keep track of timetable changes more easily.

For parents

Paid Services

Parents can view charges and pay for additional school services directly in the mobile app.

For form tutors and school leaders

Wellbeing

Form tutors and school leaders can use student wellbeing tools directly in the mobile app.

Mojo Is Becoming Easier for the Whole School

The summer updates support school leaders, teachers and parents. Major modules automate entire processes, smaller improvements reduce everyday admin, and the mobile app brings more day-to-day tasks to users’ phones.

We continue to develop Mojo around the needs of schools and feedback from users. Follow our updates to see what comes next.
