The reality

What makes HR hard in education

The problems that come up in education more than anywhere else.
  • Term-time contracts

    Leave entitlements for term-time-only staff require specific calculations that most HR systems can't handle.

  • Safeguarding compliance

    DBS checks, safeguarding training, and Keeping Children Safe in Education requirements must be current for every staff member.

  • Multi-academy trusts

    MATs need centralised HR across multiple schools while maintaining each school's autonomy.

  • Cover and supply management

    Tracking staff absence and arranging cover is a daily challenge that affects teaching quality.

The answer

How CubeHR handles it

Each of these is a module included in the platform, not a bespoke build.
  1. Leave Management

    Term-time leave calculations, teacher-specific absence categories, and cover planning integration.

  2. DBS & Safeguarding

    Track DBS checks, safeguarding training, and professional registrations with automatic renewal alerts.

  3. Multi-academy Support

    Each school in the trust operates independently with trust-wide reporting and governance.

  4. Absence Tracking

    Record absences with education-specific categories. Bradford Factor alerts for pattern management.

  5. Training Compliance

    Track mandatory training completion: safeguarding, first aid, prevent duty. Chase non-completers automatically.
