LAUNCHING HOMERUN
"HomeRun was incredibly easy to launch, no IT integration was required and we were up and running in just a couple of hours.
We achieved a good sign-up rate on launch and once we started posting day to day school messages on the HomeRun app, everyone else signed up too.
We couldn’t be happier with how the platform is working out for us and would recommend the service to all schools!"
Lewis Hayward, Headteacher
