Resources

Arc Software Catalogue

Arc Software(opens in a new window) lists department-provided software, as well as other software and administration systems that have been assessed through Safer Technologies for Schools (ST4S).

Arc Software remains the department’s primary catalogue for software products and categories that are not covered by the School Software Panel.

For student administration products covered by the School Software Panel, schools can use the School Software Panel portal to:

  • view approved suppliers and products
  • compare products
  • request quotes
  • access purchasing guidance.

Arc Software and SSP Portal are updated to be aligned so schools can easily move between software catalogue information and School Software Panel purchasing information.
