For departments & schools — multi-teacher plans
Department (HOD) and school plans give every teacher seat the full
Tier 2 monthly allowance, at a lower effective per-teacher rate as the group grows.
How these plans are billed is still being finalised — for now they are arranged directly with us (typically by invoice/EFT) rather than self-checkout, but the prices below are fixed.
