What is SeatSmart?
SeatSmart is an intelligent classroom seating plan tool designed specifically for UK schools. It enables teachers to create behaviour-supporting seating plans quickly and efficiently, helping reduce admin time and strengthen classroom management. Strategic seating can have a significant impact on behaviour, engagement, and learning, and SeatSmart is built to make that process simple and effective.
SeatSmart can automatically synchronise with existing school data systems, keeping class lists up to date without manual input. For smaller schools or settings without a management information system integration, student data can also be uploaded manually, ensuring the platform remains accessible and flexible regardless of technical setup.
Key features include intelligent seating plan generation, adaptable rules to support behaviour and learning needs, and compatibility with tools such as Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom. Teachers can create multiple layouts for the same class, allowing quick changes for different lesson types, collaborative work, or project-based learning.
Implementation is straightforward. Schools can integrate with their existing systems for automatic synchronisation or upload student data manually. Once classes are in place, teachers can generate, adjust, and share seating plans with ease. SeatSmart works alongside tools schools already use, minimising disruption and supporting consistent classroom practice.
Demonstrations are available, with flexible pricing options to suit schools of different sizes.

SeatSmart is designed for rapid implementation. Most schools can begin using the platform the same day they receive access.
For schools integrating with existing data systems, initial synchronisation is typically completed within a short timeframe, after which class lists are automatically available. For smaller schools or settings choosing to upload data manually, class information can be added in minutes using a simple upload process.
Once classes are in place, teachers can generate their first seating plan immediately. In most cases, a fully functional classroom layout can be created in under five minutes.
SeatSmart requires minimal technical configuration and works alongside existing classroom tools, allowing schools to embed it quickly without disrupting established workflows.
SeatSmart is designed to be intuitive and easy to use from the outset, so formal training is not required for most schools.
The platform includes clear guidance videos and concise written documentation to support initial set-up, whether schools are integrating with existing systems or manually uploading class data. Step-by-step guidance covers creating seating plans, applying adaptable behaviour rules, generating alternative layouts and sharing plans with colleagues.
Most teachers are able to begin using SeatSmart immediately after logging in. For schools that would prefer additional support, live demonstration sessions can be arranged on request.
SeatSmart provides responsive ongoing support to ensure schools feel confident using the platform.
Users have access to clear online guidance materials and short help videos covering common tasks and features. For additional assistance, support is available via email, with timely responses focused on practical solutions.
We actively listen to feedback from schools and use it to inform product improvements and feature development. Updates are rolled out seamlessly, with no disruption to classroom use.
Our aim is to provide straightforward, reliable support that fits around the school day rather than adding to it.
