Consistency across staff
Incidents are logged against defined categories and severities rather than in free text, so the same behaviour is treated the same way whichever teacher records it.

Discipline records
A record the school can stand behind.
Standard plan and above
Why it matters
Patterns rather than memory
A learner's history is visible in one place. A decision about a repeated issue rests on a record rather than on whoever happens to remember the previous incidents.
Merit as well as sanction
The same mechanism records commendations and merits, so the file on a learner is not exclusively a list of failures.
Discipline is the area where a school is most likely to be challenged on its record, and most likely not to have one.
Msomi logs incidents against defined categories and severities, attributed to the member of staff who recorded them and dated. Sanctions are recorded with their outcome and, where relevant, a review date. Guardians can be notified automatically where the school’s policy calls for it.
Two things follow. The first is consistency: the same behaviour recorded by different teachers lands in the same category. The second is visibility: a learner’s history sits in one place, so a decision about a repeated issue is made on evidence rather than on whichever incidents happen to be remembered.
The same mechanism records merits and commendations, which matters — a behaviour record that only ever accumulates negatives is one that staff quietly stop trusting.
