What is Detentions?

Detentions is Satchel One’s online detention system, built to streamline your school’s behaviour policy. Teachers can log detentions quickly, add key details like time and reason, and notify families instantly. With built-in reporting, senior leaders gain full visibility over detentions and student behaviour patterns.

Address poor behaviour—fast

Low-level disruption can quickly erode learning time and teacher wellbeing. Detentions helps staff respond to poor behaviour immediately, giving students clarity and encouraging better choices next time.

  • Set detentions in line with school policy
  • Add reasons, duration, location and time
  • Reduce lost learning time by tackling issues quickly
  • Reinforce expectations and support consistency across staff

Build student responsibility

Effective behaviour strategies go beyond punishment—they teach students accountability. With clear, accessible information and parental involvement, Detentions gives students the structure they need to take ownership of their behaviour.

  • Students view upcoming detentions in their timetable
  • Automatic notifications sent to parents and guardians
  • Paperless detentions eliminate confusion and lost slips
  • Students receive clear details: date, time, room, and reason

Reduce admin for staff and SLT

Manual detention tracking is time-consuming and often inconsistent. Satchel One automates the process—saving time for classroom teachers while giving school leaders robust data for analysis and reporting.

  • Record student detention attendance in-platform
  • Generate automated reports sent directly to SLT
  • Align detention data with school-wide behaviour policies
  • Set up escalation pathways using linked Satchel One features
