About Applicaa

Transforming admissions with innovation and expertise

Our products are designed by educators and school professionals who understand the work, the pressure and the people behind every intake.

How it started

Built in a school, for a school problem.

Applicaa began as ULAS when geography teachers Guthrie Denniston and Tim Dixon saw a paper admissions process getting in the way at Greenford High School. They built the first version for the work their own team needed to do.

That practical beginning still matters. We build around the round a school actually runs, then connect the record back to the MIS once the student is yours.

  1. A problem staff were living

    Paper applications, falling enrolment and a final round of manual rekeying into the MIS.

  2. The first Admissions+ build

    References, course availability and enrolment moved into one online process.

  3. Other schools joined

    The in-house tool became a shared platform, with records transferring back to each school's MIS.

  4. Applicaa today

    Recruitment, marketing and admissions tools built for education, with Emma working inside them.
