A practical platform for managing school facility hire, community bookings and after-hours use.
At EWS, we’re always looking for practical tools that can make life easier for schools — especially when they help reduce admin, create new opportunities, and support stronger community connections.
For schools looking for a simpler way to manage facility hire, community bookings, and after-hours use of spaces like halls, courts, ovals and recreation areas, PitchUp is one we’re happy to recommend.
They’ve created a smart platform that helps schools turn underused facilities into a well-managed community asset — without adding extra workload for staff.
PitchUp is an EdTech SaaS platform that makes it easy for school and venue leaders to manage and commercialise community access to their sports and recreation facilities — so more people can find, book, and use local spaces.
For schools, that means three things:
-
Time back — Hire agreements and invoices become one click. Streamlining bookings, payments, and access cuts the admin that usually eats staff hours, so facilities become an asset, not a burden.
-
New revenue — activating courts, halls, and pitches during otherwise idle hours turns underused space into a sustainable income stream.
-
A safer, more connected hub — Managed, accountable community access helps the school become a genuine local gathering point, building inclusive and active communities around it.
