About Furlong | Empowering your School, your Way
Furlong is an education software company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom. We are not a typical software company, and we have never tried to be. We exist because schools deserve more than generic systems, automated queues and distant suppliers who do not understand the realities of school life. Schools are communities built on people who care deeply about children, and they need partners who approach their work with the same care and commitment.
From the start, we believed that schools should not have to adjust their practices to fit their software. Their software should adapt to them. Every school has its own culture, priorities and way of working, and our goal is to support that individuality rather than limit it. Our products are intentionally designed to be flexible and configurable so that each school can shape the system to reflect its own values and needs.
Our approach is grounded in our core values. Integrity guides us to be open, honest and reliable in every interaction. Empathy shapes the way we listen, understand and respond to the needs of school staff. Determination drives us to keep going until we find the right solution, even when challenges are complex.
We believe in real human connection. Furlong has always been built on personal relationships. We answer the phone, we learn names, we remember people and we solve problems together. Our customers are not account numbers; they are partners who trust us because we act with integrity and because we hire people who genuinely care.
As a small British company, we move quickly, adapt easily and take ownership of our work. We support one another, we stay focused on the needs of schools and we continue working until the job is done. Everyone here has a visible impact, not only on our team but on the many staff and families supported by the schools we work with.
In everything we do, we focus on making the work of school staff easier so they can concentrate on what they believe is best for their school and community. We combine adaptable software with personal and reliable service so that schools can work with confidence while preserving the identity that makes them unique.
