Every school runs its MIS its own way, and by the time the trust board sees a number it has been through four spreadsheets. We integrate the MIS estate, govern the data once, and give central teams, heads and local authorities the same trusted view.
150+ schools live · 5M+ attendance rows a month · G-Cloud supplier · BPSS & BS7858 screened
A supplier who has to be told what a MAT is, or why safeguarding data cannot sit with everything else, will cost you a term.
All three sit on the same governed platform, so the second and third cost a fraction of the first.
One connection per school through Wonde or a direct API, normalised so reporting does not care which MIS a school runs. New schools onboard in days.
Trust-wide and school-level views with agreed definitions, row-level security, and persistent absence flagged early enough to act on.
Power Apps and Power Automate for the processes still running on email and spreadsheets: returns, approvals and data collection from schools.
A reference you can click through and a referee who will take your call.
Schools live on the platform, and still growing
Built with Learn Sheffield and scaled from 40 schools to more than 150, ingesting over five million attendance rows every month into reporting that schools, the trust and the local authority all work from.
Most education engagements are bought under existing framework terms. Three steps, and procurement gets one link rather than six attachments.
A 30-minute call with someone who has built this before. We come back with an approach, an indicative cost and the risks we can already see.
Service definitions and pricing, ISO and Cyber Essentials Plus certificates, DPIA, data processing agreement, insurance and named referees — one link.
Buy through the Digital Marketplace, then fixed-price discovery, then a first governed release six to ten weeks later.
Not on G-Cloud? We also deliver through other public-sector frameworks and directly under your own terms — see all the routes to buy us
The platforms in common UK use — including SIMS, Arbor and Bromcom — through the school’s chosen data-sharing route, such as Wonde or a direct API. Where a trust runs more than one MIS, we normalise them into one model so reporting does not care which school uses which system.
Held and processed in the UK, under UK GDPR, with role-based access control, encryption and full audit logging. We are ISO 27001 certified and Cyber Essentials Plus, every member of staff is screened to BPSS and BS7858, and a DPIA and data processing agreement come as standard rather than on request.
Usually not. We are a G-Cloud supplier, so trusts, schools and local authorities can buy through the Digital Marketplace under existing framework terms. The buyer pack gives your procurement team everything in one link.
Yes — built to WCAG 2.2 AA, tested with keyboard and screen reader, with an accessibility statement provided for publication. You are legally required to publish one, so it forms part of the handover.
Adding a school to an existing platform is usually days once the MIS connection is approved. A new trust-wide platform runs to a fixed-price discovery of two to three weeks, then six to ten weeks to a first governed release.
The data estate and the code stay yours. We build in your tenancy where possible, document the model and pipelines as we go, and hand over a data dictionary and runbooks so another supplier or an in-house team can pick it up.
A short, senior-led conversation with someone who has built for trusts before. No hard sell.
