What is an MIS?
Your Management Information System (MIS) is the backbone of your school's administration. It's where attendance is recorded, assessments are tracked, timetables are managed, reports are generated, and census returns are submitted. When it works well, you barely notice it. When it doesn't, everything grinds to a halt.
Whether you're using a well-established platform or considering a move to something new, having the right support behind your MIS makes all the difference.
Whatever Your School Uses
We have hands-on experience with the MIS platforms used across UK schools — state and independent.
SIMS
The most widely used MIS in UK schools. We provide full support, troubleshooting, and migration assistance.
Arbor
A modern, cloud-based MIS growing in popularity. We help with setup, migration from SIMS, and ongoing support.
SchoolBase
Popular with independent schools. We support configuration, reporting, and integration with other systems.
iSAMS
Built for independent schools. We provide support for setup, data management, and integrations.
How We Help
Day-to-day, we're here when things go wrong — a report that won't run, a user who's locked out, or a setting that's not quite right. We know these systems inside out and can usually resolve issues quickly without disrupting your school day.
"Census time can be particularly stressful. From checking your data ahead of submission to troubleshooting validation errors, we'll make sure your return goes smoothly."
Census time can be particularly stressful, and we've helped many schools through the process. From checking your data ahead of submission to troubleshooting validation errors, we'll make sure your return goes smoothly. We've seen most of the common pitfalls and know how to avoid them.
If you're thinking about migrating to a new MIS — whether that's moving from SIMS to Arbor or switching to a platform better suited to your school — we know that's a big decision and it can feel daunting. We'll guide you through the planning, data migration, staff training, and go-live, making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We also help integrate your MIS with other school systems so everything works together as it should.
