Genius unleashed
Potential made possible
Supporting 2.5m learners every single day, wherever you are
Learner improvement, engagement and achievement are top priorities for every educational organisation. We support learners from primary school all the way through to completing university with innovative solutions that help teachers, tutors and lecturers achieve these goals. Access your key data, monitor, communicate whether you’re in the classroom or teaching remotely - and ultimately create more contact time.
Challenges faced in Schools & Multi-Academy Trusts
Schools and academies are facing many challenges in trying to improve teaching and learning. Student numbers are growing faster than budgets, so schools have to do more with less. Teachers juggle conflicts between dealing with administration and maintaining student contact time.
Reporting Trust-wide
There is a need for accurate and timely reporting for each academy and the Trust in its entirety, with the ability to report at cluster level.
Entries completed on time
Census time can be stressful. It is important to ensure all data submissions information, as well as exam entries, are completed in a timely manner.
Inspection readiness
A pending visit by Ofsted can be challenging. A school needs to have key information ready to present so they can easily provide Ofsted with everything they need.
Challenges faced in Further Education
Improving student experience and retention is pivotal to everything you do. Providing students with a view of their progress is key to this. Access to timetables, attendance records, targets and progress reviews allows them to take an active part in their education.
Viewing key data
It is vital to be able to access accurate data to review key performance indicators (financial / educational) to assess the current situation and predict future performance.
Maintain compliance
Maintaining a high quality level of statutory compliance will generate funding and avoid penalties: these include examination data and submission, Individualised Learner Record (ILR) and Ofsted readiness.
Reporting on data accurately
Developing accurate reports and supplying management information (from multiple systems) to stakeholders across the institution i.e. Head of Faculty, teaching staff, IT and Finance is increasingly important.

CLOUD SCHOOL
MIS for Schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs)
Schools are finding that student numbers are growing faster than budgets. Teachers have to constantly juggle conflicts between administration and contact time. Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) are working hard to improve student attainment, share the burden of business operations and centralise decision-making.
That’s why we developed Cloud School, our next generation Cloud-based Management Information System (MIS). It enables you to access vital performance data, with easy to use dashboards, when you need it anytime, anywhere - from any device.
