Admissions Challenges
Parents need visibility on what forms and additional documents they need to complete. Schools need automated tracking, processing, and chasing for their forms and documents.
Sharing information for review internally, references from previous schools and collating internal feedback should be consolidated and easily traceable to allow full visibility for all staff involved.
Find solution
The Online Applicant Review is a consolidated interface that provides reviewers easy access and navigation. Automated reviewer allocation keeps all relevant staff up to date and gives admissions full visibility on review progress.
Information provided during the admissions process often changes. Parents need a way to easily verify and update their information.
Find solution
Data that has already been provided pre-populates on subsequent forms, allowing families to simply verify or update their information throughout the process and on the Enrolment Form.

Registers and attendance - each activity within a programme, sports fixture or method of transport requires a separate attendance register to be generated.
Effective communications -parent messaging needs to be streamlined and targeted to the relevant audience.
Organising parent teacher conferences - parents and teachers need a simple system that automatically generates classes and avoids time clashes.

The Move to Online: Two Projects and their Aftermath

Gamification: Tap into Motivation with a Data-driven Approach
Data can be an amazing source of motivation! Sometimes deciding what data to collect is important, but more often it is the way that the data is processed and communicated that can have an even stronger effect on motivation. Gamification used together with effective information can change your Data system from just observing performance and reporting on it to actually being a source of motivation and improvement!
Technology. . . . It's about People
When building a development plan to promote and invest in effective use of technology there is always much emphasis on having the right platforms, with integration and Single Sign On etc., which of course is of high value, however, schools often overlook having the correct human resources and support structures in place without which many initiatives are not as successful as they could be.
