[sims] Schoolview - Anyone used it? Was it sufficiently useful?

[pete]

As is often the case, people wave brochures at me, this time for SIMS Schoolview, which could be useful as a dashboard across our SIMS-using schools.

 

Is anyone using Schoolview currently and does your trust find it useful enough to justify the faff / cost of implementation?

 

My lot are used to SISRA as a comparison point.

We had it for 18 months or so before we moved to Bromcom - it was pretty rubbish, I won't lie. But it was cheap - I think in the region of £150 per school. *some* useful metrics, some not, not really very customisable.

 

Before we switched to Bromcom we were looking at their power bi connection - they released a bit of info and some instructions for exporting information, which was free. obviously that requires some knowledge but given the time again I would go down that route and perhaps spend the schooview money on getting someone to set up a basic dashboard in power bi.
