Choosing a school management information system (MIS)

[MYK-IT]

The DfE has recently published information in relation to choosing a school management information system.

 

Having the right Management Information System can make a big difference to the effective running of a school. A new table from the Department of Education helps compare the key features of the most popular systems to help you understand what meets your needs best. Explore the table and updated MIS guidance:

The 'cloud hosting' section comparison is certainly not a surprise for one MIS...

Interesting insight. I'll comment on Advanced Learning Cloud School - for Pupil report writer it says TBD, but I'd say it's included and fairly sophisticated, albeit the limitation can come down to how good on-site SSRS skills are. Messaging also TBD and we had SMS integrated. I thought they were previously in one of the DfE approved frameworks, but perhaps have dropped off. On this information, they look like serious contenders to Arbor and Bromcom, but their market share has been in decline for quite a while, only really holding on to a number of secondary schools (2.8% in 2021).

Lol whoever wrote the SIMS one has clearly never used SIMS.
