[school base] Schoolbase users, are you happy with your MIS?

[Blutarsky]

As the subject states, what are your plus and minuses about schoolbase? Advices?

[Blutarsky]

Apparently no one is using shcoolbase over here

[ASA-Simon]

There is 9 schools on it according to https://www.edtechcentral.uk/mis/

 

I doubt you'll get much of a response with such a tiny marketshare.

Thank you for taking me to that chart! According to Schoolbase representatives, 240 schools are using their MIS. Is the provided chart showing a subset of schools?

[ASA-Simon]

I assume it's complete as the data is from DfE. Not sure if that includes private schools.

I used SchoolBase about 7 years ago in a private school, I liked it enough to get them to quote to replace SIMS at another school about 5 years ago but the school did not go ahead with the replacement after the first round of investigation.

 

It was a solid system I feel it was better than SIMS but I don't believe that is a high bar but I last used it before the company changed hands.

Thanks for adding this to discussion.How many years ago they were acquired from another firm?

Volaris acquired school base in 2017

Yes, we've been with them for 10 years now so we know the system very well. We moved from the Facility CMIS just after it was bought by Serco.
