Just a FYI - Lincolnshire - all schools have a centrally provided MIS in the shape of Integris G2 which is provided by LCC as part of the core services.

Thanks for the heads up - we did know this already. I believe the contract will be put out to tender when they renew soon.

 

Just to make clear - this job role deals with schools nationwide not just locally.
