Schoolcomms or not schoolcomms - that is the question...

[overworkedunderpaid]

Hi everyone,

 

We have been using Schoolcomms for a couple of years. It does what it says on the tin, support is good and staff like it. Even so, just got the bill through and the head wants me to check out alternatives.

 

Just wondering what you people use to communicate with the parents of your schools - cost, usefulness, integration with MIS - if so which system (we use SIMS), how do the admin staff find it and ease of installation???

 

Many thanks in advance.!!

We were a happy a customer of Schoolcomms for 3 or 4 years but we started to look at competitor products on the market due to the cost of schoolcomms. They are happy to keep custom, and will generally look to offer you a good deal if you speak to them directly, also if you sign up for a longer term deal such as 3 years their is more flexibility in the cost also.

We have been using Schoolcomms for 4 - 5 years and are looking at alternatives, Sims Intouch is way to expensive so we currently have a trial with keepkidssafe. Its web based, significantly cheaper and has a few nice features over schoolcomms.
