    Last week, the Government announced it was scrapping Ofsted's controversial headline grades. On the same day, Ofsted also agreed to a number of significant reforms set out by an independent learning review. These sweeping changes will not significantly alter what inspections consist of but how inspectors carry them out, as well as how results are reported. Check out our new blog to learn more about the reforms and what they will mean for your school. Read now.

    What is the Bromcom Difference? We know that lots of schools find it hard to choose an MIS as so many of the MIS providers and their products look very similar to them. So we came up with the Bromcom Difference which helps schools understand what makes us unique compared to our competitors. Check out our blog and find out more.

    One of the most critical factors driving today’s attendance epidemic is the decline in parental engagement since Covid. Finding new ways to boost this engagement is critical to protecting children from adopting the negative view many parents now have of school and regular attendance, or this could lead to a further fall in attendance figures. Check out our latest blog to find out what’s caused the drop-off in parental engagement, and how Bromcom is helping schools across the country restore it to pre-pandemic levels. Read now

    Most MIS suppliers only build systems for mainstream schools so they tend to lack the functionality, flexibility, and specialist features SEND schools need. Lucky for special schools, Bromcom ticks every box! Check out our latest blog to find out why special schools always choose Bromcom, and learn more about our MIS for SEND schools. Read the blog here

    In light of the CMA announcing an investigation into ESS’ conduct and the restrictions they have attempted to impose on schools migrating their data to other MIS providers, Bromcom would like to take this opportunity to reassure schools looking to switch MIS that we are still here to support you. This development follows Bromcom’s claim that switching to Bromcom MIS is ‘safe, authorised, and legal’, something ESS themselves claimed and submitted to the CMA in 2022, stating that Bromcom’s migration process was an example of a speedy and efficient solution for schools - https://bromcom.com/news/why-migrating-your-school-data-to-bromcom-is-safe-lawful-and-authorised. Further information has now also been brought to light by Bromcom which shows that restrictions on data migration were spurious in the first place. A publicly available page on the ESS website states: ‘It would be naïve for ESS to assume that the SIMS database is not accessed via SQL.’ When switching from SIMS, Bromcom offers the safest, quickest, and most comprehensive scope on the market, with full transparency and communication throughout the process. If you are looking to make the switch to a cloud MIS in the near future, you can read our full statement here - https://bromcom.com/news/migrating-from-sims-to-bromcom

    Based on our recent survey, 60% of ESS SIMS schools are gearing up to switch their MIS by 2025.

With Bromcom, transitioning to a new MIS provider is a breeze. Our seamless process, backed by 37 years of experience, ensures a smooth switch without the stress. We encourage any schools looking to switch from ESS SIMS, to get in touch with our experts, who will be happy to take you through every step of the process outlined in our MIS switching blog

    We are delighted to announce a hugely successful project between Acer Trust, Scomis, and Bromcom. Acer Trust is a MAT from Oxfordshire who moved three of their schools that use Bromcom MIS over to Scomis’ support network. The schools have benefited from the change and as a result, Acer Trust is now planning to move six more of its primary schools over to Scomis to receive the same services. Michael Heard, Education Business Partner at Scomis, commented: “We are delighted to develop our partnership with Bromcom. Following a successful pilot project with Acer Trust, we are looking forward to providing additional support and MIS choice for schools, as well as developing our working relationship with Bromcom."

With autism awareness week in full flow, we wanted to investigate just how it can affect children and young people in education. To achieve this, we first need to understand more about autism, the many forms it takes and the challenges it can pose. Former headteacher, Dan Sears shares his findings in an informative blog, which you can read here: https://bromcom.com/autism-awareness-week
