Well we are an official examination centre for GCSE, AS and A levels. Not sure if we are officially recognised by the UK government as a school. We are an independent, self funded school attached to our church, teaching the Greek language and culture to anyone who wants to learn it (we've been running our school since 1961). We don't offer a full curriculum, the children still go to their regular schools during the week. We have nine teachers in total.

@scholarpack, thanks for getting back to me. Not a problem, it was just an inquiry. @vikpaw, yes we do have a unique school here, it supports a small-ish Greek community in Birmingham, hence the weekend schooling mostly. And yes costs will play a very big part in all of this. We do already have an account with a SMS system which works well and an email account that we use, it would be nice to have a single system that can do everything we want in one place. Thanks for the help guys.

The reason I said was because of this line in the MarketResearch site

Thank you for the response Graham. When I say brushed off a little, let me clarify a little more, they had concerns over our Secondary school requirements and thought our needs would not be met with their system. I would say that we are not truly a secondary school, as we cater from pre-school up to sixth form ages and this was more about managing the school more efficiently. Anyway, not a problem. I'll have a look at those links and the survey. Many thanks. Having had a quick look at the survey, it looks as though Plus! For Schools in not on the list, granted the survey is not fully representative of all schools.

Hi all, I am looking around at MIS systems for our school, just to see if it will be of any benefit to us. It is a small school of around 80 pupils, runs mostly on Saturdays and some week nights. We have students ranging from 4-5 up to 17. We are also an examination centre for GCSE, AS and A levels and feed into Pearson/EdExcel. We currently manage with Cloud hosting our files and using Excel, Word or Access files to manage pupils. I'd like to modernise our approach to this stuff a little more. I been in contact with ScholarPack, but got brushed off a little, I have also seen these guys. Does any one have any experience with them? Schoolbacs: Plus! for Schools - Overview Do MIS systems come with the ability to email or text parents? Currently we have separate SMS and email accounts.
