I'm being told that I MUST use Chrome in order for the TES website to work correctly. As RM use SSL interception how do you get around using Chrome (as it has it own certs). p.s. more upset that lazy technical support tells my users to use chrome instead of fixing their site:(

Our Schools now use iSAMS (previously SIMS) and have TES Provision Map using Wonde as an integrator. However, we notice that from iSAMS extractions it brings across the students’ SEN Needs AND Register Notes and puts them all together, randomly, in the SEN Needs area of Provision Map. Obviously, the school do not need to see Register Notes in this area of Provision Map, as there could be a full sentence about the student’s SEN. This area is unmanageable if Register Notes have been added. Has anyone else noticed this if they use iSAMS and Provision Map? Do Notes also show in their schools' SEN Needs in P.M. Provison Map think it is a Wonde issue. I don't think it is. iSAMS do not have a Batch or REST API to separate these 2 fields. It seems illogical to bundle 2 fields together. Any other schools with this issue or is it just us?

Some spring time news. Tes has acquired Education Horizons Group, adding not one but three MIS to their portfolio along with some other products and a heap of customers. https://www.tes.com/for-schools/now-tes/education-horizons EHG who took over DoubleFirst some time ago, adding Engage MIS to their suite, also started work on their new MIS offering Zunia. I was involved in early stages of it and it was pretty amazing, built from the ground up, with a huge team of developers. Now Tes has taken a big step into the MIS market through this acquisition along with Synergetic, EHG's standing school management system, and the other complimentary tools such as Seqta a learning management tool. Engage was pretty all encompassing anyway, but now it has a whole suite of products at its doorstep which adds more choice for schools wanting best in breed add-ons with close integration. Engage || Zunia || Synergetic Exciting times for private and international schools.
