The Key Group has just released the findings from their annual MIS customer satisfaction survey, and Arbor MIS has emerged as the top performer in all categories! When analysing the top five MIS providers based on market share, Arbor and ScholarPack received the highest percentage of respondents who rated their MIS as either a 9 or 10 in satisfaction (Arbor: 34%, ScholarPack: 33%). An MIS plays a crucial role in various school operations and is utilised by staff across the organisation, including office personnel, premises managers, support staff, teachers, and leadership teams. For staff transitioning to a new school with a different MIS than they’re accustomed to, quickly adapting to the new system is essential for minimising their workload and boosting their confidence in the new environment. Similarly, for schools transitioning to a new MIS, it is important that the change is as smooth as possible. This ensures that the daily operations of the school or trust remain uninterrupted, allowing staff to access all necessary data to effectively perform their responsibilities. If you'd like to find out more about Arbor MIS, then get in touch! #schoolMIS #cloudMIS #Arboreducation #Arbor #cashbooksystem #schoolreporting #schoolcommunication #studentdata #staffdata #AIintergration

An important reminder from the NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit on the responsibility we all have to report safeguarding concerns.

Had an amazing time in Leeds and Manchester speaking to schools about our systems and how we can help. One thing stood out and that was that so many schools talked about the stress around managing the post-16 bursaries ensuring everything is documented and ready for audits as any mistakes could result in the funding being taken away. Which can have a huge knock-on effect on students and the school. We then talked about our system Bursary16+ which includes ESFA To-Do Lists, Checklists, and Audit Sheets, simplifying compliance and reducing administrative burden and more importantly stress. We then discussed how we monitor any changes in the guidelines to adapt the system each year. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, schools already using our system report a significant increase in student applications. Furthermore, the best part is that it can be funded with 5% of your ESFA allocation so not out of the school budget.

I'm terrible with stats and rankings. I am. I get my Q-esses and my CUGs mixed up and forget to mention Gold this and Triple Accredited that. But when you get direct feedback from 4000+ Liverpool students praising the way we do things, and demonstrating improvement in the way they think about us, that's something I can shout about- because it speaks directly to the support we offer and the experience that students can expect-whether they are with us for 3 years or a single semester. https://lnkd.in/exY8UZPt University of Liverpool, University of Liverpool Global Opportunities

Schools get a lot of flak these days. Right from the curriculum to standardised testing pressure and overcrowded classrooms. But let’s take a moment to recognise and appreciate all the teachers and the impact they create on students. - David Beckham credits his PE teacher for his football career. - Oprah Winfrey credits her teacher for believing in her potential. - Stephen Hawking credits his teacher for his interest in physics. + millions more across the world are crushing it in their fields because of their school teachers. Educators shape the future. And this is the driving force for all the work we do at Local Education. Teachers: 📈 Spark curiosity 📈 Build confidence 📈 Make learning exciting The UK needs a better system to bridge the gap between teachers and schools—and we’re leading the charge. All to create an impact like this 👇

Scotland colleges have announced esports degrees. After-school esports clubs = great. I'm all about it. Teaches teamwork, digital savvy, normalises girl gaming, etc etc. But the leap to full-fledged degrees has been pretty challenging. I get that they could make money, students would be interested, but I'm worried this is the amateur response to the gaming prompt. eSports should be enhancing education overall, and integrating into maths, physics, art, writing, and computer science. The eSports degrees to me feel ok, boomer. Tell me I'm wrong? Please? https://lnkd.in/eJ-Xiacc
