In this case study, Chris shares CDAT’s journey to a single, cloud-based MIS and how Compass is helping the Trust improve data accuracy and reporting, drive greater consistency across schools, and reduce inefficiencies as it continues to grow.
With a growing need to streamline processes and improve communication with families, the school began exploring a more connected, efficient approach to managing day-to-day operations.
With increasing pressure on time and resources, Lanercost needed a more efficient and integrated way to manage administration, communication and payments across the school.
As a new online school, Palm Global Academy initially relied on a combination of shared documents, spreadsheets and separate software platforms to manage daily operations. As the school grew, so did the complexity of its systems.
Like many schools, St John’s Catholic Infant School was looking for a more modern, flexible approach to managing information and day-to-day administration. Their previous MIS was not cloud-based and offered limited functionality, making it difficult for staff to access information when and where they needed it.
Christ the King College is an 11–18 voluntary aided secondary school on the Isle of Wight, jointly founded on Roman Catholic and Church of England traditions. With a strong focus on creating an environment where staff and students can thrive, the school recognised that its technology needed to work harder, and smarter, to support day-to-day operations. Seeking a modern, cloud-based MIS that could reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and grow alongside the school, Christ the King College partnered with Compass to replace their legacy system and consolidate multiple platforms into one integrated solution. In her own words, Kathrin Williams, Business Manager at Christ the King College, reflects on the school’s journey and the impact of moving to Compass. Christ the King College: Our Compass Story
