| + | Handled this way, a provider change is a planned project rather than a gamble. You move on your own terms, verify each step before the next, and keep a full term of records intact throughout. The schools that struggle are usually the ones that rushed the mapping or skipped the training. Give both the time they need and the switch is far less daunting than it first appears. | ||
| + | Then weigh the admin core: admissions, attendance, reporting and communication. Independent schools often run non-standard year structures, boarding, and busy co-curricular timetables, so flexibility matters. A modular provider such as Compass Education lets you match modules to how your school actually runs, rather than forcing your school to bend to the software. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Build a simple total-cost model across the contract term. Put licensing, onboarding, training, add-on modules, transaction fees and support side by side for each provider, projected over three to five years. A modular provider such as Compass Education makes this easier to reason about, because you can see which functions you are paying for and add others only when you need them, rather than buying a bundle you half use. | ||

| + | A fixed system gives you a set list of features, take it or leave it. It can work if the bundle happens to match how your school runs. The trouble is that schools are not identical. A large multi-academy trust, a small independent and a faith primary all record different things and answer to different bodies. A one-size product asks each of them to bend to the software, and usually one of them ends up keeping a spreadsheet on the side to cover the gap. | ||

| + | Start with billing. Fee collection in an independent school is more involved than a single termly invoice. There are sibling discounts, bursaries, staggered payment plans and add-ons to account for. A dedicated billing module, such as the one [[https:// | ||

| + | Reporting lines are the second point, and they differ by sector. A government school reports into its authority and national returns. A Catholic school often reports to a diocese as well, and may need to record and return information that a non-denominational school does not. Confirm early whether an MIS can produce diocesan and authority reporting without manual reworking, because that is where a poor fit costs staff the most time each term. | ||
