Anthem Schools Trust: Why we chose Bromcom

Anthem Schools Trust: Why we chose Bromcom

/ Joanna Grimbley-Smith

Anthem Schools Trust is a multi-academy trust that consists of 16 schools dotted in the Midlands and London. Last year the trust decided to switch to Bromcom’s One-Stop Shop MIS and went live back in April. Recently they shared feedback with us about why they chose Bromcom and their fantastic experience of using our cloud-based, web-timetabling solution Cloud wTimeTable (known also as wTimetable).

“At Anthem Schools Trust, we are constantly on the lookout for innovative solutions across all of our systems and processes. Having moved over to Bromcom for the 2024-25 academic year, we saw great success in replacing legacy systems with internal solutions focused around Bromcom, in terms of both outputs and financially.

One thing that caught our attention was wTimetable, as a standout timetabling solution with the great benefit of being cloud-based. As a geographically spread trust, the ability to collaborate with colleagues on their timetable projects remotely is extremely valuable, especially as many are still new to the MIS as a whole. Our timetablers have found it easy to engage with wTimetable due to the familiar, intuitive interface and direct link with their MIS data, including the slick options process which sits alongside wTimetable. Bromcom’s self-led training resources are also easy to follow at a pace that suits senior leaders and admin staff.

We are most excited by the direction of development for wTimetable, as industry-leading features are on the horizon. The ability to pre-plan, create a timetable, and adjust the timetable in-year directly in the MIS will enable our schools to drastically reduce the hours spent on the process, saving us time, resources and improving the turnaround on changes that positively affect our students.

For Anthem Schools Trust, moving to wTimetable is not just the right choice financially, but the right choice to empower our schools to timetable with a modern, innovative, customer-driven solution that reduces the administrative burden of one of the largest tasks each academic year.”
