How Holy Trinity Primary School saved money and admin time

How Holy Trinity Primary School saved money and admin time

/ Joanna Grimbley-Smith

Holy Trinity is an outstanding primary school serving the community of Marlow in Buckinghamshire and popular with families in the local area. As the school reviewed its MIS contract, leadership recognised an opportunity to modernise systems and improve efficiency.

 

The challenge

After years of using their legacy MIS, the school felt it was no longer keeping pace with its needs, citing slow system performance and difficulty accessing, analysing and reporting on data. They were keen to reduce their reliance on third-party products and looking for an MIS that offered more functionality.

 

The goal

The school wanted a modern MIS that would make data easier to access and share, improve day-to-day processes and reduce their reliance on additional software.

 

The solution

After reviewing their options, Holy Trinity chose Bromcom, and a key factor in the decision was Bromcom’s integrated approach, which allowed the school to replace several separate products with a single platform. The school were supporting in their move with clear guidance and training resources.

 

Results

  • £1,000 saved a year on third-party products
  • Quicker access to information for senior leaders and governors
  • Admin teams saving three hours a week on key tasks
  • Improved efficiency and flexibility with cloud access

 

Moving to Bromcom enabled Holy Trinity to modernise its MIS, while reducing operational costs. Access to key financial and operational data was quicker, reporting easier and admin teams were able to work more effectively.

“If I’m working with the governors or school leadership team and they need information, I can get that much quickerthan I used to be able to” – School Bursar, Holy Trinity Primary School

 

Key takeaways

  • Replace complexity with simplicity
  • Make data easier to access
  • Reduce reliance on add-ons
  • Support adoption with training
