FAQs
Over the course of our discussions with schools in Wales, we've collected a wide range of questions that you've been asking and placed them all into this document for handy reference. If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via enquiries@bromcom.com
Classroom & Curriculum
Q
Can the attendance register be selected by children on an interactive whiteboard?
A
Bromcom works well with a touch screen and children can register their attendance themselves. For security, sensitive data is hidden in whiteboard mode and the teacher must enter their password to return to the normal view.
Q
Can you import existing assessment marksheets and templates from existing MIS systems?
A
Yes, you can import the data after you have created the marksheets in Bromcom, the process is very simple and for a mid-size school will only take a couple of hours to map across all assessment information.
Administration
Q
Does the system allow for pupil roll over into the next academic year?
A
Yes, Bromcom provides a wizard to help you complete the end of year process as well as lots of documentation.
Q
Do all these features (attendance, assessment, behaviour, emails, etc) come as standard?
A
There are different levels of package so you can choose the appropriate version for your school. However, the one that is being recommended as the best value is the one-stop-shop that will do all this and more.
Q
Does Bromcom support the statutory returns that are required by the Welsh government?
A
Yes, as part of our commitment to Wales, the Bromcom system supports all statutory returns required by the Welsh government.
Q
Does Bromcom include a Safeguarding module?
A
Yes, Bromcom has a full safeguarding suite including a dashboard to help officers keep on top of the case load. Staff can easily log concerns from within the MIS to save switching between systems and remembering multiple logins.
Q
Can Bromcom be used to record staff absence?
A
Yes, Bromcom has a fully built in absence and cover module allowing you to not only record absence but allocate cover and provide comprehensive cover reports.
Parental Engagement
Q
Can parents make payments for meals?
A
Parents can pay for meals or top-up their account through the parent portal and app. There is a complete school shop included along with clubs and trips management. You can also allow PayPoint payments or allow parents to order products that will subsequently be paid for in-person.
Q
Can you organise parents' evenings with the system?
A
Yes, you can arrange parents evenings and it can automatically create Teams or Google meetings if required. Parents can book appointments through the parent portal or app.
Q
Can teachers write end of term reports to parents using the system?
A
Yes, and it will create and publish reports directly onto the parent app. Many of our schools no longer print any paper reports saving thousands in print costs.
Q
Can we collect information for pre-admission parents online?
A
For pre-admission data to be collected the parents can be provided with a login to the portal or app. This allows them to populate all their data online and make the application process fully paperless.
Migration & Integration
Q
What information is migrated from SIMS?
A
Bromcom migrates a huge amount of data including all staff and pupil data, attendance, behaviour, dinner money and for secondaries - exams and timetables. We migrate seven years' worth of data as standard with additional years available upon request. Scope documents are available for all migration methods, so you can feel confident about what will be included.
Q
What third party systems does Bromcom integrate with?
A
We integrate with hundreds of third-party systems either through our own free APIs or via Wonde and Groupcall - check the full list of partners here: https://bromcom.com/partners
Q
Would this system also replace ParentPay or integrate with it?
A
Bromcom can either integrate with ParentPay or replace it. We recommend bringing it all into Bromcom so parents can pay for meals and clubs whilst they read termly reports and see their child's latest achievements.
Q
Does the One-Stop-Shop approach mean I don't need any third-party systems?
A
Our goal is to bring everything under one roof to ease both the financial and administrative burden of all your essential tasks at school. However, we realise that you might not want to change on day one as it's a lot to take on at once. Many schools see out their existing contracts and utilise more of the inbuilt Bromcom functionality over time. This is where the cost savings can really come in and you can maximise the value of your MIS. Regardless of this, there is always the option of keeping your favourite third party systems if you prefer them.
Secondary Specific
Q
Does this programme link with Nova for timetabling?
A
Yes, it does but Bromcom comes with its own timetabling system that allows two way communication so any changes made in the MIS are also reflected in the timetable system. In addition, with Bromcom you rely on the timetabling system far less during the year as it can be properly managed within the MIS.
Q
Is there an Examinations module?
A
Yes, we have a fully compliant JCQ module built into Bromcom. It can manage your base data, entries, results, and analysis, reducing the need for third party products such as 4Matrix and Sisra.
Q
Are Cover and Options modules available?
A
Yes, cover and options are embedded within the MIS. Please contact us if you would like a further demo.
Q
Can individual student timetables be adjusted as needed?
A
Yes, this can be done directly within the MIS, and any changes are sent back to the Bromcom timetable system giving you a two way process.
Finance
Q
Will existing ledger codes and cost centres be migrated from our current FMS system?
A
We will work closely with your Finance team to setup your Chart of Accounts (ledger codes and cost centres). As part of this, you'll also have the opportunity to have a tidy up and get rid of any you no longer need.
Q
Is accounts payable and accounts receivable included?
A
Yes, this is all part of the base Bromcom Finance product.
Q
How frequent are the transfers of payments from parents into our bank account?
A
The transfers take place once a week.
Q
Can you do 5-year planning on your system, beyond the 3-year forecasting requirement of LAs?
A
5 Year Budget forecasts are available. The forecasting page allows you to forecast to a maximum of 5 years, so you can choose to use as many years as you like. We also have a forecast factor function to make that process a little bit easier.
