Case Study: The Circle Trust achieves trust-wide visibility and streamlined cloud reporting with Access Group

The Circle Trust - Customer Case Study

The Circle Trust is a growing multi-academy trust serving 6 primary and secondary schools in Berkshire that formed in 2017. Faced with the need to balance effective, trust-wide coordination of finance and business systems while preserving each school’s individual identity—and moving away from reliance on separate, individual servers—the trust implemented Access Education Budgets and Access Education People from Access Group.

Access Group delivered a cloud-based solution that gives role-based remote access for back-office staff, SLT and governors, plus consolidated and personalised finance reporting. With Access Education Budgets and People, The Circle Trust can produce coordinated, consolidated reports for different stakeholders in just a few clicks, gain greater visibility across the trust and rely on more accurate data—an immediate, measurable improvement to its operations across all six schools.
