Case Study: Durrington MAT achieves streamlined end-to-end school management with IRIS Software Group (IRIS Education)

Durrington MAT utilise IRIS Education solutions for strategic end-to-end school management

Durrington Multi Academy Trust (Durrington MAT), which comprises a primary and a high school serving nearly 2,000 students, needed a complete end‑to‑end back‑office solution to streamline operations, safeguard pupils, improve parent engagement and ensure compliance. To meet these needs they adopted IRIS Software Group’s IRIS Education suite, including PS Connect, BioStore/+Pay, IRIS Assets and PS Financials.

IRIS Software Group implemented an integrated set of tools: PS Connect for absence management and communications (translating messages into over 40 languages), BioStore and +Pay for fingerprint‑based cashless catering, IRIS Assets to centrally manage 1,000+ IT assets and support tickets, and PS Financials to centralise Trust finances. The result is faster registration and safeguarding workflows, elimination of cash handling and protected FSM anonymity at lunchtimes, reduced food waste through instant reporting, simplified audits and clearer, real‑time financial and asset visibility—significantly improving efficiency across the MAT.
