Case Study: Wallisdean Federated Schools achieves real-time data access, time and cost savings with IRIS Software Group

Every day is a smarter school day for Wallisdean Federated Schools

Wallisdean Federated Schools, a Hampshire federation of junior, infant and pre-school provision, struggled when their previous MIS supplier withdrew personal support and failed to deliver long-promised updates, leaving data siloed and staff frustrated. Already users of IRIS ParentMail, the school selected IRIS Ed:gen from IRIS Software Group as a single, cloud-based MIS to replace the failing system and bring together administration, reporting and parent engagement.

IRIS Software Group led a smooth migration to IRIS Ed:gen with hands-on training and ongoing support, unlocking real-time data access for teachers and leaders. The change delivered clear benefits: census reporting was completed in under half an hour (even during an Ofsted visit), costs were lower than the previous SIMS quote with savings on ParentMail, and bespoke attendance and progress reports improved parent communications and targeted interventions.
