Case Study: Kernow Learning achieves trust-wide data consolidation and streamlined operations with IRIS Software Group

Successful trusts of tomorrow need full and fast access to data today

Kernow Learning, a multi-academy trust of 21 schools, was struggling with siloed, manual and time-consuming MIS and reporting processes that couldn’t consolidate trust‑wide information. To address this they moved from their legacy MIS to IRIS Software Group (via IRIS Education), adopting IRIS Ed:gen alongside IRIS Central, IRIS Reach, IRIS Financials and Every HR by IRIS.

IRIS Software Group delivered an integrated, one‑supplier solution—Ed:gen for real-time pupil data and Central for instant trust‑wide reporting—going live within a 1–2 month window and transforming workflows in under a year. The suite gave Kernow Learning click‑to‑pull trust dashboards, faster reporting, reduced administrative burden and errors, improved analytics and streamlined finance and HR processes across all 21 schools, with a single support relationship for ongoing enhancements.
