Case Study: The Fernwood School improves financial reporting and data visibility with PS Financials

The Fernwood School - Customer Case Study

The Fernwood School, a high-performing 11–16 academy in Nottingham, needed a more capable finance system after finding its outsourced Corero (Civica Resource) setup cumbersome and weak in reporting. The school struggled with tasks like securely importing journals from Excel and copying data out for analysis, which made it difficult to interrogate financial information effectively.

PS Financials implemented its education finance software for The Fernwood School, giving the team better drill-down reporting, easier journal importing, and a more intuitive Windows-based interface. The transition was described as seamless, with strong training and support throughout, and the school reported a positive overall experience with greater visibility from day one and confidence in continued support from PS Financials.
