Software for independent schools
An enquiry arrives and waits until somebody in the admissions office can get to it. Between that and a registration there is an open morning, an assessment, a reference and a fee, and each of those lives somewhere different. The MIS holds some of it. The rest is in a spreadsheet and somebody's inbox. This year's funnel gets built by hand, every time anyone asks for it.
Where it usually goes wrong
The registrar's inbox is half the admissions system
iSAMS or Engage has the registration and the fee. The open morning list came off a web form, the assessment results are on a spreadsheet, and the chasing sits in the registrar's sent items. Every one of those is a separate family record with a different spelling of the same name.
The number the governors ask for lives in Excel
The standard reports in SIMS or iSAMS answer the questions somebody anticipated. The one the finance committee asked for, cut the way they asked for it, becomes an export to a spreadsheet and a set of formulas nobody else can check. So the same export gets rebuilt before every meeting.
One trip, three systems, four messages
A trip or a club sign-up is a letter by email, a consent form on Firefly, and a payment on ParentPay. The class WhatsApp group carries a fourth version that nobody at the school wrote. Whoever missed one of them rings the office.
Assessing a bursary means opening whatever the family sent
Payslips as photographs, accounts as PDFs, a form somebody filled in by hand and scanned. It lands in an inbox, gets forwarded to the people assessing it, and a decision has to be recorded and defended later. Family financial documents sitting in a shared drive is nobody's intention, and under UK GDPR it matters that you can say who opened them.
