Over 640,000 pupils have been missing school every week due to self-isolation requirements.

Although the demand for face-to-face learning remains high, blending learning needs to stay front of mind so schools and MATs can remain agile in rapidly changing circumstance.

However, today, edtech is hindering not helping teachers and senior leaders to facilitate this blended learning. They lose bandwidth and time they don’t have by constantly having to change their plans.

No matter whether in-person or virtual, teachers need complete access to accurate information on students’ academic, wellbeing and safeguarding data to create a holistic view of each pupil.

Unfortunately, there are still gaps in school technological capabilities. A research has revealed that 44% of teachers and school leaders did not have apps for teachers to capture work and assessments and only 39% had the capacity for parents to view student data.

As students, parents and teachers continue to live with the risk of having to self-isolate at any given moment, a future-fit Management Information System (MIS) is essential for giving teachers the right intelligence to ensure no student misses out on critical learning.

Schools desperately need real-time intelligence. Harnessing a single, secure cloud-based platform will streamline teachers’ admin tasks, saving time and removing the pain of keeping on top of internal messages and term-end reporting.

With integrated community-wide comms, teachers would get the right information to the right people at the right time, and ensure both staff and parents can work seamlessly to improve pupil outcomes.
