“The transition to Compass, from our previous MIS, has been seamless thanks to the amazing support from the onboarding team. Their dedication and enthusiasm to making sure everything went smoothly was very reassuring and filled not only myself but our whole team with confidence. Their dedicated support and service has enabled our school to create new working systems to reduce workload and improve many areas of our business.”

“Compass is a child-centred system that contextualises data to give us a complete picture of each student’s journey, but also provides exceptional, personalised support and this is unique in the realm of educational management systems. Implementing a new management system can be complex, however the Compass team have built connections with our staff and have ensured that the system aligns with our needs as a school.”

“We looked at a number of providers before we decided to ‘put our faith’ into Compass, but for us the decision was quite easy. We felt that Compass was offering the best option for our MIS, in terms of its functionality, but also, and perhaps mainly, because of its flexibility and Compass’ approach and focus on customer service. It was important to us that we are not just ‘a small fish in a big pond’ for our MIS provider and to have a close working relationship where we are able to discuss our needs and get an MIS that is fit for purpose and able to respond to our needs and change in requirements, and we felt that Compass were offering exactly that.”

“We chose Compass because of its product flexibility and the support it offers my team. But more than the product, it was the people – the Compass team. There’s a stage in life where you become more about the people you know rather than the things they can give you and we felt a strong sense of reassurance and partnership with the Compass team.

We feel honoured to be one of the first independent schools to be working in partnership with Compass UK. We feel valued and are able to share our suggestions with Compass; our views are heard and future solutions developed to support them.”
