IRIS ParentMail customer coffee mornings
IRIS ParentMail customers, this one's for you!
We've recently launched our all-new customer coffee mornings, held exclusively for schools using IRIS ParentMail.
These virtual events provide a forum for you to meet product specialists, share best practice, network with your peers, discover the latest updates from IRIS Education, and ask any questions you may have.
We've already hosted two sessions, and we'd love your feedback! Catch up with the latest customer coffee morning and let us know your feedback in our survey - this will help to shape our future sessions, set to take place in the new year.
Cranbrook School shares their story
How many EdTech suppliers do you need in your school office?
With so many EdTech solutions available to schools, you can see how many find themselves in a position where they have 10+ different providers for their back-office functions.
For Cranbrook School in Kent, this was certainly the case, and when they decided to switch MIS, they felt it was a good time to reassess all their EdTech needs. We recently caught up with their Bursar, Karen Radford , to hear why IRIS Education is the perfect package for Cranbrook.

Understanding education pensions
In our new guide for schools, academies, and trusts, we explore two widely embraced pension options in England: the Teachers’ Pension and the Local Government Pension Scheme.
The document helps staff to unpick the complexities of education pensions to simplify pension management in your organisation and help you understand the external options available to you. You can download your free copy today.
Trust Leaders Survey
If you’re a trust leader (part of your trust’s executive leadership team) we’d love to hear your thoughts to learn how we can continue to deliver the technologies and services that trust's like yours really want.
Our survey will only take 5-10 minutes to complete, and as a bonus, we'll donate ￡2 to our charitable partner, Children in Need, for every completed entry.
