Cutting ties with your MIS provider?
Equipping you and your team with the best tools for any job improves productivity, efficiency, and pupil outcomes. And a modern, cloud-based MIS is key to the smooth running of any school or trust.
Switching MIS is on the cards for many. And we understand there are numerous considerations and stakeholders to include in the procurement process. You'll want to start exploring your options now, so that you can choose the right provider for your establishment.?
Join our webinar on Wednesday 6th December, 11am, for a complete overview of our very own MIS, IRIS Ed:gen, and details of what’s involved in the switching process. We’ll also touch on the capabilities of our education suite that complements IRIS Ed:gen to enable complete financial management and parent engagement under one, single provider.
Is your trust 'high-quality'?
The DfE recently published guidance on their definition of ‘high-quality’ – what Regions Group are looking for when making decisions about commissioning trust growth. Across five pillars, the guidance breaks down what good looks like.
If you plan to grow in the future, you need to be aware of the new guidance.
We’ve condensed the guide into a handy quiz that will give you an indication of how aligned your trust is. Complete it now to understand your areas of strength and weakness and help you prepare for growth.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a global focal point, sparking enthusiasm for its revolutionary potential alongside equal measures of scepticism.

The transformative power of AI in education is eagerly anticipated, while many sceptics also caution against potential downsides, fearing an erosion of students' critical thinking skills.
Will the scope of AI in education surpass mere shortcuts? We explore just this in our blog.
