Where we are now
We have selected Veracross as our future Student Information System following consultation, independent systems reviews and an evaluation of available options.
Veracross will provide the central foundation for managing School information. Alongside this, we are considering how teaching and learning systems and other applications will work together to support everyday tasks. At this stage we have not made a decision on which Learning Management System will be adopted as part of the project and the implementation of this won't take place until 2028.
Our focus is on understanding what staff need, agreeing clear processes and preparing carefully for the transition. We will share confirmed decisions and opportunities to participate as the project progresses.
A considered approach to change
WISER involves preparation, participation and ongoing improvement. Some activities will overlap as different areas of the School move through the project.
1. Understand our needs
Draw on staff feedback and review everyday workflows to identify what works well and where improvements are needed.
2. Agree how we will work
Define the steps, responsibilities and systems involved in key tasks. Consider the needs of different teams and the experience of students and families.
3. Build and connect
Configure the selected systems, prepare information for transfer and establish the connections between applications.
4. Test with staff
Check workflows using real School scenarios. Identify issues and refine the approach before wider use.
5. Prepare for the transition
Provide information, practical guidance and training relevant to each role. Explain the timing and actions staff need to take.
6. Support and improve
Support staff as new ways of working become established. Use feedback to resolve issues and assess whether the changes are delivering the intended benefits.
Project Roadmap
The project will be implemented in a phased approach with relevant stakeholders being engaged, trained and informed along the journey. The image below shows the current implementation timeline but we will remain agile in execution so this timeline may change over the course of the project.
Our commitment to staff
We will communicate early, explain confirmed decisions and be clear about what is still being worked through.
Learning new systems takes time. Staff feedback will help us understand where more guidance or a different approach is needed.
