For schools opening or growing

See your school running before it opens.

Nobody hands you the manual for how a school runs day to day. First IMS gives founding heads, owners and academic leaders a starting structure for the decisions that have to be made before the first term.

The work before the first term

The school is more than its timetable

The visible work is classrooms, teachers and admissions. The operating work underneath is what determines whether the first term feels deliberate or improvised.

  • Decide how learning will be recorded

    Set the assessment categories, weights and reporting cycle before teachers create their own version of each one.

  • Decide who needs to see what

    Give the safeguarding lead, senior leadership, heads of department and teachers the access each role actually needs.

  • Decide how the school responds

    Make attendance, safeguarding, medical information, staff leave and parent communication part of one operating rhythm.

What First IMS brings

The product is full of answers to questions you have not been asked yet.

Weighted assessment will not save until the categories total 100 per cent. Reporting has teacher and senior leadership deadlines. NEST has safeguarding categories, routing rules and a record of who read each note. The fire register shows who is in school. The medical tab keeps allergies, dietary requirements and a preferred hospital together.
