Questions

The things schools ask first

What is First IMS?

One system for running a school. Attendance, student and staff records, assessment, reports, safeguarding, HR, invoicing and parent communication, all reading from the same records rather than from separate files that have to be reconciled.

How much does it cost?

Core is $0.75 per student, per month and Growth is $1.00 per student, per month. Larger and multi-campus schools are quoted on the Custom plan. Published rates are shown on the pricing page, and your written quote confirms the price and terms for your school.

What happens to the data we already have?

Standard onboarding and agreed data import are included. We assess your exports first and confirm what can be migrated before you commit. Unusual data recovery or bespoke transformation is scoped separately.

How does First IMS use AI?

First IMS does not currently use generative AI in student-data workflows. Any future AI feature will be introduced transparently, with clear data-handling controls and school approval.

How is safeguarding data protected?

NEST is a module inside First IMS rather than a separate tool, so a safeguarding note is attached to the student record but visible only to the roles that should see it. Every note records who has read it. Access is configurable per school.

Can it handle more than one campus?

Yes, on the Custom plan, which also covers white labelling. If you run two sites today and a third next year, say so early and we will set the structure up for that from the start.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. We will set you up on a demo school with your own subjects and year groups rather than ours, so you are looking at something that resembles your timetable. Ask for a demo and we reply within one working day.

See your school running before it opens.

Tell us what you are planning, where your current setup is breaking, or how the next campus should fit the first. We will set up a useful demo without student names or other personal data.
