About WCBS
The school MIS specialist
The market leader
Over 450 independent school customers rely on our expertise, making WCBS the UK’s number one provider of school management information systems.
We offer the benefits of close to 30 years of experience in this sector, and work with a large range of independent schools from Junior and Pre-Prep through Prep, Senior and All Through schools, and a growing international client base.
A fresh approach
Our exceptional academic, administrative, finance and alumni development management products free you to access, organise, manage and share information quickly, efficiently and accurately. And because these products work off the same database, they can be used as standalone solutions, or can easily be integrated to create an all-encompassing MIS suite.
School groups
WCBS works successfully with many school groups, including English Schools’ Foundation (ESF); Allied Schools; Methodist Colleges and Schools; Woodard Foundation; SIS Schools (Indonesia); Taaleem Group. Our experience and track record mean we understand the unique needs of groups. These include requirements such as multi-site consolidation of cost centres or multi-school analysis, with or without centralised management.
We can provide this consolidated view, enabling management teams to quickly and easily gain the overall picture across their schools, collectively or individually. From financial analysis to reviewing the effectiveness of different marketing activities, our approach gives school groups the capabilities they need.
Professional service
Through our expert teams, user groups and regular customer networking and feedback sessions, we continue to put schools' needs at the centre of our thinking.
We have clear management processes that ensure technical product excellence is matched by a highly professional and coordinated service approach. You’ll find our teams are characterised by their responsiveness and openness to new ideas. This business philosophy enables WCBS to give schools what they need most: confidence and peace of mind.
MIS product evolution
WCBS first started supplying independent schools with bursary-based finance systems in the early 1980s, and in 2003 we introduced our academic and administration management products. Our relationships with customers using multiple WCBS MIS products ultimately benefit our users, helping drive and extend development of our academic management software.
Feedback on our first generation academic MIS software prompted us to create a completely new and innovative web based academic solution: 3Sys, launched in 2010. This exciting product range has made a big impact with our customers. 3Sys signals the way forward for WCBS, and demonstrates our commitment to giving schools the most useful, innovative and powerful MIS tools.
We have a clear development roadmap in place to ensure we continue to extend the benchmark for fast and user-friendly academic MIS products.
