Sarah Taylor, Horizon School, Dubai

“When we were looking for a new school management system, we initially whittled a list of five possible suppliers down to two.  Then, when we looked closely at these options in terms of budget and capability, WCBS emerged as a strong winner.

At the time, we were breaking new ground in the Middle East by implementing this school management system, but we had the comfort of knowing how it is widely and successfully used in independent schools right across the UK.

Transition of our administrative data was very straightforward – our information on spreadsheets was easy to manipulate and transfer.  Transferring financial data was slightly trickier because of the old systems we had been using, but once we had developed an appropriate scheme of coding to enable a better match, this too was comparatively simple. 

I think it’s great.  It’s easy to use, and the user interface is straightforward to follow with all the menus and tabs in the logical place.  As administrator, it’s the work of five minutes to change user profiles to read-only or to enable updates.  It makes my life far easier.”
