Case Study:
Bloomsbury International School
Situated in the heart of southern Thailand, Bloomsbury International School is a small and vibrant learning community offering a high-quality international education.
Bloomsbury chose HUBmis for its unified approach to support their vibrant learning community.
Case Study:
Heathcote Preparatory School and Nursery
Heathcote School, with its commitment to providing a high-quality educational experience, sought a comprehensive Management Information System (MIS) that could streamline its administrative and financial processes.
Samantha Scott, Head Teacher at the school, explains why HUBmis was chosen as the school’s solution.
Case Study:
Shine International Academy
Shine International Academy is a school which meets the needs of every child who comes through the door, offering a universal provision for a mix of neurotypical and neurodiverse children.
Paula Watch, Principal of the school, explains why HUBmis was chosen as the school’s solution.
After evaluating all the major School Management Systems, we chose HUBmis due to the far superior and intuitive user interface.
Most School Management Systems are complex to use, requiring considerable training, but there is no point having all these bells and whistles if people can’t easily use them. During the pandemic we selected our LMS based on a UI that was powerful and teacher friendly which worked really well for our school. Thus, we decided to move to HUBmis for our school MIS using the same principle.
Further, being built from the ground up over the last 3 years, we believe HUBmis offers us a future proofed system, well positioned for us to take advantage of the benefits of the very latest in cloud-native technology.”
Suvin Wettimuny, Academic Director
Stafford International School, Colombo
Migrating to a new MIS is possibly the largest challenge a bursar or school IT Director will face. WCBS project managers worked with extraordinary attention to detail when Queen’s moved from a competitor product to passFINANCE and 3sysACADEMIC.
The Queens School, Chester
We started to use passFINANCE Payroll in April and it has gone very smoothly. The consultants were extremely helpful, I have phoned the helpdesk several times and they have been excellent, Overall – we are absolutely delighted by it!
Lord Wandsworth College
I’d like to pass on my thanks for an extremely helpful, professional and responsive service we received from Mark House and the data services team. The documentation and knowledgeable advice added to the all-round excellence.
Denstone College
Case Study:
ACE of Brussels International School
Principal Jackie Daire
ACE of Brussels is a unique and inspirational school community where Project Based Learning allows their students to do, to experience and to construct. They were searching for an MIS for their international location, with integration functionality and at a price that a small school could afford.
Principal Jackie Daire says, “HUBmis caters for all of our needs as an International School and moving to cloud native technology has saved us a huge amount of time and money.”
Case Study:
Beehive Preparatory School
Head Teacher Jamie Gurr
Having such good feedback from our colleagues who were involved with Beehive Prep, we were keen to find out how HUBmis was fitting in, especially to a small school. Head Teacher, Jamie Gurr was happy to tell us about the effect it has already had.

Case Study:
Anglo Singapore International School
“As the school expanded, it became evident that we needed a much better system for documenting our students and their progress. Now 100% of our teaching staff, and nearly all of our administrators are inputting or accessing data and information into the MIS.”
“It’s helped us to achieve a much better understanding of each student’s learning progress. Now, through the WCBS Markbook programme, we have access to advanced calculations.”
Case Study:
Oakwood Preparatory School
“We most urgently needed something to support our academic and administration data management.
We also needed to update our finance and accounting system which was old.”
“So, we agreed to invest in a reputable MIS brand to ensure sustainability and optimum use.”
“Now that the data is integrated, there is much less manual intervention required for maintaining the data records.”
Moving to passFINANCE has been the best transition ever. The best bit: review date and admissions checks as well as being able to sort your front screen according to the place status.
Abbotsholme School
WCBS support team are large enough to have a diverse and detailed knowledge base, but small enough so that schools can build up a relationship with key individuals and understand the context of the problem without having to ask basic questions.
The Queens School, Chester
We are constantly finding out things that we can do through passFINANCE to make the school run more smoothly. The support from the helpline is very good.

Case Study:
HD Ningbo School
宁波鄞州赫德实验学校

I have always received friendly and knowledgeable advice whenever I have a query. The courses WCBS run are really useful, especially when done at headquarters and you can chat to other users.
Dawn Williams, Accounts Clerk
St Mary’s School, Shaftesbury
passFINANCE continues to run well for us and is the easiest of the systems that I manage on a daily basis as it requires so little intervention and the move to RTI went very smoothly. We are very satisfied and with the support that WCBS give us.

“Access to key information via the Management Information System is absolutely integral to the working of the whole school. We operate over a very extensive campus, so we need instant access to critical information, wherever staff might be and at any time.”
“The extent of the information available helps teachingstaff to build relationships with pupils.”
“It [the MIS] is totally fl exible and can be customised to deliver exactly what the individual wants.”
Truro High is really pleased with WCBS as it has improved our internal processes and means that information is more accessible for both teaching and support staff.
