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.
Paul Foster, IT Director
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!
Fiona Lister, Accountant
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.

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”
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.
Andrew Johnson, Database Administrator
Clayesmore School
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.

Case Study:
HD Ningbo School
宁波鄞州赫德实验学校
“Here at HD Ningbo, we are taking a different approach; focusing on every individual student’s learning progress. Our use of WCBS school information management software is supporting us in this approach.”
“What we have with WCBS is a data spine with effective, compatible plug-ins and in a system that is bilingual; Chinese and English.”
“The WCBS technology has not only provided clarity of data tracking, more importantly, it has prompted communication amongst the faculty.”
Case Study:
Bishop’s Stortford College
“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.
