The JoinUp with Juniper Philosophy
A flexible, connected approach to driving school improvement
JoinUp is Juniper Education's free centralised platform that connects what matters; people, systems and services

We believe sustainable school improvement starts with what matters most; children and young people
Designed around the real pressures schools face, JoinUp brings together trusted, best-in-class technology with expert support to help school's work more cohesively. By connecting the people, systems and services that matter, JoinUp provides clear, reliable evidence to support SIPs and SEFs, ensuring priorities are visible, progress is measurable, and nothing falls through the gaps.
THE CHALLENGE
Shallow all-in-one MIS, or fragmented systems
Today’s schools face mounting pressures: persistent absence, behaviour challenges, increasing SEND demand, staff burnout and rising expectations. Yet these critical issues are often managed through a patchwork of disconnected tools and processes or shallow all-in-one MIS solutions.
Leaders are left stitching together partial data, reacting to crises, and carrying the weight of improvement without the clarity they need. Staff feel the burden of systems that are busy, but not truly joined-up, and pupils feel the effects of inconsistency.
The JoinUp philosophy exists to change this. By connecting the people, systems and services that matter, we give schools the visibility and confidence they need to drive meaningful, sustainable improvement.

What's included in the JoinUp Platform?
Our free centralised platform consists of four core applications which support you on your school improvement journey
Juniper MIS
Juniper MIS provides primary schools with everything they need to meet statutory data and compliance requirements, without charging for the operational storing of data or completing returns. We believe schools should invest in products and services that drive improvement and not pay twice to input their data.
Juniper Portal
Centralise your user management access all applications with single sign-on and two-factor authentication for complete peace of mind.
CommsHub
Keep everyone informed and engaged through one central hub for all messaging accessed the JoinUp Platform.
Juniper Education App
The Juniper Education App supports teachers in and around the school, as well as connecting with families at home.

Our JoinUp platform includes a free MIS
Schools shouldn't have to pay thousands a year to enter their data twice. Since we capture statutory data in other products we have made our MIS free to eligible customers.
Reinvest these funds into the technology and services that truly drive school improvement.

Currently schools face two choices for educational systems and services
Complicated, shallow and expensive ‘all-in-one’ MIS systems
Fragmented system subscriptions, services and support
But there is another way
