The JoinUp with Juniper Philosophy
A flexible, connected approach to drive 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
By connecting people, systems and services, we ensure that school staff and leaders can focus on delivering the best possible outcomes for every child. This is why we've launched JoinUp with Juniper, our new approach to helping schools evaluate performance and drive continuous improvement.
What's included in the JoinUp Platform
Juniper MIS
Juniper MIS provides primary schools with everything they need to meet statutory data and compliance requirements. We believe schools should invest in the products and services that drive improvement.
CommsHub
In many schools, communication is fragmented - staff announcements here, parent messages there, pupil notifications elsewhere. This complexity wastes time and creates confusion.
CommsHub provides a single space for all school communications, ensuring information flows seamlessly and nothing gets lost in the gaps.
Juniper Education App
Keep families informed, engaged and connected. Our parent app provides a joined-up view of attendance, updates and achievements - giving parents a trusted window into school life.
Portal
Centralises your user management across all applications with single sign-on and two-factor authentication for complete peace of mind.
Connected systems. Actionable insights. Confident improvements.
JoinUp isn’t about adding more technology - it’s about turning everyday activity into joined-up evidence that moves SIPs forward. By connecting people, systems and services behind the scenes, JoinUp gives leaders clear insight into what’s working, what needs attention and where to act next.
The result is focused improvement, earlier intervention and the confidence for staff to spend less time interpreting data — and more time improving teaching, learning and wellbeing.
JoinUp supports every part of your school improvement journey

Performance Based Evidence
Clearly evidence the quality of your teaching, pupil behaviour and attitudes.
Purposeful Action
Act on insights to drive improvements towards pupil and teacher development through early interventions

Complete Transparency & Visibility
SLT has full visibility to review insights and proactively drive performance.
Cost Reduction
Provides a cost-effective solution through the utilisation of a free statutory MIS and a reduction in shelfware.

Scalable & Adaptable Choice
A flexible and modular alternative to a rigid, shallow all-in-one solution.
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
