Empowering schools with a flexible, cost-effective, and easy-to-use MIS
Juniper Education is proud to announce the launch of its new Management Information System (MIS), a fresh alternative designed to address the specific needs of UK schools. Initially being launched to primary schools already using Juniper’s Sonar Tracker assessment solution, this new MIS is set to reshape how schools manage their data, streamline operations, and make informed decisions—all while offering the freedom, flexibility, and support that today’s schools need.
A bold approach to MIS
Many headteachers have expressed frustration with the limitations of current MIS solutions, from being locked into multi-year contracts to paying for unnecessary features. As highlighted in a letter to headteachers, Juniper’s CEO, Chris Scarth, explains:
"SIMS has rightly been criticised for its limitations…Unfortunately, the new MIS providers are following a very similar path. At Juniper, we believe schools deserve better. Our new MIS provides a real alternative— one that is simpler, more adaptable, and built for modern education."
Key features of the Juniper MIS include:
- 90-day rolling contracts with no long-term lock-ins.
- A price promise ensuring schools never pay twice for duplicated functionality.
- Seamless integration with specialist education tools such as safeguarding.
- A focus on core MIS needs, simplifying the transition process for schools.
Designed for flexibility and cloud integration
Unlike legacy systems that fail to fully embrace the cloud, Juniper’s MIS is designed to integrate seamlessly with cloud-based systems, ensuring schools can benefit from the latest technology without sacrificing control or flexibility. Juniper’s goal is to provide schools with an MIS that adapts to their needs—whether they require tight integration with specialist tools or a streamlined approach to school management.
Join up with Juniper
Juniper Education believes in "joining the dots" to help schools solve their most pressing challenges. As a trusted partner to over 14,000 schools, Juniper’s mission is to provide the tools and expertise that empower educators to lead with confidence without the administrative burden often associated with traditional MIS solutions.
Looking ahead
Juniper Education will launch this new solution to the wider education market in 2025 at the prestigious BETT 2025 event, where they will be exhibiting for the first time. The event will showcase the full market launch of Juniper MIS, designed to cater to both primary and secondary phases of education.
