The right information, to the right person, at the right time.
Free Primary MIS
Our free MIS puts your budget where it belongs
Juniper MIS gives primary schools everything they need to meet statutory data and compliance requirements without charging you for storing your own data, or for completing the returns that you have to do anyway. It's the core of the free JoinUp platform, so your investment can go where it actually drives real and continuous school improvement.
How our MIS Supports Your School Improvement Plan
The Foundation of Your Improvement Plan
Juniper MIS is the Operational Management foundation of the JoinUp platform. By covering statutory essentials at no cost, it frees up your technology budget to invest in the products and services that genuinely support meaningful school improvement.
The False Choice
Schools are often forced to choose between an all-in-one MIS and a patchwork of specialist tools. Yet many schools use only 40% of the functionality in an all-in-one MIS, while still paying for additional products to support school improvement.
Juniper Primary MIS changes the equation. Our free statutory MIS lets you invest in the specialist products and services that matter most, giving everyone the right information, at the right time, and helping improve outcomes for pupils.
The Traditional MIS

Our MIS is free and gives you full statutory functionality, and seamlessly integrates the depth tools that you decide your school needs.

Pupil, Parent & Staff Record
One secure record for pupils, parents and staff, giving every role the right information, to the right person, at the right time.

Three reasons it's free - and what that means for you.
What Schools Tell Us
Schools tell us they use only 40% of the functionality in their MIS, yet still pay for specialist products to deliver the insight they need. That means paying twice while budgets remain under pressure.
Why we don't charge
Your MIS should provide a secure statutory foundation, not consume your technology budget. That's why Juniper Primary MIS is free. It manages core records, attendance and statutory returns while connecting seamlessly with specialist products and services.
What it means for you
Spend less on your MIS and more on school improvement. Invest in the products and services that support your priorities, giving every role the right information, to the right person, at the right time, and helping improve outcomes for pupils.
