Another Welsh Authority has decided to move its schools away from ESS SIMS.
Rhondda Cynon Taf have chosen Bromcom to provide the new MIS for all 111 of their schools, to modernise data management and communication tools for staff, students and parents.
Bromcom announced the news just last week and yesterday (19th February) they were on-site presenting their MIS to around 150 primary school leaders from across the local authority who will soon be using the Bromcom MIS platform.
The transition marks a significant step forward for education technology in the area, replacing legacy systems that have been in place for decades. The move follows Bromcom’s success in Northern Ireland and solidifies its position as a leading MIS provider in the UK with three of the four Welsh councils who are moving away from the incumbent MIS having chosen Bromcom.
All 111 schools across Rhondda will migrate to Bromcom’s MIS by the start of the 2025 academic year, with migrations beginning by the end of this term.
Importantly, the system supports bilingual access, ensuring both English and Welsh-speaking users can fully engage with the platform freely and easily.
A Member for Education at Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, commented:
“Rhondda Cynon Taf and our supported schools are pleased to be partnering with Bromcom, switching to their Management Information System (MIS) in this academic year.
This change aims to improve how schools and the LA handle student data, enhancing communication between staff, students, and parents.
The new system will streamline administrative tasks and support student success. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and are excited about the positive impact this will have on our pupils and schools.”
