Collaboration Between Schools and Supplier Award – in conjunction with Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust (DCAT)

DCAT, a rapidly expanding Multi-Academy Trust comprising 22 schools, has a longstanding partnership with Strictly Education. They have implemented ‘EduPeople’, Strictly’s modular system designed to manage HR, payroll and pensions.

Together, we embarked on a ground-breaking initiative to seamlessly integrate two pivotal data management systems across the trust. The outcome? A transformative solution that significantly boosted operational efficiencies, leading to savings of over half a working day per school solely on absence management administration.The collaboration has supported and enhanced the life of many staff and leaders at the Trust’s schools by simplifying processes, minimising time spent on data entry, and improving the evidence on which strategic decisions are based.

“My priority has always been to save our schools time,” says Stephen Barrett-Kinsley, COO at the Trust. “The EduPeople – Arbor MIS integration on absence management has certainly achieved that.”
