The challenge
Finding a comprehensive school management system to support the school's approach to learning
Kingsmead College faced the challenge of accommodating diverse student interests and talents while striving for academic excellence. The school believes in recognising each child's unique potential and fostering an inclusive environment. However, it needed a more efficient and comprehensive school management information system to support its approach to education.
"We believe here that every child has their own potential – there’s always a place for you whether you are good at sports, academic subjects, music or whatever your talents"
Lora Foot, Director of Education Technology, Kingsmead College, South Africa
The solution
Implementing Engage school MIS has improved the understanding of individual students
Kingsmead College implemented our Engage school management information system holistic all-in-one solution to address its challenges. Engage from Education Horizons has empowered the school to understand more detailed information about its students and improve their performance. The system facilitates detailed personal academic record keeping with high performance parent engagement and communications - alongside much, much more. The school easily completed onboarding, benefiting from remote training and user-friendly manuals.
"We always want evidence of what we are doing and that’s why we chose to change our school management information system. Engage empowers us to be able to analyse our students to a higher level so that we can improve our performance."

The results
Engage MIS improved school organisation, increased efficiency and streamlined parent communication
By implementing Engage, Kingsmead College has improved the organisation and efficiency in many areas of its school operations. The school has streamlined the distribution of academic reports through the Parent Portal, rather than via email; this centralised approach eliminates the need for duplicate requests from parents, as all reports are readily accessible in one place.
The successful adoption of Engage has enabled Kingsmead College to enhance its educational practices, support individualised learning and continuously strive for excellence.
"We can do things in a much more organised way with Engage. There’s so much potential in it and it’s been great that the development team listens to our comments and incorporates improvements specifically for South African schools – that’s a huge plus"
Lora Foot, Director of Education Technology, Kingsmead College, South Africa
