The Wasted Millions on Traditional
UK School Pre-admissions

It’s time to digitise, streamline and automate

UK-School-Pre-Admissions-infographic
Traditional, resource-intensive pre-admissions take hours to complete, sheet after sheet of paper, and a huge team of administrators which all costs money. Estimates indicate that government schools across England spend a staggering £50 million on the administrative costs associated with processing just the paper-based elements of pre-admissions applications. Then, there’s the time and expense of chasing parents, manual data entry, student induction and more.
So, the frightening facts we do know are merely the tip of a very large, very inefficient iceberg. Traditional and inefficient pre-admissions processes need to move with the times.
But, there is a better way…

6 reasons to watch

With Operoo, you can automate your school’s most important pre-admission processes: From data wrangling and communicating with prospective families, to collecting forms and on-boarding new students. Remove the frustration, inefficiency and cost associated with your student pre-admissions process.
Watch this education technology webinar and discover how to:

1. Establish a single & secure source of truth for important pre-admissions data

Better yet, make that data instantly accessible to all authorised staff anywhere, anytime and on any device.

Dynamic Group Management
Parents-Communication

2. Seamlessly Communicate with Pre-Admitted Families

Send automated, group and personalised digital communications to parents of pre-admitted students – based on the timing and nature of the information supplied throughout the pre-admissions process – with zero manual effort and without adding and removing data from SIMS.

3. Don’t Chase Another Paper Form Again

Easily create, distribute and collect all admission forms digitally. Zero phone calls or pieces of paper. Collect vital student data quickly and painlessly, including dietary requirements, emergency and medical information. And, set automated reminders to follow-up with non-respondents (at a regular cadence of your choosing) so that you don’t have to.

4. Automatically Sync Data to SIMS Upon Acceptance

Once students progress from pre-admission status, automatically create a student record in SIMS and sync accross all dietary and medical data upon acceptance – without any manual intervention, data entry or data matching required. Save time, reduce risk and information handling errors.

5. Trigger Student On-boarding Upon Enrolment

Programmatically trigger all new student on-boarding requests upon enrolment – so there’s never a bottleneck in your student registrations – with best practice digital templates for Pupil Premium Applications, Home School Agreements, Free School Meal Forms, School Trip Permissions and everything in-between.
