SRS : Foundation is a web-based Tracking and Reporting Suite for pupils at the Foundation Stage. It is easy to use and enables teachers and parents to participate in the reporting process at any time, from any location, over the internet. Additionally, SRS : Foundation simplifies the tracking process, saving teacher time and increasing school efficiency.
It's easy. Every user simply goes to a web page called: their-school-name.schoolreports.eu and logs on with a user name and password provided by the school IT coordinator.
No. We'll host SRS : Foundation for you on one of our dedicated, secure machines, removing the need for you to worry about the 'back end' aspects.
No. If you can use a computer and are happy logging on to the internet, SRS : Foundation should be intuitive to use on a day-to-day basis.
The System Administrator (usually your school IT Coordinator) who sets up and customises SRS : Foundation for your school requires slightly more confidence with computers, but he or she should already have all the knowledge required. There's a detailed Manual and the cost includes 12 months support to make sure you are getting the best out of the system.

SRS : Foundation consists of two modules ATS (the Annual Tracking System) and ARS (the Annual Reporting System). Both ATS and ARS are excellent generators of detailed data on pupil performance which can be easily viewed as a chart.
Over the internet. All they need is a password and user name from the school β it's as easy as logging on to an email account.
Easy-to-read bar charts showing pupil, class, year group and school progress.
Don't worry. If you have spread sheet files (such as Access and Excel) your old reporting data can be quickly and simply up-loaded into SRS : Foundation.
Not at all. We'll host it for you, so there are no installation worries. Configuring SRS : Foundation to your particular needs should only take a couple of hours, and of course we're here to help if you need us. Once installed, using the system is so simple and intuitive that it really doesn't require training.

SRS : Foundation is designed as a modular system so it's flexible, future-friendly and easily adaptable to school and Government changes.
No. You simply in-put your reporting data.
No. School Management Systems are for school management, SRS : Foundation is all about tracking and reporting. But it will incorporate some of the data in your management system (such as pupil names) so that data doesn't have to be entered twice.
SRS : Foundation was developed by the Compubits Group after one of it's directors, who's married to a primary school teacher, saw how much time his wife spent compiling reports. Compubits has supplied IT products to schools for over 15 years and web-based information management systems to world-leading corporations for over 10 years.

SRS : Foundation is remarkably cost effective. Please see the Prices page.
You need both SRS : Foundation for the foundation pupils, SRS : Primary for Key Stages 1 and 2 and SRS : Secondary for Key Stages 3 and 4 β but don't worry there's a discount scheme for schools buying more than one SRS product at the same time. Please see the Prices page.
No, because the underlying databases and reporting requirements are different. But the 'look and feel' of all three products is similar, so (for example) a head teacher reviewing performance on SRS : Foundation would be immediately familiar with SRS : Secondary.
There's a free online demo of SRS : Primary on the SRS : Primary pages β you'll need to email us so we can set you up with a username and password (philip@compubits.com).
