Use a modular provider as your benchmark. Compass Education offers a wide module range, so you can map each requirement to a named function and see whether a platform covers it natively or relies on bolt-ons. Build a simple scoring grid: list your must-have features down one side, score each provider from one to five, and weight the categories that matter most to your setting. A large primary and a small independent will weight them differently, and that is the point.

Do not skip references. Ask to speak to schools of a similar size and structure, and ask them the awkward questions: what went wrong during setup, how responsive is support, and would they choose the same system again. The UK and Irish market has several established providers, so you have room to compare rather than settle.

None of these five questions guarantees a good outcome on their own, but a vendor unwilling or unable to answer any of them plainly before a contract is signed is worth treating as a warning sign, whatever the rest of the proposal looks like.

The cheapest headline price often is not the cheapest system to own. Ask for every cost in writing, model the full term, and compare providers on the total rather than the quote. That is the figure governors will ask about, so bring it to the table first.

Community and admissions rules deserve attention too. Faith schools frequently apply admissions criteria tied to the parish or the diocese, so the system should record the fields those criteria depend on and support the oversubscription process cleanly. If a platform cannot hold the data your admissions policy needs, the office ends up keeping a spreadsheet on the side, which defeats the purpose of a single system.
