Stronger Data Security
With all school data held within one integrated, ISO 27001 compliant ecosystem, you eliminate the security risks created when sensitive pupil and financial data passes between multiple third-party platforms. Role-based access controls and audit logs are consistent across every module.
Simpler, Faster Support
One helpdesk team who understand your entire setup — your MIS, your finance system and your infrastructure. No more being passed between suppliers or explaining your school’s configuration from scratch every time you call.
Real-Time Insight Across School & Finance
Governors and senior leaders get a joined-up view of pupil outcomes alongside financial performance — making it easier to make evidence-based decisions and meet DfE reporting requirements with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a school MIS system and why does it matter?
A school Management Information System (MIS) is the core software platform schools use to manage pupil records, attendance, assessments, communications and statutory reporting. A good school MIS system is the operational backbone of the school — and integrating it with your financial management software means fewer errors, less duplication and better insight for leaders.
What are the benefits of using one supplier for MIS and finance?
Using a single supplier for your school MIS and financial management software eliminates the security vulnerabilities that come from data moving between separate platforms. It also means one support team understands your complete setup, integration is native rather than bolt-on, and you have a single point of contact for contracts and renewals — saving time and reducing risk.
Can Furlong support multi-academy trusts and groups as well as individual schools?
Yes. Furlong’s unified MIS and finance solution is built to scale across multi-academy trusts, providing trust-level reporting and governance dashboards alongside individual school management. Centralised procurement also makes cost management significantly simpler for MAT finance leads.
How does switching school MIS systems work — will we lose data?
Furlong’s migration team handles the transition from your existing MIS with a structured, tested process designed to ensure data integrity throughout. We work to your school calendar to minimise disruption and provide full staff training before go-live.
Is Furlong’s school software ISO-27001 compliant?
Furlong is ISO 27001 certified, meaning our entire platform, MIS and financial management, is built on a framework of internationally recognised information security standards. Data is held on UK-based servers, access is role-controlled and audit trails are maintained across all systems, giving your school confidence that sensitive pupil and financial data is always protected to the highest standard.
