Bases

Ensure your staff are working with the most accurate and up to date information about the establishments in your Local Authority.

No more wasted effort

Accurate information on an authority’s schools, pupil referral units and other establishments, including schools in other LAs, ensures greater efficiency across Children’s Services.

Eliminate duplication

By maintaining core information about all sites, a range of authority-wide processes, services and support can be made more efficient.

• Utilise information with confidence in everyday practices
  • Maintain an accurate record of core data for all sites, such as addresses, opening times or contact details for key holders
  • Maintain geographical data for all sites to support authority wide services such as admissions, transport or governor support
     
• Comprehensive, single view for all staff
  • Maintain additional information, such as pupil intake numbers, term dates, names of headteachers and clerk/chair of the governing body and LA support officers for the school
  • Eliminate the need for multiple databases or records to be maintained across the authority
  • Same data used by all staff accessing the One database
     
• 24-7 access wherever and whenever you need it
  • Field-based practitioners can quickly access key contact or other information from any internet-enabled PC with a secure login and password
  • Online access provides schools with an efficient way of ensuring all their core data is current and accurate
  • Authority wide access to a single, accurate source of information

Processes across the One product suite, such as those relating to admissions and transfers, training, governors, personnel or transport, are supported by One Bases, which provides a single, accurate source of information that will be used by multiple staff on multiple tasks.

By eliminating the need to maintain multiple databases of core information, One Bases increases productivity and efficiency, whilst eliminating the higher risks of error and inaccuracy associated with duplicated effort and multiple data entry.

By categorizing data in numerous ways, the software saves time when staff prepare statutory returns and reports.

One Bases:

• Statutory returns are easier to complete because Bases can be classified as belonging to a category which is defined by the LA but can also map to categories required by the DfE
• Split sites can be recorded against a single base, detailing individual address, contact and location details
• Identifies which gates on specific sites are used as entrances to provide accurate information for home to school routes for transport and distance measurements for admissions and transport eligibility
• Default term dates and opening times across all sites can be set once, with additional flexibility to make minor variations where required on a site-by-site basis
• Key contacts across the LA can be recorded for each site, along with information about the core contacts within the site
