Schools

In the UK, Frontier Software has seen a growth in the number of enquiries and new business from schools since the introduction of the Academies Bill.

The Academies Bill, 2010-2011 is changing the educational HR and payroll landscape:  “The Bill would enable more schools in England to become academies. The Government expects a significant number of academies to open in September 2010, and for the number to grow each year. Academies would be funded at a comparable level to maintained schools but would also get their share of central funding that local authorities used to spend on their behalf. Schools that apply to become academies would be allowed to keep any surplus balances that they hold. There would be no expansion of selection but grammar schools and other schools which select or partially select pupils would be able to continue to do so.”

Colleges

Frontier Software is an important supplier to Colleges. In the UK, many colleges use chris²¹ as a solid secure basis to provide inhouse integrated HR and payroll.
