The information needs of all schools and of Education, Culture and Sport have become increasingly more complex. We need a managment information system that can support our requirements into the future.
What is e¹?
e¹ is a web-based system that delivers the information and the functionality to manage all areas of school operations, administration, resources and activities efficiently. e¹ is not only for admin but has been designed to be used across the whole school community. It retains all the key user capabilities of Gold but with additional features. Although it will look a little different to Gold, it is intuitive to use. More information on the functionality and benefits of Phoenix e¹ is contained in this brochure.
What are the benefits of e¹?
There are obvious benefits to the fact that e¹ is web-based rather than being run on each school’s local system. It enables anywhere, anytime secure access from outside school – from any device that can access the internet via a true browser, by anyone who is given permission. Within the school, it can also be accessed from any computer connected to the internet. This now means that users can get information that is as up-to-date as possible (in real time).
How will e¹ be implemented in Highland?
A project is underway to meet the Service’s management information needs through Phoenix e¹. In order to manage implementation more effectively, there will be two consecutive projects.
Project 1 will upgrade all current users in Primary, Secondary and Special Schools to e¹. The objective is to implement the system in a standardised way in order to improve the information that can be obtained from it across all schools. This means standard codes, reports and ways of using the system. Project 1 will also specify and develop the requirements for pupil tracking within e¹. Another key area is meeting the requirements of Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) in terms of electronic data sharing and records. This will include named individuals such as Head Teachers being able to access secure data from Social Work in relation to vulnerable children where there is joint involvement.
Project 2 will produce full implementation of the pupil tracking and GIRFEC requirements. It will involve developing and adapting the system to meet Service needs. It will also extend secure, controlled access to the system, beyond current Phoenix Gold users, to class teachers, pupils, parents/carers and all other potential users within the Service.
