Case Study Emerge


Instantly streamlining school efficiencies The Angmering School, located in Angmering, West Sussex is a specialist Sports and Science College which caters for mixed learners aged between 11-18 years. Marc Ginnaw IT Manager explains the benefits of Groupcall’s Emerge for the school.


Convenience at hand I first encountered Groupcall Emerge aer seeking a new handheld soluon for register taking. We are currently using Groupcall Emerge for registraon in both the morning and aernoon and also for registraon during periods one to five and this has had a significantly posive impact. In PE lessons for example, taking registers outside on the field is impraccal and inconvenient for the teacher. The logiscs of carrying out and marking students via paper-based registers can be difficult, parcularly in disagreeable weather condions and being located near the coast we are oen familiar with this! Therefore, the ability to conduct registraon via a handheld device is excellent!


Groupcall’s Emerge parcularly appealed due to immediately being user-friendly; it presented a fast and simple soluon. I was instantly able to recognise its benefits for real-me registering, something we were restricted in compleng due to digital registers not being taken regularly. However, Emerge solves this problem as it provides up-to-date and accurate informaon, and with parents now logging on from home to view their child’s aendance and academic informaon, there is a greater need to ensure the details they access are up-to-date.


Time spent on administraon tasks is reduced hugely as Emerge provides support in terms of being able to provide staff with immediate informaon regarding student metables. The need to physically search for a student across the school is removed; all that staff need do is search on the handheld device to locate the person in queson.


The emerging future I can see Emerge will be parcularly useful for off-site visits where there can oen be a requirement for instant access to student’s personal informaon, such as medical data. For example, should a student fall ill and require possible medical aenon, the power of being able to immediately find these details regarding possible allergies is huge. Planning for off-site trips is me-consuming, yet with Emerge providing this informaon in a hand-held device, the teacher’s workload can be reduced through not needing to compile a student file prior to each school trip. The result is a far more efficient and faster process and means staff me can be beer spent on acvity planning, for example. Processes can further be facilitated through staff members not needing to manually enter informaon taken from a paper-based register. Emerge has proven extremely useful for registraon and we’ve been parcularly impressed with its ability to automacally update to the MIS when back within wireless range; a me-saving posive for all teachers.
