Do not skip references. Ask to speak to schools of a similar size and structure, and ask them the awkward questions: what went wrong during setup, how responsive is support, and would they choose the same system again. The UK and Irish market has several established providers, so you have room to compare rather than settle.
Certification is the second, more concrete checkpoint. ISO 27001 is the recognised international standard for information security management, and a vendor holding current certification has had its security controls independently audited against that standard rather than simply asserting they are secure. For any part of a system handling payment data, such as fee billing or canteen top-ups, PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance is the equivalent standard specifically for payment card handling, and it is worth asking whether that certification covers the billing module directly rather than being described only at the level of the parent company.

Use a modular provider as your benchmark. Compass Education UK Education offers a wide module range, so you can map each requirement to a named function and see whether a platform covers it natively or relies on bolt-ons. Build a simple scoring grid: list your must-have features down one side, score each provider from one to five, and weight the categories that matter most to your setting. A large primary and a small independent will weight them differently, and that is the point.
Staff retraining is the part most often underestimated. A migration is not finished when the data lands; it is finished when the office can do its daily work confidently in the new platform. Plan sessions before go-live, give staff a safe practice environment, and name a few internal champions who can answer quick questions in the first weeks. A good provider supports this directly, so ask what onboarding and training a supplier such as Compass Education includes as standard rather than assuming it is extra.
None of this needs to become an exhaustive audit for every school, but a business manager or IT lead signing off on a cloud MIS contract should be able to answer, with evidence rather than assumption, where data is hosted and which certifications back that hosting. That is the baseline, not an optional extra.
