We use a number of external assessment systems like the CEM Centre's ALIS, MIDYIS and YELLIS testing, along with GL PTE and PTM scores.
When we export data into those systems we include the iSAMS SchoolID so that when we want to import results into iSAMS it should be easier. Unfortunately when the SchoolID starts with a zero it tends to get lost between the systems, making it harder to map the pupils and resulting in a lot of unnecessary work.
Going forward it would be great if SchoolID could be prevented from starting with a zero so that spreadsheets and data systems do not remove the zero. I recognise it's not feasible to do this retrospectively to existing students.
