One school record.
Wellbeing already inside it.
Phoenix Nest is the management information system (MIS) PECTECH is designing next — built on the same pupil record Phoenix Ember already keeps for 40+ schools, not a separate system that has to be synced with it.
Not a second system
Nest starts from the record Ember schools already have.
Every Phoenix Ember school is already building a pupil record — assessments, interventions, Individual Support Plans (ISPs), the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) history. Nest adds the rest of what an MIS covers around that same record, on the same tenant. For an existing Ember school, moving to Nest is designed to be a module change, not a migration: the wellbeing and SEND history that's already there stays exactly where it is.
That is also why this page doesn't promise a launch date beyond “2027” or a feature list beyond what's below — Nest is still in design, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress up a placeholder.
Specced so far
The domains in scope for the MIS build.
Names, not promises — this is where the spec has drawn module boundaries so far, before any of it is built. Subject to change.
Modules, not tiers of feature
The record and every statutory duty are never behind a module.
Modules add workflow depth and experience on top — never a school's ability to meet a duty it already has.
Core
The pupil record and every statutory duty. The timetable solver, the single central record, the funding entitlement record — none of it sits behind a module.
Chorus
Parent-facing experience: communications, portal, homework, parents’ evening, clubs.
Keep
Money and operations: payments, dinner money, catering, finance, HR depth, estates, budgeting.
Nest is held to the same six principles as everything else PECTECH builds.
Per-institution pricing. Every feature unlocked from day one. Your data out the door whenever you want it. A public roadmap. Built with the people who'll use it. Modern, by design — no different for the MIS than it is for the wellbeing tracker.

We're designing Nest with the schools who'll run their whole MIS on it — not only the wellbeing layer. If that's you, we'd like to hear from you before the build starts.
