As a result of installing Radun's Card System (Sentinel e-registration), we have saved 10 minutes per day "dead" classroom administration time, which we have converted into real teaching time. Over a year that amounts to about one-and-a-quarter weeks more teaching for every one of our students.

On becoming a Technology College, the school management decided that a swipe card system of registration would be of benefit to both students and staff not only from the point of view of tracking students more accurately during the day but also in terms of raising the profile of technology in the College and. After considerable research we decided upon the Sentinel system.
Radun Controls installed the system during the summer holidays in order to minimise the disruption caused. The installation team was very efficient and friendly and left the site in good condition. The system has proved to be totally reliable with all hardware performing to expectations. The software reports the whereabouts of all students and is used to prepare a number of reports for form tutors and teaching staff. The only weakness of the system is the time that it takes to calculate absences. However this is gradually improving as students and staff become more accustomed to the system. The after sale support provided by the company has been excellent. Same day fixing of problems and changes to the system are the norm, even when the school wanted to change the timetable structure at the beginning of June! In all our dealings with Radun, the service provided has been fast, friendly and efficient.

Soon after installing the Sentinel system our absence figures unexpectedly increased. We soon realised that it wasn’t because more children were absent, it was because Sentinel had reduced the degree of error in attendance monitoring and had highlighted the true figures. Now we are happy to say that by working alongside the system, our unauthorised absence figures have reduced significantly.

Our Sentinel System allows us to monitor the attendance of over 5,000 students. It is a valuable tool in determining whether the students satisfy their attendance criteria for payment of bursary, for registering their enrolment on any subject in a completely modular system, for identifying students who may need support and for measuring room utilisation. The data is collected in the simplest way possible - by a single swipe of a card from the student. Because the data is stored in the PC in a standard database format, it can be easily imported into our colleges M.I.S. System.

JPS installed the Sentinel e-registration Electronic Registration System in September 1993. Since that time our relationship with Radun has been excellent, they have responded to our needs quickly and professionally. The system has brought many benefits to the school, the least of which is the ability to locate staff and students within seconds.
