Hello Ben,
There's a great Free Software MIS developed at Skegness Grammar School
by Garry Saddington. He's looking for beta testers, so let me know if
you're interested, and I'll send you his e-mail address off-list.
The app is called ScholarPack, and is Zope/PostgreSQL-based. It imports
data from SIMS, and I think it can export too.
