Atturra wins five-year Haileybury deal for Scholarion

Atturra has signed a five-year contract with independent school Haileybury to deploy its Scholarion education software-as-a-service platform across the school's operations.

Implementation is expected to begin in March 2026, and the agreement is not material to Atturra's FY26 guidance.

Haileybury is one of Australia's largest independent schools, with physical and online campuses in Australia and China and total enrolments of more than 4,800 students.

Under the agreement, Haileybury will use Scholarion as an integrated student information system and enterprise platform, bringing together administrative and operational functions often spread across multiple products and databases.

Platform Scope

Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Scholarion is positioned as a cloud-native system designed to replace fragmented legacy systems.

Atturra says the platform provides a single system covering student lifecycle management, finance, human resources, compliance, communications, and analytics, and describes it as a secure solution.

Large schools have continued investing in integrated platforms as reporting, compliance, and operational demands grow. One approach has been consolidating student, staffing, and financial information into a single system to improve data consistency and reduce duplicate processes across campuses.

According to Atturra, Haileybury participated in co-designing Scholarion alongside other schools, helping shape the product for school environments.

Education Focus

The Haileybury deal builds on earlier Scholarion deployments at other Australian schools. Atturra lists Brisbane Grammar, Toowoomba Grammar, Trinity Grammar in Kew, Newington College, and Brighton Grammar among existing customers.

Atturra described Haileybury as strategically significant due to the school's size and operational complexity, and said the project is expected to serve as a reference point for further work in the education sector.

"Haileybury's adoption of Scholarion reinforces the platform's maturity, scalability and relevance across large, complex school environments," said Stephen Kowal, Chief Executive Officer, Atturra.

"This momentum reflects Atturra's strategy to deliver secure, enterprise-ready digital platforms that create long-term value for the education sector," he said.

Company Context

Atturra is an ASX-listed technology services business spanning enterprise advisory, consulting, and IT services and solutions. It focuses on sectors including local government, utilities, education, defence, federal government, financial services, and manufacturing.

It also partners with global technology providers, including Microsoft. Scholarion's use of Dynamics 365 places it within the Microsoft business applications ecosystem, which includes customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning tools.

Atturra's focus on a unified system aligns with broader digital modernisation trends, with organisations reviewing older on-premises systems and point solutions and moving towards cloud-based products that combine functions such as finance, workforce management, and reporting in fewer applications.

For schools, the operational scope described by Atturra spans academic administration and corporate services. Student information systems typically handle enrolments, attendance, timetables, reporting, and communications with families. Bringing these functions closer to finance and HR systems can reduce manual reconciliation, although it can increase the scale of change management for staff.

The timetable indicates a lead-in period ahead of the March 2026 start. Large, multi-campus deployments can involve data migration, integration with existing learning and communications tools, and workflow redesign across administrative teams.

Atturra has not disclosed the contract value or whether Haileybury will deploy the platform across all campuses in Australia and China, or in phases.

The project adds another large independent school to Scholarion's customer list as Atturra expands its education software footprint through multi-year platform agreements.
