RM to handle pupil data

You boy

RM Plc has been awarded a £16m extension on its contract to process pupil performance data for the Department for Education and Skills.

The contract, which will run for five years, consolidates three previous arrangements under one consortium, headed by RM.

The consortium includes RM data management subsidiary, Forvus. Other consortium members are the LEAP SERAP Group of the University of Bath and the Fischer Family Trust, which is run by RM founder and lifelong president Mike Fischer CBE.

RM held the previous contract for 10 years.®
