IMP Software has officially launched IMP Finance, a new financial management platform built from the ground up around the distinctive requirements of education finance teams in multi-academy trusts (MATs), independent schools, and further education (FE) colleges.

Chiefs notch up first victory of the season

Luke Cowan-Dickie led the way as Exeter Chiefs recorded their first Aviva Premiership victory of the season against visiting Harlequins.

Having suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of Wasps and defending champions Saracens, Rob Baxter’s side rediscovered their winning formula at the third time of asking.

Cornishman Cowan-Dickie (pictured) was the main headliner grabber, claiming a hat-trick of tries and producing an outstanding display that watching England forwards coach, Neal Hatley, will have duly noted with plenty of interest.

The in-form hooker was...

Tis positive despite defeat

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale highlighted the positive aspects of his side's play, despite losing 2-0 to Plymouth Argyle.

The Devon derby at St James Park saw City go down to first half goals from Graham Carey and Paul-Arnold Garita, in match where the Grecians hit the post through Lee Holmes and Robbie Simpson saw a first half header fly just over the crossbar.

Despite City's best efforts through the likes of Holmes, who returned from injury, as well as the impressive Jack Stacey at right back, they weren't able to break a resolute Pilgrims defence.

Rob Baxter acknowledges the pressure is on his Exeter Chiefs side, but insists it’s the same every week in the Aviva Premiership.

After back-to-back losses against Wasps and Saracens, Baxter’s men find themselves rooted to the foot of the table with just a solitary point to their name.

Tomorrow, however, they have the chance to get their season finally up and running when they welcome Harlequins to Sandy Park (3pm).

Head coach Baxter knows the Londoners will pose another creditable threat to his team, but he wants his troops to rise in battle and replicate the kind...

Exeter’s planned new state-of-the-art leisure complex in the city centre will be the greenest development of its kind anywhere in the country, the City Council has revealed.

St Sidwell’s Point, which will be at the heart of the redeveloped bus station site, will be Britain’s first Passivhaus leisure centre.

That means it will be an ultra low energy building, saving at least 70 per cent on its energy costs – around £185,000 a year.

The centre’s three pools will also have exceptional water quality, with minimal chemical content.

Dollman absence will open the door for others

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed Phil Dollman will be sidelined for a number of weeks after it was revealed he broke his hand in last weekend’s Aviva Premiership clash with Saracens.

The 31-year-old full-back sustained the injury during the opening quarter of the game played at Sandy Park.

“The initial prognosis is that he’s going to be out for a little while – he may well require an operation,” said Baxter. “If he does he’ll have that very shortly, and then you’re talking about a six to eight week recovery period.”
