SIMS Assessment & Reporting Suite for Secondary Schools

The SIMS Assessment & Reporting Suite is the focal point for all of your assessment data, providing you with a highly structured and manageable system for assessing and tracking student progress.

An efficient way to record assessment data and make it work for you in target setting, tracking individual progress, reviewing group performance and reporting back to parents, senior managers and local authorities, the SIMS Assessment & Reporting Suite identifies vital links between attainment, attendance and behaviour, analyse trends, and focus on the progress of every child.

Schools using the suite report using SIMS Profiles for pupil report writing can save 30 minutes per pupil report—that’s 900 minutes per class of 30 pupils and 1,200 hours in a school of 80 staff working an eight hour day.

Key benefits

• Track your students’ progress
  Record predicted attainment, individual targets and termly assessments. ‘Traffic light’ colour coding reveals whether students are making good progress, falling behind or ‘stuck’, whilst student tracking grids display progress against school or national targets
   
• Customise tracking to suit your school
  Record any type of assessment where the result can be expressed in terms of a mark, grade, age or comment. Customise Marksheets to meet your school’s assessment policy (eg six-termly tracking) or to alter the predicted progress line
   
• Analyse performance by subject, group or time
  National progression lines are provided to enable comparisons between your school and national averages, at whole school, class or individual student level
   
• Take data analysis to a new level
  As a new upgrade to the Suite, SIMS Discover makes the job of interpreting the pupil information in SIMS even simpler as it presents the data in a highly visual way using Venn diagrams, bar charts and pie charts, making it far easier to spot where trends and connections exist
   
• Create full end of year student reports for parents
  Automatically compile professional interim student reports based upon recorded grades in Microsoft Word. Reports can then be stored in the student record for a complete and accessible history
   
• Get a complete picture of how students progress over time
  SIMS maintains a complete historical record of all assessments recorded over each student’s life in the school
   
• Manage the examination process
  Manage external and internal exams, including seating, results distribution and analysis
   
• Enable flexible working
  Teachers can enter the grades and comments over the internet at home via SIMS Learning Gateway
   
• Share student data around a Collegiate
  With the addition of SIMS Partnership Xchange, student data can be automatically and securely shared around a collegiate - to make sure all those teaching your students have the vital information they need -  academic, behavioural, social and medical - at their fingertips
   

To help students reach their full potential, you need to ensure every student knows how they are doing, what they need to do to improve and how they are going to get there. With the SIMS Assessment & Reporting Suite, you’ll save valuable time monitoring performance whilst gaining valuable interaction time with your students.
