SIMS Core Suite for Primary Schools

SIMS Core Suite is the central source for your primary school data – the point at which you collate, edit and analyse information, building a complete picture of every pupil.

See a full profile of your school through the activities of your pupils. The SIMS Core Suite delivers back accurate information you need to help actively manage your school and make real-time decisions based on evidence, not assumptions.

Schools tell us that by entering achievement and behaviour information directly into SIMS, they’ve saved over 370 hours (or ten weeks of admin time) the first year alone.

Key benefits

• Monitor behaviour, progress and AM and PM attendance
  Key data on individual attendance, progress, behaviour, achievements and Special Educational Needs is displayed on a single screen. Quick links to details can inform pupil/parent meetings and give you the complete picture
   
• Ensure your pupil records are up-to-date
  ‘Alerts’ remind you when pupils' records need updating
   
• Communicate efficiently
  Free up more time for the day job of teaching - send immediate messages straight to the right people, prepare quick letters home without searching for addresses, using the contact details already saved in SIMS. Staff stay in the loop via the SIMS Home Page Diary
   
• Save time by holding staff data centrally
  Professional details, qualifications and training information is held together and pulled through into School Workforce Census
   
• Reduce administration - compile statutory returns electronically
  Take the hard work out of a necessary task. Statutory returns are created and submitted straight from the data already saved in SIMS
   
• Comprehensive reports
  Get relevant data on persistent or unexplained absences, behaviour incidents, SEN Provision, and SEF all from a single source
   
• SIMS in the palm of your hand
  With SIMS Emerge, the SIMS ‘App’ from our partner Groupcall, teachers can access the latest pupil data such as attendance and behaviour, directly via an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad for anywhere access to SIMS

Imagine. A single information point that tells you everything you need to actively manage your school and perform your role effectively. Easily access vital information -  who keeps missing school, whether your Gifted and Talented Register reflects the demographics of your pupils, and whether bad behaviour always happens on Friday afternoons.

"The possibilities for enabling school development with SIMS seem almost limitless."
