SIMS IEP Writer for Academies

Every day, teachers across the country use the SIMS Individual Education Plan (IEP) Writer to provide learning support that is tailored to the individual needs of each pupil. Intuitive and easy to use, IEP Writer helps them create effective plans including realistic learning targets that challenge gifted pupils and encourage those with different abilities to achieve more.

No two children learn in the same way or progress at the same pace. Ensuring every one of your pupils reaches their full potential is of paramount importance.

SIMS IEP Writer helps make that potential a much easier reality by facilitating individual plans, set out simply so they can easily be followed by pupils, allowing them to take more responsibility for their progress through every stage of their education.
