SIMS Partnership Xchange for Academies

SIMS Partnership Xchange allows academies to collaborate with other academies or colleges using secure data transfer technologies. Developed in partnership with pilot schools, SIMS Partnership Xchange is a proven, real world solution to ease the burden on teachers, coordinators and management teams and to protect student, parent and regulatory support for their efforts.

By providing access to student data across multi-centre study sites, SIMS Partnership Xchange makes sure all those teaching your students have the vital information they need – academic, behavioural, social and medical – at their fingertips.

Attendance and assessment marks are added from wherever the learner is studying and will combine to form a single report of progress for learners and their parents.

Key benefits

• Make student data available to other academies or colleges the student will attend
  Make contact details and medical, dietary, academic or special needs information available to other academies. A student’s central academy will be provided with attendance information on whether the pupil attended the lesson off-site
   
• Simplify duty of care
  Retain responsibility once a student leaves your academy gate by sharing, monitoring and acting upon attendance, behavioural and performance information within the partnership
   
• Simplify administrative processes
  Information is available instantly within SIMS so staff won’t need to chase other academies/schools for information on attendance and progress
   
• Fulfil data protection and privacy needs
  Privacy settings restrict student records to authorised parties, only,  sharing data about students that other academies/schools have a legitimate right to see
   
• Reporting to parents
  Student performance records from all sites can be collated so the ‘home academy’ can provide parents with accurate and complete student reports

Offering an alternative curriculum has the potential to deliver more motivated students to your classroom, but will they bring more administration, more interruptions and more demands for data with them? It doesn’t have to be that way with SIMS Partnership Xchange.
