As the central source of your school data, SIMS Core Suite allows you to collate, edit and analyse information, helping you to build a complete picture of every pupil. See a full profile of your school through the activities of your pupils. SIMS Core Suite delivers the accurate information you need to manage your school and make real-time decisions based on evidence, not assumptions.
Why choose SIMS Core Suite?
Core SIMS provides you with access to vital, up-to-date information, such as who keeps missing school, whether your Gifted and Talented Register reflects your pupil demographics and when bad behaviour is most common. You'll be able to communicate efficiently by preparing quick letters home using the contact details already saved in SIMS and can save time on administration by entering achievement and behaviour information directly into SIMS.
