Information systems

In today's challenging environment you may need extra support to allow you to focus on what really matters - the children. 

SIMS

SIMS from Capita is the market-leading management information system, currently supporting in excess of 21,000 schools in the UK and abroad.

Working in partnership with schools and academies we help them use one of their most valuable assets – information – to drive efficiency and effectiveness across the school.

We understand how the optimisation of this information can directly support the effective delivery of your school objectives and the implementation of your school improvement programme by:

  • Ensuring key data across the school is collected efficiently
  • Identifying development priorities where resources need to be allocated
  • Driving the planning and implementation process to deliver improvement .

Using SIMS supports schools in: 

  • Freeing teams to tackle underachievement – personalised learning supported by effective pupil tracking.
  • Protecting vulnerable groups – enabling teachers to understand and record the needs and track the progress of each and every child.
  • Helping teams to manage poor attendance – monitoring lesson attendance in real-time with individual events and overall trends highlighted immediately. 
  • Changing inappropriate behaviour – by entering and tracking positive and/or negative behaviours and facilitating interventions.
  • Lightening staff workload – reducing administration and freeing teachers’ capacity.
  • Cooperating to deliver the 14-19 agenda – allowing essential data, from diet, to special needs, from attendance to attainment, to be shared in real time between all the partners.
