The future of SIMS is here
With 40 years of experience and a £50 million investment, we’re not just enhancing SIMS — we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.
SIMS Next Gen introduces a fresh new look and powerful cloud-based functionality, all while offering seamless access to your existing data. It works in harmony with SIMS7 to make life easier for every member of your school community.
Thousands of schools are using SIMS Next Gen functionality every day — streamlining tasks, reducing admin, and driving better outcomes across the board.
As part of this innovation programme, we’re also developing a brand-new centralised solution for Multi-Academy Trusts: SIMS Group Hub.
Explore your roadmap
We’ve created tailored roadmaps to show you what’s already available – and what’s coming next for your school or trust.
How we plan and prioritise
Our roadmaps are shaped by you. Through ongoing collaboration with schools, trusts, and school support units, we prioritise functionality that solves your biggest challenges — in the order that delivers the greatest impact.
What you’ll see in this roadmap are module-level releases. Alongside these, our dedicated teams work on user experience and workflow enhancements, delivering smaller updates every term. These updates ensure SIMS Next Gen continues to offer the most intuitive and effective MIS experience in the industry.
As with all agile development, this roadmap reflects our current plans. Some modules may launch in a different order as we test, refine, and respond to customer feedback.
