SIMS Core Suite

The central source for your school data

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.

SIMS Core Suite features for primary schools and academies

  • Monitor behaviour, progress and AM and PM attendance

    Key data on individual attendance, progress, behaviour, achievements and Special Educational Needs is displayed on a single screen. Quick links to details can inform pupil / parent meetings and give you the complete picture.

  • View your classes

    Class teachers can link directly to their class registers from this panel, so they can take the register, check who is not expected and access individual attendance details.

  • Improved Pupil Premium functionality

    Obtain accurate Pupil Premium data by importing files directly from the Key to Success website into SIMS and add & edit Pupil Premium records manually.

  • Compile statutory returns electronically

    Take the hard work out of a necessary task. Statutory returns are created and submitted straight from the data already saved in SIMS.

  • Record and maintain historical SEN data

    Maintain a history of changes to a pupil/student’s SEN needs through the Needs History dialog, including start and end dates.

  • Bulletin panel

    Use the bulletin panel to view whole school information, such as newsletters, school policies or bulletins.

  • Hold staff data centrally

    Professional details, qualifications and training information is held together and pulled through into the School Workforce Census.

  • Key indicators

    See an at-a-glance view of the key areas for a child: attendance, behaviour and achievements.

  • Pupil teacher view

    View individual pupil data or see whole school view of data.
