SIMS Next Gen for MAT leaders

Making every day easier

In today's fast-paced environment, MAT leaders face numerous challenges, from ensuring consistent school performance to efficiently managing centralised operations. Our comprehensive management solution will deliver the actionable insights and centralised control MATs need. Group Analytics is available now, allowing MAT leaders to track trust performance in a single view.

This autumn, we will launch Group Hub, providing a centralised overview of all schools in the trust. MAT leaders can access each school's MIS directly from the group account, without separate logins or passwords. They can also view, filter, and customise school data, and see whole school analytics headlines.

"We wanted to start working with Power BI with live data from our MIS system. Opting for SIMS Group Analytics not only provided the Trust with a ready to go dashboard but also allowed users to make bespoke changes, allowing data to be tailored to meet the needs of the individual academy schools."

Sophie Pearson, Data and Analytics Leader, Aston Community Education Trust

SIMS Group Analytics isn’t just a reporting product - it guides decision-makers to make the changes they need to, so they improve educational outcomes for their children.”
