"Teachers quickly warmed up to Next Gen once they experienced its speed and simplicity first-hand. The inclusion of student photos next to their names was a hit, adding a personal touch that was missing before.

One of the standout improvements is the new homepage, which streamlines access to pupil details, making it easier than ever for teachers to find the information they need.

While SIMS 7 still serves a purpose in our admin offices, teachers now exclusively use Next Gen for the class register and pupil details.

Overall, we are very happy with what we have seen from Next Gen so far and looking ahead we're excited to explore other available features like Seating Plans, which we believe will further enhance teaching and classroom management. "

Mark Simpson, ICT Network Manager, Newport CE Primary School

“All positive from our end, with the majority of staff now using Take Register in our Prep school. We like how easy it is to access the Lesson Registers, and the new designs look great!

Registers are streamlined, intuitive, and quick to complete. Plus, photos have made a significant difference in the classroom, as they help teachers easily identify pupils.

We highly recommend schools try SIMS Next Gen if they want to take their registers anywhere, on any device and at lightning speed.”

Jason Falkner, Business Manager, Radcliffe School

"As a school the most important thing is children's safety and safeguarding, the Next Gen Take Register allows me to take the register using a digital format and what I can do is, as and when the children come in, I can mark them as in on the register."

Simon Helsby, PPA Classroom Teacher, Weston Primary School
