Interventions - SIMS

Benefits of attending

This SIMS module is designed to allow intervention organisers, facilitators and analysers to plan, implement and review interventions that form part of the school's strategies for Assessment, Attendance and Behaviour/Achievement. The cost, benefit and overall effectiveness on pupil performance can be analysed and compared to other interventions. In-depth analysis can be performed of individual intervention effectiveness for different groups, for example ethnicity and pupil premium. It will also provide an individual pupil summary of which interventions are most effective.

• Record a target for an individual student.
