Our child-centred safeguarding solution helps identify emerging problems, and gives school teachers and leaders instant access to pupil information in one place, which supports immediate targeted actions. Insights enables you to evidence the effectiveness of your safeguarding arrangements to Ofsted and drive improved outcomes for children.

SIMS gives you the information you need for inspections so you can quickly run reports and provide data on all areas of school performance without spending weeks preparing. Real-time data within SIMS and our extensive built-in drag and drop report builder allows you to show your successes as well as areas for improvement so you can continually make progress.

School leaders need a complete picture of their school for decision-making and analysing the progress and success of their strategies. With SIMS, through a simple export to Power BI and MAT Dashboarding, you will always trust the data to provide evidence and insights. SIMS gives you a real-time, accurate picture of how your school or group is performing.

Teachers long to be given the freedom to teach without the burden of administrative tasks. SIMS can help by lightening the workload with digital registration on any device, including mobile and tablets, to in-depth assessments and interventions. SIMS gives teachers the freedom and time to teach.

Managing school finances can be complex. Our flexible finance solutions for schools and MATs, provides a real-time snapshot of all income and outgoings in one place, enabling you to make the right financial decision for your school without spending hours drilling-down to find the details.

Schools seeking to attract greater numbers of pupils will benefit from SIMS, as it shows how parents respond to school communications, so you can see what has and hasn't worked when it comes to pupil recruitment. By using SIMS to manage the entire process, from initial enquiry through to joining your school, you'll save time and reduce missed opportunities.

Engaging with parents is a fantastic way to support learning and help raise attainment. Yet it can be challenging to send the information parents need when they need it. Our parental engagement solution provides a wide-range of real-time information and effectively bridges the parent-teacher-student communication gap, improving academic achievement, student wellbeing and cohesion within your school community.

Every child deserves the best chances in education. SIMS will let you know when a pupil needs extra support or show you when a child could achieve more at school. By recording both summative and formative assessments, SIMS enables you to bring all your pupil data together in intuitive graphs and charts, so that you can analyse performance and get an accurate view of attainment at a pupil, class, school, or group level.
