Effective classroom management
SIMS Next Gen makes classroom management simple – Coming in autumn term, Class View is your central hub to access and manage your pupil information. You can take the register, create seating plans, view vital pupil data like SEND and EAL as well as recording observations and conduct events. View insights on attendance at pupil level, as a percentage attendance indicator so you can identify at a glance pupils with low attendance who might need more or different support.
SIMS Next Gen allows staff to take attendance registers anywhere and on any device with instant data writeback to SIMS on-premise or SIMS Connected.
From the autumn term, Conduct Events will be available, allowing teachers to record positive and negative behaviours, with customisable terminology tailored to fit your specific behaviour management needs.
And if you’re using SIMS on-premise, SIMS Interventions allows you to track all the extra resources you implemented to support pupil progress and improve learning outcomes. See and manage all your interventions data in one place including costing, participation, outcomes and effectiveness.
Motivate and retain the best staff
Finding and retaining great team members is vital to a school’s success, but staff retention is a growing challenge. Supporting school leadership, teachers and admin teams with an MIS that makes their day to day easier and frees them up to focus on what’s important can be instrumental in improving team morale and wellbeing.
By using SIMS personnel and staff performance and our comprehensive timetabling solutions including Nova T6 you will have the best tool for effectively managing and retaining staff. Having a timetabling tool that is customisable and powerful enough to accommodate the flexible working requirements needed to attract the best team and deliver your curriculum is key; and Nova T6 enables you to achieve this.
Fully integrating the timetable in the MIS means that line managers can easily capture lesson observations and reviews, training can be updated individually or in bulk . A clear and transparent performance and appraisal system linked to school objectives and professional standards gives a complete picture of every member of staff.
Optimise each pupil's opportunity for learning with SIMS Seating Plans
Available to all our schools using SIMS Next Gen, SIMS Seating Plans help teachers create, adapt and share seating plans to support teaching and learning.
Our research tells us that teachers believe seating plans have a major influence on students’ behaviour and learning. But many teachers have to rely on paper, sticky notes or spreadsheets to create their plans, making it a burdensome task.
SIMS Seating Plans gives teachers in primary and secondary schools an easy way to map out seating arrangements with the benefit of student information in SIMS to inform their decisions.
