"Using SIMS Discover to drive achievement means I can identify children who are underperforming far more quickly."

Catherine Roberts, Deputy Head, Wimbledon Chase Primary School

“SIMS saves us a lot of time because everything is in one place. Whether it’s the school business manager, clerical staff, assessment leader, teachers or myself, everyone can get the information they need quickly. It saves a lot of time and as a result, we save money because we are using our time much more effectively. Using SIMS has proved to be very valuable to our school.”

Jayne Mullane, Head Teacher Merseyvale Primary School

"SIMS Options makes the whole process of selecting options really simple. It enables pupils and parents to choose their options over the web, and so eradicates the filing and collating of individual submissions. This keeps the timetablers happy too by releasing precious hours of their time."

Geoff Worth, Head of Management Information and Data Infrastructure, Pate’s Grammar School

"Introducing SIMS as our management information system has brought that information to our fingertips, vastly reduced the time we spend hunting around for data, and given teachers more time to do what they do best – teach."
