SIMS Parent Lite App

With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect in May 2018, schools now have new requirements around the way they use pupil and parent data.

Included within your SIMS annual entitlement fee, the SIMS Parent Lite app delivers school data collection solutions that comply with the new GDPR data requirements, by providing a simple way to collect, manage and handle information by obtaining accurate data securely from parents.

Supports GDPR data accuracy

Collect the most up-to-date data about students and their parents, to comply with the GDPR requirement for accuracy of data.

Available on iOS, Android and a browser, the SIMS Parent Lite app provides a convenient and accessible solution for parents to electronically review and request changes to the data held on them and their children.

GDPR school data management is simpler as schools have the ability to send notifications to parents, reminding them to update their details, reducing manual data entry and eliminating paper-based data collection.

Safe data transfer

Utilising the power of SIMS ID, the SIMS Parent Lite app allows users to use an existing email account to login, removing the need for a school to manage user accounts.

Parents can provide additional information on crucial details such as medical information or dietary requirements, using the text information function, ensuring that personal information not previously held in SIMS is collected.

Supports data upkeep

Manage school data updates effortlessly. When a parent has submitted a change request, automatic emails are sent to nominated SIMS admin accounts. Administrators are able to view previous requests and details of any action taken via the audit trail within SIMS.

"Integrating Next Gen with SIMS7 has been seamless, I’ve hardly noticed any change. It's efficient and quicker for me to analyse attendance and we’ve also saved on paper costs and printing supplies."

Emma Pascoe, School Secretary , Weston Primary School

“The slice-by-slice approach to bringing out new features has been welcomed, as in a school environment you don’t have time to learn everything more than once. It’s the best way to introduce new functionality and get excited about what's going to come next.”

Neil Wright - SIMS Support Unit - Halton
