"The time we lost on communicating with parents was enormous. We've now reduced that down from something that filled all day, every day, to filling over half a day, so that's big savings for us."

Jo Hockton, Data Management, Sponne School

“The SIMS Parent app offers easy and convenient access to attainment, attendance and achievement records via their smartphones. We anticipate achieving even greater levels of parental engagement.”

Steve Floyd, Network and Systems Manager, Goffs Academy

"It's so useful to be able to see how my daughter is progressing, without having to contact the teachers directly. I worry she might not be keeping on top of her homework and now I use the SIMS Parent app, it alerts me if a piece has not been handed in, meaning I have much more informed conversations with my daughter at home."
