Attendance provides schools with an integrated classroom and administration tool to monitor students’ attendance and behaviour. The Attendance module in a Primary school is used to record statutory attendance of AM and PM sessions. Using SIMS Attendance can help schools reduce truancy and improve safeguarding, while monitoring behaviour trends in the classroom, facilitating early intervention where necessary. NOTE: We have recently updated our course names to better support our customers in finding the course they need, the course content has not changed only the name has been updated. This course was previously titled Attendance.

A school’s management information system (MIS) holds a vast amount of data, which if accurately maintained can be used to inform school improvement strategies and support a wide range of school management activities including processing statutory returns. The school office is the hub of day-to-day pupil data management. Using typical scenarios encountered on a regular basis, this course takes a new user through the main procedures for maintaining accurate and useful data within the school’s MIS.
