SIMS Student–Easy Access to Important School Information
We have a convenient way of sharing information with you about your child’s school life. The information that you receive through SIMS Parent will help you to stay up-to-date with your child’s daily school life as well as helping you to support your child’s development and progress. You can access SIMS Parent from a smartphone, tablet or PC – anytime, anywhere. If you have more than one child at school, you will have access to information for all your children, from the same app.
What Will You Find in SIMS Parent?
- Important information such as attendance, behaviour and achievement, timetable and homework.
- Your child’s Progress Reviews, Reports and Pastoral Star Reports.
- School term and inset dates at the click of a button. You will also receive notifications to remind you about information such as key dates for your diary.
- Access to update your contact details, so we always have the most up-to-date information in case of emergency.
