Information Platforms

In school, there is a vast amount of information that is recorded on multiple platforms.

Parents ask how information is used and stored in school and we hope that this provides a brief summary.

SIMS is a secure central school management information system that stores information such as family contact details, pupil attendance, real-time budget information, staff provision and suspension data. SIMS exports relevant information into both CPOMS and Insight
