Whole school improvement
The tools to make real-time decisions on the issues that matter

The issues

‘Whole school improvement’?

Most will agree that ‘empowerment’ and ‘putting the learner at the centre of everything we do’ are central principles of a whole school improvement strategy. Putting such principles into practice is the challenge. SIMS helps you to:

• remove traditional barriers to learning and inclusion
  
• unlock potential, self-development and engagement
  
• encourage creativity and innovation.

The challenges and opportunities

When everything is in flux, when day-to-day firefighting frustrates the forming of an improvement strategy, let alone monitoring, measuring and managing it, what’s the answer?

Whole school improvement dictates simultaneous, often orchestrated behavioural, operational and process improvements.  It will involve a blend of specific focus areas and general indicators, all of which need accurate monitoring and real-time interventions to keep on track.

Discovering what is and what isn’t working weeks or even months after the event simply isn’t good enough.

But what if you could always be on top of the real picture? A summary of just the essential data you need to make decisions on where to focus your attention?

The SIMS answer

How can technology really make a contribution to your whole school improvement strategy?

The answer is when it helps your teams stretch the most able pupils and target support for those facing the most difficulties; when trends of good and bad behaviour can be identified, actions taken and progress monitored. When you see processes and procedures improved and resources freed up.

The answer is also when you see communication across the school and beyond the school gate strengthened, with parents engaged and informed.

That’s the SIMS approach. We want to give you a flight deck for your school. On your desktop, laptop, even PDA. A display showing real-world performance against your priorities. The tools to make real-time decisions on the issues that matter.

SIMS gives you the power to help deliver personalised learning in the classroom, to arm pupils, teachers and parents with information that motivates. The technology to deliver a more flexible workplace for you and your teams.
