SIMS EMAReduced risk, peace of mind and simplicity when managing the Government's Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) scheme



When it comes to managing the Education Maintenance Allowance Scheme you need to ensure it is accurate and timely.  SIMS EMA automates the administrative procedures required to support the scheme.

Key features

• Saves you time in managing EMA - Links with attendance data in SIMS to automatically identify whether students are entitled to the weekly payments and bonuses, greatly reducing the administration involved with the scheme.
• Evidence for an appeal - Access to information about any weeks a student has not qualified to receive payment, including reasons given for non-attendance, which can be accessed in the event of an appeal.
• Meets reporting criteria - Enables online registration of students onto the scheme so schools can transfer the weekly authorisation, enrolment files and the bonus authorisations and meets all the necessary criteria for attendance reporting as specified by the Assessment Payment Body.
  
• A complete record of transactions stored securely in one place - Keep track of all the related transactions and a complete record is stored securely within the system for audit and reporting purposes.
• Professional reports - Use the information stored in SIMS to produce professional reports quickly, enabling you to evaluate the effectiveness of the scheme within your school, and establish whether the number of your students remaining in full-time education is rising as a result of the payments.

You want to ensure that every one of your students gets the chance to benefit from the excellent education you provide, including those from lower income families. Some of the students joining your school could be entitled to receive funding from the Government’s EMA scheme, but they must meet certain criteria and juggling the administration involved can be complicated.     

Using SIMS EMA, your staff will be able to establish a student’s eligibility and ensure payments and bonuses are paid quickly so that students can focus on what they are learning, by the automation of many of the administrative tasks required to manage the scheme.
