‘School Analytics’ is a SIMS assessment system for primary schools

School Analytics is a no-fuss system of marksheets that provides a simple way of recording pupil assessment. It links to the SIMS Programme of Study marksheets to help school analyse the top-level data. It can also be used ‘stand-alone’ to provide a simple, no-fuss summative assessment system.

Integration with SIMS programme of study marksheets

The SIMS Programme of Study system allows schools to capture formative assessments quickly and easily. But schools still need to summarise the formative data to give the ‘big picture’ of pupil attainment and progress over the whole cohort – and that’s where School Analytics comes in.

Why use SIMS for assessment?

Many schools don’t get the most out of their investment in SIMS. In particular, they don’t fully utilise Assessment Manager. School Analytics is a quick to set up, ‘out of the box’ solution for schools that want to get more value from one of the most powerful school improvement tools you already have.

For Teachers

• School Analytics works within SIMS to provide each teacher with a set of marksheets for their classes.
• Class teachers can easily analyse their own data as soon as it is entered
• Show contextual data to give a wider picture of pupil vulnerabilities because multiple factors can affect attainment.
• Builds on teachers’ existing familiarity with SIMS.
• Easy access – if teachers already take the register in SIMS they are one click away from the School Analytics marksheets – no extra passwords or software to install.

New! Group Analysis

School Analytics makes full use of SIMS group analysis features. Here’s an example analysis that analyses the whole year group, and each of the vulnerable group in the year, in one simple table:

For Senior Managers
