Don’t just take my word for it……
“ We use SIMS InTouch to SMS and email parents. For attendance issues it means that we do not have to make individual calls home and then record the reasons for absence on the children's records as any replies received are automatically stored on the pupils’ records in SIMS. ” June Walters, School Business Manager The Priory School, Sandwell
Don’t just take my word for it……
“For first day absence reporting alone it has saved one and a half hours of our attendance officer’s time each day contacting parents. This equates to a saving of £3,990 a year. She can now spend this extra time working with parents on improving attendance rather than chasing up the reasons for it, which is far more proactive.” Chris McAree, Headteacher Caldew School, Cumbria
