Parent Links 

Parental engagement has a large and positive impact on children’s learning. We have a number of ways in which you can stay informed and work with us to improve your child’s progress:

PARENT APP

The Parent app enables you to access achievement, progress, attendance and assessment information. You can also update personal information about your child using the data collection link. As a school this will enable us to improve how we engage with you and to assist you in supporting your child’s progress.

Registering for the Parent app

If you have not already registered your interest or have not received an email regarding the Parent app please contact the school who will issue a form for you to complete. Once you have completed the form please return it to school.

Installing  the Parent app

From your smartphone or tablet, download the app from the Google Play or Apple App store - search for SIMS Parent. From a PC or Windows phone, click the parent app logo below.
 

PARENT PAY
