We've got a bumper newsletter for you. Read on for training, Next Gen, MyScomis and MIS prep for domestic exams.

SIMS NEXT GEN

Scomis customers are at the forefront of SIMS Next Gen

We continue rolling out SIMS Next Gen to primary schools nationwide. The process is smooth, tried and tested. If you're ready to see what Next Gen can do to improve the speed and ease of tasks such as Taking Register, get in touch and we'll set you up.

One question that pops up frequently is this: "If we try Take Register in Next Gen and don't like it, can we go back to SIMS 7?" To which the answer is: "Any time! You're not losing SIMS 7 functionality; you're just gaining SIMS Next Gen functionality. You can switch between the two whenever you wish. They work in harmony, your data syncs between the two, and you needn't stop using one to use the other."

DfE energy efficiency guidance

This week, the Department for Education released guidance to support building users, premises managers and senior leadership teams to reduce energy, costs and carbon use. We know this is topmost in everyone’s minds, so please take a look and see if there are additional actions and help that your establishment can take to alleviate this particularly challenging crunch.

Small but mighty improvements - passwords
