SIMS Lesson Monitor (Lesson Registration)
About the Service
SIMS Lesson Monitor is an optional licensed module for SIMS that provides an integrated classroom and administration tool to monitor students' attendance and behaviour.
Lesson Monitor in secondary schools can be used to record both statutory registration and lesson attendance. Senior leaders, Heads of Year and teachers can quickly monitor students’ attendance in every class.
With Lesson Monitor, your school can help reduce truancy while monitoring behaviour trends in the classroom, ensuring early intervention where necessary.
