SIMS Staff Performance

About the Service

SIMS Staff Performance is an additional licensed module in SIMS Personnel.

Ensuring you’re getting the very best out of your teachers is key to the success of any school. Staff who are engaged with their role perform better. SIMS Staff Performance provides senior leadership teams with the tools to effectively manage, monitor and report on the performance of their entire workforce.

Integration with SIMS Personnel allows school leaders to record staff performance quickly and easily alongside training and employment details, and to measure performance against professional standards already held in SIMS - building a complete picture of every member of staff.

It helps you to ensure that all staff are reaching their full potential and contributing towards whole school improvement.
