In 2004 Schoolcomms was designed in tandem with the SIMS team with the aim of having two systems that work perfectly together. Fast forward to 2022, and we’re proud to have built the best available solution for parent engagement with SIMS in mind.  With powerful write-back capability, joining Schoolcomms together with ParentPay and SIMS helps you to save time and money on recurring administrative tasks, and means you can take charge of your messaging, clubs, meals, reports, cashless payments and so much more.

Send messages to specific class groups for free using our free parent app and whilst simultaneously setting up reoccurring club payment instalments. Notify parents of menu changes and safely collect dinner money, without cash, from all your parents devices – all automatically synced with SIMS.

• Write back to SIMS – write messages into the SIMS communications log for a full audit trail of communication that is sent and received – including attendance messages.
• Dynamic attachments – save on printing costs with attachments from SIMS. Send Assessment Manager reports, profile reports, curriculum and exam timetables in bulk or individually.
• Attendance – Schoolcomms picks up first day absence details from SIMS so you can send a message home. Parents can reply to your message providing a reason for the absence which is used to update SIMS at the click of a button. You can also log voice messages.
• Imported contact details – take pupil and parent contact data straight from SIMS, so you’re up and running in minutes.
