Committed to Supporting your Secondary School
At Capita we have forged close links with many school leaders, teachers and administration staff in more than 3,500 secondary schools over the last 21 years. This has given us a unique insight into the challenges schools face and enables us to focus on developing products and services that help them achieve the things that are important to them, such as managing the 14-19 agenda, raising standards, increasing attendance and more personalised learning to engage and excite their students.
Committed to supporting all schools we can help to: Raise standards throughout your school
- You can make use of the information your school records on SIMS each day to inform better decision-making and raise standards across your school.
- Ensure your school’s information is always up to date and easily accessible to those that need it with our SIMS management information system.
- Manage your school’s admissions and ensure they are fair.
Improve pupil performance
- A complete record of assessment grades and homework marks can be stored electronically enabling you to track each pupil’s progress easily and accurately measure the success of teaching strategies.

- Create individual education plans (IEPs) easily and ensure all your pupils, including those with special educational needs, are supported with skilful target-setting.
- Enable teachers to engage pupils with more personalised anytime, anywhere learning.
- Professional, constructive pupil reports can be completed in no time to strengthen home-school links.
- Parents can be kept informed of their child’s progress via the web so that they can provide better support at home.
Manage attendance and behaviour

- Have a complete record of behaviour available to help inform disciplinary decisions and provide a focus for parents’ evenings.
Manage finances and resources
