ScoMIS have been accredited by Capita Children’s Services for the SIMS support we provide to schools since 2002. ScoMIS are now seeking re-accreditation for a further two years.
An important part of the process is the independent feedback that Capita obtain from schools on our performance in support of their SIMS products. This information is collected using an on-line survey and gives schools an opportunity to assess the support they are receiving.
You will receive an email from Capita Children’s Services in the next few days. The on-line survey will be available to schools from 14th June to 25th June.

Thursday 6th May is of course Election Day and some schools may be closed for use as polling stations. This will obviously have an impact upon the attendance codes recorded for their students.
ScoMIS have been advised that schools should be using the ‘#’ code, as it is a planned closure. Whilst there may be an argument for some schools to record the event as closure due to exceptional circumstances (‘Y’ code), it is vitally important that you confirm the correct code with your Education Welfare Officer (EWO) before making any changes.
For information on how to enter these attendance codes into SIMS .net please see the ScoMIS FAQ
