SIMS Parent App

SIMS Parent App - Introduction

We have a convenient new way to share information with you regarding your child's school life. You can access the system from a smartphone, tablet or PC - anytime, anywhere. We encourage all parents/guardians to download and sign up to the SIMS Parent App and enable notifications. The information that you receive through the app will help you stay up-to-date with your child's School life as well as support your child's development and progress.

What will you find on the SIMS Parent app?

Important information such as attendance, behaviour and achievement.

School contact details.
Access to update your contact details, so we always have the most up-to-date information.
Your child’s timetable.
Attendance – view your child’s termly attendance percentage and receive weekly notifications.
View your child’s achievement points (stars) and behaviour incidents (Xs) and receive notifications whenever they are updated.

If you have more than one child at school, you will have access to this information for all of your children, from the same app.

We use the app to notify parents that your child has not completed their homework and will sit an after school detention. If your child has received a star (achievement point) or an X (behaviour point) you will receive a notification at 6pm. If your child receives an XPW, this means they have failed to complete homework and they will sit a detention after school the following day. You can view your child's achievement and behaviour record at any point by entering the app, clicking on their name and then selecting 'conduct'.

Parent App Booklet

Can I use a shared email address?

No. Each SIMS Parent App login is individual and each parent will need a separate login via a separate email account.

What do I need to do if my first registration didn’t work?

Please send your name and email address to admin@allsaintscc.org.uk

We will resend your invitation email enabling you to re-register.

I haven't received the invitation email. What should I do?

In order for us to be able to send out the Parent App invitation email we need your email address. Please contact the school at info@allsaintscc.org.uk

Can the Parent App be accessed on a laptop or home computer as well?

Yes. The Parent App can be accessed via https://www.sims-parent.co.uk

I was able to use Parent App until now but suddenly it doesn't let me log in.

Once you have registered, we no longer manage the login details. It is your responsibility to remember your password and chosen login method. The most common problem users have is with forgetting passwords. Remember that all passwords contain:

At least one number

At least one capital letter

At least one special character

At least eight characters

Should you be unable to login there is a 'forgot password' option on the app which will allow you to re set it yourself. Please ensure you are attempting to login with the correct email address (the one you have provided to the school) and the login method you selected during registration.

Below is a downloadable document which walks you through the sign-up process. If, after reading the information in the documents below you still need help please email admin@allsaintscc.org.uk detailing the issue and someone will get back to you.
