Secondary Assessment Manager
Assessment Manager is part of the SIMS.net suite and is the ideal tool for recording your pupil’s assessments in a seamless manner. This module provides a means of recording a pupil's marks, grades and other scores to meet the school's day-to-day assessment needs and the statutory assessment requirements of the National Curriculum. It supports good practice in all schools since it can be used in conjunction with a consistent whole-school assessment policy.
Some of the benefits of using Assessment Manager in your school:
- Maintains a historical record of individual assessments over time allowing powerful analysis of that data.
- Facilitates the monitoring and tracking of pupil attainment over time.
- 'Offline' data entry is available after Assessment Manager Marksheets have been exported to Excel spreadsheets. These are easily imported back into the system
- Individual pupil reports produced using the functionality of Microsoft Word Mail Merge including free text comments.
- Individual reports generated in Assessment Manager are available from the SIMS .net Pupil Record directly – no more searching for paper copies

The two documents should be downloaded which provide instructions on how to compile the information required by your Area SIP Manager. The documents give full instruction on how to download and use the report definition and the chance analysis grid.
