- Allow parents, staff and older pupils to update their own data.
- Admin staff can see when information has been updated, sanity check the data and write it directly to SIMS with the click of a button.
- Collect data for the entire new intake year and update SIMS in minutes, not weeks.
- Follows SIMS permissions, so estranged parents can only view their own data, not those of their ex-partner or children.
Matches SIMS Data
All data on Edulink One automatically matches data on SIMS.
Data like medical records, first languages and parental consents are all able to be viewed, collected and updated.
If you update SIMS with additional fields, this change is also replicated on Edulink One.
Easy to Administer
Nominated admin staff are given access to the data collection module. The data collection module will show an alert every time someone updates their data.
The admin staff can then sanity check that the updated data is correct, before approving it and writing it to SIMS with the click of a button. No new data is written to SIMS without first being checked by a member of staff.
New Year Intake
Edulink One also makes collecting and inputting data for the new year intake a doddle. As soon as a child is marked as “accepted” on SIMS, their parent or carer can be given access to the data collection module in Edulink One.
It’s then simply a case of asking parents to fill out all their details on the data collection page in Edulink One and all of the new pupil data can be written to SIMS in minutes, not weeks.
Collecting Permissions
Simplify obtaining permissions for activities or collecting additional data using Edulink One’s Forms feature.
