The sheet shows tracking grades for all subjects studied and an average score at the end.
I know I could do this by using the tracking scores rather than grades but went with the existing style of using grades.
The average score...

About to roll out Windows 10 and wanted to know if SIMS still relies on IE11? Is it still the recommended browser? We want to move everyone over to Chrome as the default browser. Can SIMS work happily with Chrome?

Hosted SIMS colour print problem
Disclaimer: I know nothing about Hosted SIMS!
HT has come to me to say that if he tries to print a whole class of reports, they come out in black and white. Our printers are set to default to black and white - the teachers have to deliberately change them to colour. This may be the problem as on...

I was wondering if it was possible to link a grade set with attendance, e.g. if a student is under 80% attendance they cannot achieve the highest learning behaviour as they have not attended enough.

[SIMS] UCAS References
Hello,
I've discovered the sixth form is writing references for UCAS in word and saving in desktop folders for each student.
I feel that SIMS could do this in a comment marksheet/report set up.
I have only used it with normal marksheets.
Is it the same, or different area to set up?
I can't...
