Capita Children’s Services (www.capita-cs.co.uk) has been shortlisted for an EducationInvestor Award 2010 in the Supplier to the Education Sector category.

Capita Children’s Services is the company behind SIMS, the management information system used by 21,000 primary, secondary and special schools. The company is responsible on a daily basis for the pupil records of nearly 6 million children.
Phil Neal, managing director of SIMS, Capita Children’s Services, said: “Raising pupil achievement is always a priority for schools and we have been working incredibly hard to ensure the pupil tracking tools in our SIMS system can help teachers spot when pupils are falling behind, and help motivate pupils to raise performance by setting achievable goals. It is this focus that has helped us be selected as a finalist in these awards, along with our work in helping schools address parental engagement issues and changes to the 14-19 curriculum.”
