SIMS Parent

SIMS Parent is the platform that has now replaced SIMS Learning Gateway. 

You should have received your individual activation email which will enable you to register. (If you have not received the email please contact the school) 

Once you have registered for an account you can access this via the SIMS Parent App (available via Google Play or the Apple App store) or by visiting www.sims-parent.co.uk

Here is a short video to show you how to download the app.

Here is a getting started guide for setting up a SIMS Parent account.

How to register?

Before beginning the registration processes, you will need the following:
 

• Your unique registration email. Your school will send to you a registration email that contains a registration link and an invitation code. This email will be sent from Capita SIMS (noreply@sims.co.uk). If you cannot find this email, please check your junk mail and ensure it has not been marked as SPAM.
   
• The date of birth of one of your children who attends the school.
   
• A Microsoft (including Office 365), Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter or SIMS ID account. You can use an existing account (e.g. a Hotmail account) or create a new one online - they are free, easy to set up and you can use any valid email address and password.
   

Getting Started
 

1. Open the email and click the button or copy and paste the website URL as instructed. A new internet browser window will open and you will be asked to log in.
   
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Only users with an existing SIMS ID account can enter their details in the Username and Password fields that are displayed. There is no facility for users to create a SIMS ID account as part of account registration.
    
2. Users who do not have a SIMS ID account should register with a Microsoft (including Office 365), Google, Apple, Facebook or Twitter account. Click the icon for the relevant Third Party account and you will be directed to sign in using your existing details.
   
   IMPORTANT NOTE: You will be guided through the login process. Once logged in, you will be asked if you want to authorise SIMS Parent to use your account.
    
3. You will now be asked for an Invitation code.
    
   • If you were able to use the button in the email you received, this field will be populated automatically.
      
   • If you had to select the web address in the email, you will need to copy the invite code from the email and paste it into the space provided.
      
4. Click the Register button to continue.
5. Enter the Date of birth of one of your children attending the school in the format dd/mm/yyyy (e.g. 12/06/2011) and click the Verify button.
   This is for security purposes only and this information will not be used in the SIMS Parent system.
   Your account is created. On completion, you will see the SIMS Parent site.
