SIMS Data Cleansing Consultancy

Course Overview

Data cleansing is the process of detecting and correcting (or removing) inaccurate records within a database.  Over time the data held within SIMS can start to contain inaccuracies e.g. missing or duplicate contacts and addresses, missing houses, incorrect parental responsibilities assigned and family links not populating. The data needs to be accurate in SIMS so that the correct information is available in an emergency. It is also needed where other programs are being used in schools, such as SIMS apps or third party software, to communicate with parents.

Please Note: This course covers pupil data only not staff.
