Meet Jill Green, your course trainer
I get great pleasure in helping schools get the best out of their SIMS software.
I have 25+ years of experience using SIMS – in a school environment, a Local Authority support team and 11 years as a software consultant with Capita
I have delivered consultancies all over the world in all types of schools from nursery schools through to Sixth form colleges and Prep Schools through to Senior Schools.
I have spent many days with admin teams in schools helping them to improve workflow processes to increase efficiency.
I sit and work with lots of SENCO's who are using other software like Excel to get their SEN register when actually you can easily do this from SIMS. This will save hours of work and its very simple to do.
