Behaviour logging software

[sparkeh]

Been asked to look into software for logging behaviour and just wondered what people were using these days?

 

TIA

SIMS does the job for us.

BehaviourWatch, it's....ok. There's a python exe that syncs from SIMS that I eventually got to work, but it's not super modern, and they seem to spend their time trying to be a full MIS than updating their web tech

we have just started using Sleuth

I have been asked to look at BehaviourWatch so that's useful

One school uses iris IRIS | Pupil behaviour management for secondary schools. SLT like it but I find it very clunky behind the scenes and it takes up far too much of my time although if you have your timetable in SIMS it may work better.

 

The other school uses https://www.epraise.co.uk/ This seems much more positive focused although it does also track poor behaviour. I don't know as much about it, but it certainly looks more modern.

We use https://www.classcharts.com and the staff absolutely love it.

 

Talks to SIMS to sync classes and also write data back. We also use the detention module for managing detentions here.

We've used ClassCharts for around 4 or 5 years now and the staff love it here too. They find things much easier than the previous behaviour management software we have used in the past.

 

Seating plans is an added bonus.

Looking at Class Charts ourselves, but in the Groupcall setup it's pulling staff personal address data out of SIMS!

 

I don't think so!

Our new head starting in Sept wants me to Trial this Trackit Lights Premium from what i can see company is new aprox 4 staff maybe a few more going to set the trial up once i have had some info through

Interested to know where you went in the end @sparkeh

 

We transitioned from Behaviourwatch to ClassCharts, it's world's apart in reporting and capability.

Sims. After taking a close look and some trialling it does everything that we need [emoji3]

We have SIMS and use Classcharts, which baffles me as we're already paying for SIMS which offers all we need!

I would avoid BehaviourWatch - lots of promises of customisation and flexibility that doesn't really materialise. Reporting tools are very limited. We resort to manually exporting the data to CSV and processing with Excel to moniter our KPIs.

Forms are lost if you go offline while filling one in (if our staff have a lot to type, they type up in word and copy across)

If you have a customisation request (like radio buttons in forms for example) you're lucky if you get in the dev queue which is strictly policed.

We've been with them for 3 years now, not sure how much longer we can cope with it!

Just found out we're paying £3000/year for BehaviourWatch, that's twice as much as SIMS. How much are the alternatives?

[CHiLL]

We've been using Class Charts with SIMS for a few years now. Our staff are very happy with it and their support has generally been excellent.

[ITGURU]

We use SIMS for behaviour however we do have a bespoke in-house system for On-Calls which stores in SQL and generates all sorted of graphs based on on-call reason, behaviour, attendance etc.

Works way better than SIMS 'emergency' button.
