Class registers

[pooley]

Currently our teachers take a paper register and that is transferred into Sims.

 

Do we need to keep the paper registers?

Nope. All our schools put them straight into SIMS

Depends. Do you need to do unnecessary extra work, admin, data retention, processing, destruction and possible FOI/SAR?

 

Being serious; no, you don’t - and you’re the second school to mention that you still do this recently. As a comparison, we moved to electronic-only 13 years ago, and we were late bloomers to some.

No, only official registers must be maintained for a period.

Thanks all, I've had conflicting advice on this.

 

We will ditch the paper registers once they have been transferred to sims.
