[sims] Class Charts to SIMS attendance

[PhilSaint]

So I’m taking over attendance from September but in our handover I was shown that attendance data in SIMS and Classcharts doesn’t match. I assume Classcharts is correct but the Wonde isn’t pulling it over correctly.

 

Classcharts themselves say they only pull the AM/PM data, not each lesson, but don’t think that accounts for the ~4% discrepancy each day.

 

I can’t imagine this is ok as DfE will be pulling inaccurate info from SIMS.

My understanding is Classcharts only writes back AM/PM data.

 

It displays all data from SIMS, although can be overwritten by users taking a register in classcharts (eg PE or assemblies).

 

We have the odd mismatch when parents ring us up, but usually when teacher has struggled to get SIMS open so randomly taken their register in Classcharts and not told anyone.

 

Certainly not 4% swing.
