Introduction
Most schools will use the behaviour area of SIMS .net to record incidences of negative behaviour, such as
disruption, bullying, etc. Positive behaviour is then recorded in the achievement section of SIMS .net. This
enables schools to monitor and compare points for both negative and positive behaviour. However, some
schools may wish to record other pastoral events of a day-to-day nature such as contacts with parents or
contact with some outside agencies in the Behaviour Management section. These can also be added to the
Behaviour panel with a points value of zero to reflect that they are not negative events.
When recording behaviour events, specifying the location is particularly useful, as a report can be produced
and run, based on the event location. This enables ‘hot spot’ areas for poor behaviour, such as the Dining
Hall to be identified. This would allow appropriate preventative measures to be taken, such as additional
staffing. It is also possible to link one or more documents to the behaviour record to provide any required
supplementary information.
Each incident can be allocated a number of points with a running total for all behaviour events recorded.
Recording behaviour can be useful to provide historical evidence of poor behaviour for exclusions either for
the Board of Governors or Local Authorities.
Behaviour events can be reported on using SIMS .net reporting, with a range of pre-defined behaviour
reports available. For more information, please enter REPCAT in the Site Search field for the latest
SIMS .net Pre-define Reporting Catalogue.
Some of the values that appear in the drop-down lists (lookups) when recording behaviour events can be
edited to meet the needs of your school. For example, the type of behaviour event can be edited using a
lookup called Behaviour Type.
The following lookups are applicable when recording behaviour events:
