SIMS Pre-Admissions
Automated
Paperless pre-admissions process to automatically update SIMS
The most efficient way to collect pre-admissions documentation from families and automatically add it to SIMS.
“I am so happy and amazed with our pre-admissions process now. We have used Operoo to completely remove all paper from the new starters parents experience. We send out all forms, digitally through Operoo. Parents love it, responding quickly and accurately from any device or language, and also provide us with student medical information. The data flows straight back into SIMS. Admin staff love it too, and it saves us loads of time, as the system triggers next steps in the workflow, subsequent communications, and does the chasing for us.”
— Gary Loughrey, Progress Data Manager, Allerton High School

“Operoo has completely changed our pre-admissions process! We are only 3 months in and already we have seen its immense benefit for the school’s pre-admissions process and can see its potential for other school processes. Gone are the days spent sifting through hundreds of paper forms and the need to manually chase non-responders. We have been amazed to discover that parental engagement is the highest it has ever been, with over 99% of parents engaging and responding, far in advance of our deadlines. The Operoo team have offered us the most invaluable support and training sessions to achieve our goal implementation date, and have kept us up to date with any developments. Amazing!”
— King Edward VI Handsworth School for Girls

It’s easy for parents to provide all required data, including digital signatures.
Parents can use the camera on their device to submit birth certificates and proof of residency documentation, making it simple to provide any type of information required by the school.
Automated Reminders

Forget about the hassle of following up missing forms and information, Operoo does the work for you.
How We Help Schools Using SIMS
1. Establish a single & secure source of truth for important pre-admissions data
Better yet, make that data instantly accessible to all authorised staff anywhere, anytime and on any device.
2. Seamlessly Communicate with Pre-Admitted Families
Send automated, group and personalised digital communications to parents of pre-admitted students – based on the timing and nature of the information supplied throughout the pre-admissions process – with zero manual effort and without adding and removing data from SIMS.
3. Don’t Chase Another Paper Form Again
Easily create, distribute and collect all admission forms digitally. Zero phone calls or pieces of paper. Collect vital student data quickly and painlessly, including dietary requirements, emergency and medical information. And, set automated reminders to follow-up with non-respondents (at a regular cadence of your choosing) so that you don’t have to.
4. Automatically Sync Data to SIMS Upon Acceptance
Once students progress from pre-admission status, automatically create a student record in SIMS and sync accross all pre-admission, dietary and medical data upon acceptance – without any manual intervention, data entry or data matching required. Save time, reduce risk and information handling errors.
5. Trigger Student On-boarding Upon Pre-Admission
Programmatically trigger all new student on-boarding requests upon enrolment – so there’s never a bottleneck in your student registrations – with best practice digital templates for Pupil Premium Applications, Home School Agreements, Free School Meal Forms, School Trip Permissions and everything in-between.
6. Fast Track Responses by Engaging Students Directly
Streamline the on-boarding process by sending digital forms directly to students. Finalise subject selections, club sign-ups and distribute student handbooks long before the new school year begins.
