To Record New Entrants into the UK

To work around this, please go into SIMS .Net -  Tools\Other Schools

Click on the “New” button & record the school Name as “New to the UK”. Click on Save.

When recording the pupil details of a pupil new to the UK, please record “New to the UK” as the previous school, in the pupil’s School History panel, with a leaving date of the day BEFORE your school’s admission date.
