Once you have an account this can be used on all SIMS products the school invites you to use.

Registering an account.

You can only register an account when you have been invited by your school. You will be provided with an invite code that is required to register The invite will have the registration 'invite code' you need along with a link to the registration process. Alternatively, you can register at https://registration.sims.co.uk using the invite code you have received.
