Free School Meals Census Update Service
Save time updating FSM records before the October Census. Support currently available for SIMS and Bromcom systems only.
New Free School Meals MIS Requirements
Changes to Free School Meals (FSM) requirements mean schools must review and update FSM records, including new categories, verification dates and eligibility information.
To help schools manage these changes, SBS has introduced a new FSM Census Update Service for SIMS and Bromcom schools. Rather than manually updating individual pupil records, schools simply complete a spreadsheet and SBS processes the updates in bulk before importing them directly into the MIS.
What's included?
- Pre-import FSM report
- Bulk processing of FSM updates
- Import into SIMS or Bromcom*
- Validation and quality checks
- Post-import census report
*Arbor is not currently supported as part of this service.
Why use SBS?
- Reduce administrative workload
-
Save valuable staff time
-
Increase confidence in census data
- Support compliance with new FSM requirements
-
Help prepare for the October Census
