The Administration Advisory Team consists of 4 advisors who support and assist schools admin staff, Senior Leadership Teams and Governors in developing and maintaining an accurate Information Management System as a tool for raising attainment. This service and support is delivered through a combination of guidance notes, training materials, web based resources, telephone, remote dial-up support and on-site support.

Admin Advisors deliver centre-based training courses and when required in-school training courses. We provide to schools manuals, guidance notes. Under BSF, ITASS work with RM to provide Sims support to the 4 Newham BSF Schools, as well as SIMS Support to 4 schools in other neighbouring local authorities. All ITASS staff undergo regular training; and new staff are appropriately qualified and undergo a rigorous and thorough programme of induction.

Once a term ITASS holds an Information Management User Group meeting.

This provides a forum for discussing details of software upgrades and releases, hardware and networking developments, statutory requirements and sharing best practice.
