All schools should now be using SOLUS 3 to run SIMS upgrades. Please check your SIMS version on Wednesday 3rd December 2025 by clicking Help > About SIMS.net (click on the splash screen to close this). If the version number is 7.226 this means that SIMS has automatically updated and no further action is needed.

Please see the instructions below to manually run the SIMS upgrade if it hasn't done this automatically. If SIMS in installed on the school server, then please run the upgrade on the server, this ensures that the system is updated on all SIMS workstations. Please ensure all users are logged out of SIMS before starting the upgrade.

If you have any questions regarding the SIMS upgrade or need some assistance, please  contact the NYES Digital helpdesk on 01609 536086 and press 1 to speak to a member of the MIS Team.
