Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Lôn Las (YGG Lôn Las) was built thanks to an investment by Swansea Council and the Welsh Government, and the hard work of Swansea-based construction business Dawnus. 

 

It was part of Swansea Council’s 21st Century Schools programme, upgrading school facilities across the city to help improve education and boost pupil attainment.

 

The school was rated good across the board following its latest Estyn inspection.

Our Integration module enables schools and other organizations in the educational sector to link the Time and Attendance Clocking and Access Control equipment with the School Information Management System (SIMS).

 

The software plugin allows students’ and staff’s attendance records to be imported into our centralised system, along with the details of their assigned proximity smart cards. Staff and students can then gain, or be denied, access to areas controlled by the access controllers, based upon their access permissions.

 

Details of past and current students can now be exported from SIMS into our system. An automatic facility imports students’ forename, surname, gender and start date.  Students are identified by their UPN and grouped by their year and registration group. Staff details are also imported into our system. 

 

Once attendance information is gathered from SIMS, configuration rules dictate how these attendance marks are treated. For example, attendance marks could replace existing clockings on our system, or be added as new entries.  Different rules can be applied to every day of the week.

If a school already have a card-based access control or time and attendance system, our card link facility ensures the records can be carried over and the card integrated. 

 

One of the many advantages of our integrated system is that the list of current clockings can be configured to print automatically as a fire roll call/register when the fire alarm sounds. This is quick and effective, and much more reliable than other manual methods such as headcounts or reading from a class register.
