Our School

ClassCharts

Class Charts is an online system which teachers use to track achievement and behaviour throughout the school day. We believe in working closely with parents/guardians and one of the key benefits of using Class Charts is that we are able to securely share your child(s) achievement and behaviour report with you and so keep you up to date in real-time.

Class Charts is used to share information with parents/guardians about:

  • Two-Way Messaging
  • Homework
  • Achievement Points
  • Behaviour Points
  • Attendance
  • Reporting absences
  • Timetable
  • Detention
  • On-Report cards
  • School Announcements
  • School Trip/Activities Consent Forms

What is Class Charts for Parents?

You will be able to use Class Charts to keep track of your pupil’s achievements, access behaviour reports and track scheduled detentions.

Class Charts will also be used for all school communications including your child’s Year Office and Teachers.

If you have more than one child at the school, or multiple schools, you can use the same parent account to view achievement data for all your children.

Class Charts for parents can be accessed via our website, or by our iOS and Android apps.

You can also access the parent web portal and links to the parent apps at:
