School Apps

Class Charts

This is an online and app based platform we use in the secondary phase that allows you to:

• View praise and behaviour comments
• Track attendance
• Report Absence & medical appointments
• Check homework
• View detentions
• Receive notifications/letters/updates etc

There is a separate log-in for parents/carers and learners.

Parental/carer involvement in their child's learning through the App has been proven to aid learning and positive behaviour.

Things to look out for:

• If you find that your child takes either much more or much less than the time prescribed to complete their homework, you should speak to the Form Tutor.  You can do this via the messaging tool.
• Check that the time claimed to be spent on homework matches the amount of work produced or reading completed.
• If your child states that no homework has been set, or regularly maintains that they have done the homework at school, you should raise the matter with the Form Tutor.  it is most likely that all homework can be done in school to a satisfactory standard.
• If your child does not bring home their exercise or textbook in a given subject, ask the reason and follow up if necessary.
• Research work should be presented in students' own words, not copied verbatim from sources.  Mere printing out of source material from resources including books, CD Roms or websites is unacceptable.  Guidance is given to students about plagiarism and correct referencing, from the time they enter the school in Year 7.

Class Charts Communication Tool

Class Charts Communication enables you to interact with school via the app:

• Report absences and appointments
• Respond to messages alerting you to your child's absence, if no reason has been given.
• Communicate with your child's form tutor, who should be your first port of call for all queries/concerns.
