Class Charts is a piece of software used by thousands of schools across the country and will enable you to keep track of your child’s behaviour, access their weekly timetable, view assigned homework tasks and track scheduled detentions. We will also post announcements through Class Charts with important reminders and information.

All parents will have a unique login for their child. If you have more than one child, you can access Class Charts information about your children from a single, centralised parent account. Class Charts for parents can be accessed via our website, or through your iOS and Android apps. Your unique Parent Code details will be given to your child at the start of the year, if you do not receive this please contact your child’s tutor. This code is used to set up your Class Charts parent account.

Class Charts enables us to share behaviour information with parents/carers. Within the software there are a number of functions that will provide you with an overview of your child’s achievement and behaviour data within a customisable timeframe. You will be able to interrogate the system to find the detail behind each behaviour event. One of the advantages of this system is that it will provide the granular detail, including every log that is recorded. If your child’s behaviour is causing concern please contact your child’s form tutor via email in the first instance. Please be aware that many staff will see over 250 students a week so a subject-by-subject conversation over everything that is logged will not be possible. I want to reassure you that if there is an emerging concern about negative behaviour, your child’s tutor, Head of Year or a member of the schools Behaviour Team will contact you.

All homework will be set on Class Charts, this may reference to other platforms including Teams particularly for Key Stage 4 and 5, as many files have already been allocated for students to use. A guide to the homework function will also be made available on the school website.

You will see the Announcements tab when viewing your child on ClassCharts. Selecting this tab will display a list of announcements that have been shared with you regarding your child.

All staff will reward students for ‘Positive Behaviour’ through Class Charts. When you open the software, you will see the Badges tab to view the rewards for your child. Badges are a way for us to inform you when significant praise goals have been achieved. Your child will be issued with a badge when they meet the badge’s criteria. Every child will also be given a badge to wear on their school blazer
