Frequently asked questions

A Primary School Report is a report that is written by teachers and the end of a school term. Typically they are written at the end of a school year. The report details the progress of the pupils for given subjects. You can view our report template that we use in our application.

Writing a school report can be difficult and time consuming for teachers, particularly if using Word Templates or equivalent. Using the intuitive interfaces designed by teachers, we have built a simple and effective school reporting application to help teachers to complete their reports with a minimum of fuss.

This online school reporting application was exclusively designed by teachers and senior staff at Bonner Primary School in London in 2012. The teachers were consulted throughout the entire development process and were also involved in the testing of Phase 1 & 2. Phase 2 of the implementation involved teachers and senior staff from Globe Primary School in London. Phase 3 involved 8 new schools in London. It is designed to be simple and save time while ensuring security of the data. 60 teachers contributed to the initial development of the reporting tool. Since the launch of the application, many other schools have contributed to the design and development to help teachers complete their reports simply and quickly.

It is estimated that teachers can save up to 50% of normal reporting time compared with using word templates or equivalent.

The teachers comment bank is a library of useful comment bank statements for specific subjects, levels and year groups. The comments in our application have been written by primary school teachers and can be useful in completing a subject for a pupil. The school administrator has the option of making it available for teachers as some schools may prefer not to use it.

The teachers comments in the comment bank are written for both the Pupil and the Parent. The administrator can chose which perspective the school reports are written for in the administrator section.

Yes. Teachers can add a comment to their own comment bank and can use it for all pupils throughout the reporting writing. A big time saver.
