Class Charts for Parents
Our school has set up the Class Charts system, to enable parents/carers to keep track of:
- your child’s behaviour
- their weekly timetable
- assigned homework tasks
- announcements
- your child's achievements
- scheduled detentions.
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 the website www.classcharts.com, or through the iOS and Android apps which are free to download.
You will be given a parent code to set up your Class Charts parent account. There are guides available below, but should you need any further assistance please contact us. Your child will have be given a code to access their account and will be supported in using this system in school. It is an excellent system to keep you informed and we ask that you check it as regularly as possible, ideally each school day.
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 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.
You can access the parent website and links to the parent apps here: PARENT LOGIN.
