Principal features

Absence control including  attendance statements, lateness recording, reasons for absence, authorised and unauthorised. Records are held and accounted for at the half-day level and cater for mixed year registration classes where appropriate.

A record of any pupil injuries/warnings that may be incurred at school.

Inexpensive dumb terminals or PC’s in each class electronically collect all information or even a simple form can be printed to allow the teachers to record attendance and absence manually, plus reasons for absence, if known. The form also records any money collected from pupils together with the purpose for the money such as lunch or books. This form can then be used to easily key-enter the information into the system.

“Back-office” functions allow any of the automatic processes to be overridden or reversed. For example a pupil who is present for morning registration is assumed to require lunch, may go home early. In this case the lunch could be credited back. Also an unauthorised absence at registration may be subsequently resolved when the parents phone later with an explanation.

A printed list of pupils currently at school can be produced at any time during or after registration in case of emergency, to ensure that all pupils can be accounted for.

A printed catering list of all school meals required can be produced, detailing numbers of lunches free and paid or sandwiches by class and in total.

Annual reports are printed automatically with a covering letter and attendance statement. The system can contain a large number of standard clauses which describe a pupils abilities and progress. These clauses are arranged by subject so that the teacher can assemble the report by selecting the appropriate clause or clauses from a pick-window for the pupil under review. Free text is also available for the teacher to add their own comments.

Standard or custom letters or labels can be produced automatically to parents or guardians, and can be selected for a single pupil, class, year or all classes.

A full suite of reports for planning  costing and general information is included.

Individual diary note pad for each pupil for diarised activities.

Single user, Multi-user and Network ready.
