Ideas

It would be very useful if, on the new Cloud Parent Portal, we were able to make small tweaks to customise it for our school. Example 1 - on the Dashboard page after logging on there are widgets for the children showing attendance, timetable and d...

It would be more useful to be able to exclude individual sets from report cycles if they are not needed. This would make it easier for staff as they would only see the ones that they actually need to write, and also for admin to keep check on whic...

If a teacher is busy period 1, 3 and 5, for example, I have to enter three 'absences' separately, with start and end times all manually input. This is a waste of time. The manage cover sheet shows all parts of the day to allow you to set cover: if...

Some external assessments eg BTEC Level 3 Nationals external units do not have the date, time and duration on the exam board base data as they are centre timetabled (within a window). I can add the date and start time manually in the Programme Tim...

The new examination arrangements feature places the different examination arrangements in what superficially appears to be a random order. Having this list in alphabetical order would make it much easier to locate items. Even better would be if we...

The Candidate Arrangements Export has recently been updated, when we download it in Excel it appears with ticks now instead of the old wording which was set to Yes . We are a Google school, so use Google Sheets, when we open this file in Google Sh...

There are some fields within the system that are either not relevant to our setting (e.g. Boarding House) or that we do not use (e.g. School Age) that we would like to be able to hide/remove from the user interface to make the system easier to use...
