Reading your centre's reports: the whole centre, a class, one child

1. 1Click: Is the centre healthy?
2. 2Click: Is this group keeping up?
3. 3Click: What does this child need?
4. 4Click: Which group is drifting?

These are not four filters on one screen. Each one is shaped around a question somebody actually asks: the owner wants to know whether the centre is healthy, a teacher wants to know whether a group is keeping up, and neither is answered well by the other's screen.

1. 1Notice: On roll
2. 2Notice: Marked work, not logins
3. 3Notice: Out of forty
4. 4Click: Change the window

Students, classes, pieces submitted and the average mark. Nothing here counts logins or time on site, because a centre cannot bill for attention and a parent cannot be shown it. Submitted means completed and marked; the average is out of forty and is the same figure the child's own report shows.

1. 1Notice: The shape behind the average
2. 2Notice: Who has written anything at all

An average of 29 out of 40 hides two completely different centres: one where everyone is near 29, and one with a strong half and a struggling half. The band split is the answer to that, and it is the number worth watching month to month — a centre doing its job moves children between bands, not the mean by a decimal point.

1. 1Notice: Six months, not one

A single month tells you nothing: half terms, mock weeks and holidays all move the count. Six months of bars is the smallest window in which a real drop looks different from the usual dip, and the class table underneath says which group it came from.

1. 1Click: Open a group
2. 2Notice: A tutor would see only their own

A tutor opening this page sees only the groups they own; an admin sees all of them. That narrowing happens in the database query rather than in what is drawn, so a tutor's browser never receives another group's figures in the first place.

1. 1Notice: Fair across group sizes
2. 2Notice: Weak at everything, or at one thing?
3. 3Notice: The spread inside the group

Submissions alone reward a big class. Per student is the honest version: it says whether this group is writing, regardless of how many of them there are. The band split and the task types beside it answer the follow-up — is the whole group weak, or is it weak at one kind of task?

1. 1Notice: One row per child
2. 2Notice: Quiet for three weeks?

The table is where a class report stops being a number and becomes a to-do list. Last submission is the column most worth sorting by: a child whose average is fine but who has written nothing for three weeks is the one to ring home about, and no average would ever have shown that.

1. 1Type in: Find a child
2. 2Click: Open their report

This is the screen a tutor opens five minutes before a parents' evening. It is deliberately plain: a search box and a class filter, because the thing being looked for is always a specific child by name.

1. 1Notice: Where they usually land
2. 2Notice: What they can do at their best
3. 3Notice: Which way it is going

Best score next to average is the pairing that matters at a parents' evening: it is the difference between a child who cannot yet do it and a child who can do it when they concentrate. Those two conversations are nothing alike, and one number could not tell them apart.

1. 1Notice: Strong at one kind, weak at another

The list underneath is the evidence. A parent asking "why is that the average?" can be shown the actual pieces, with dates and task types — which is also how a tutor spots that the two low marks were both persuasive writing rather than a bad month.

1. 1Notice: Year against year
2. 2Notice: Group against group

The comparison a centre cannot make from four separate class reports opened in four tabs. A year group well below the others is either a teaching problem or an intake problem, and either way it is worth knowing in October rather than in June.

1. 1Notice: Getting better, or standing still

The last panel asks a different question from everything above it: not how good the work is, but whether it is getting better. A centre with a modest average that rises every month is doing its job; one with a high average that has not moved since September may simply have selective admissions.
