OPEN MENU Home > Parents > Parent Portals Parent Portals Our four Core Apps allow parents/carers to access real time information regarding their child’s home learning, attendance and rewards and sanctions: Red Kite: Homework4 Parent Planner The Homework4 Parent Planner provides student reports, their timetable, description of homework tasks and deadlines set by teachers. It also displays current attendance for the year and details on rewards and sanctions gained through our ClassCharts software (see below). Sign in to the Parent Planner using the link below and the e-mail address you use to receive all communications from the School: Homework4 planner We have developed our student reports to make them comprehensive, informative and to provide a broader picture of each student. They include attendance, attitude to learning, progress and class charts information all in one place. For guidance on how to access the report please see this instructional video: Classcharts: Positive Achievement System Rewards and sanctions are issued through ClassCharts, accessible through the internet for both students and parents. Parents can monitor the number and type of reward or sanction their child receives over time. New parents will receive their parent code to log-in to ClassCharts once Year 7 students have been issued with their iPads. Students are awarded ‘positives’ for their work and attitude to learning in and out of the classroom, together with their conduct around school. ClassCharts also provides parents with a record of their child’s attendance.
