(Your School) Edition

 

Interested in revolutionizing your school's reporting policy?

 

We build custom systems for schools, these can be tailored to your exact requirements.

Below are some advantages.

 

Save your teachers years of work

The average teacher spends 5 work days a year writing report comments, that time quickly adds up to over a year's worth of work in a typical school. Imagine what your school could achieve by saving 90% of that time.

 

Transform reporting consistency between staff

It can be difficult to align every teacher's report writing style with your reporting policy. By using our system, consistency improves across the whole school. Teachers still build their own comments into the system and are able to show their personality, but key data is always referred to and reports always include what's required.

 

Remove human error from the process

School leaders spend time checking reports for errors in student names and grammar. The Reports Machine never misses a beat, it doesn't get tired and will always produce 100% perfectly written report comments. 

 

Support non-native English speaking staff

International schools often have non-native English speaking teachers, these staff can find getting their reports right more difficult. Our system can support them and allow them to build comment banks alongside the native-speakers in your school, leading to perfect reports written across the school. 

 

Check the reports before they're written

As the comment banks are built ahead of time, school leaders can check these instead of reading thousands of comments at the last minute. This flips the whole reporting process and allows staff and leaders to consider what will be in their reports before they've even met their classes.
