SmartSchools / School reports

Report cards done before the last day of term.

Teachers enter marks once. SmartSchools calculates totals and positions, applies your grading rules and templates, and produces every report card ready to print or send.

Free for a full term. Your own templates and grading rules. No credit card.

The current way

Report card week is the same crisis every term

The marks exist. The problem is everything that happens between the marks and a report card a parent can read.

Current way
Each teacher keeps marks in their own spreadsheet or exercise book.
Consequence
Someone spends days collecting, retyping and re‑checking them.
Bigger problem
Every retype is a chance for a wrong mark to reach a parent under your school's name.
Current way
Totals, averages and positions are calculated by hand or by fragile formulas.
Consequence
Errors surface late — sometimes after the reports have gone home.
Bigger problem
Corrections after the fact cost you the credibility the report card is supposed to carry.
Current way
Report cards are formatted, printed and distributed manually.
Consequence
The last week of term becomes printing and collation instead of teaching.
Bigger problem
Some reports go home late or not at all, and parents lose the one document that shows progress.

How it works with SmartSchools instead

From marks entry to finished reports, in one pass

Teachers do the part only teachers can do. The system does the arithmetic and the formatting, and you decide how the reports reach parents.

Set up
Your grading rules and template, not a generic one
We configure your subjects, weighting between continuous assessment and exams, grade boundaries, comment sets and the report card layout your school already uses.
Your grade boundaries
CA & exam weighting
Your layout
Result
Reports come out looking like your school's reports.
Eliminate
No collecting, retyping or re‑checking marks
Each teacher enters marks for their own subject and class directly. Nothing is retyped, and you can see at a glance which subjects are still outstanding.
Entry per subject
Missing‑marks view
No retyping
Result
The collection stage of report week disappears.
Automate
Totals, grades, positions and comments calculated
Averages, subject grades, class positions and progress against last term are computed the moment marks are in — and stay correct when a mark is amended.
Positions & averages
Progress vs last term
Amendment‑safe
Result
Arithmetic errors stop reaching parents.
Only here
Reports built from the same records as fees and attendance
Attendance figures and remarks come from the live record, so a report card reflects the term as it actually happened — no cross‑checking between systems.

One consistent story per learner, term after term.

Worried about your report cards?

Fair enough — parents judge the school by them. Here's how SmartSchools keeps your format, your grading and your teachers' routine intact.

You might be thinking
“Our report card format is specific and non‑negotiable.”
What we do
Your own report card becomes the template.
Upload or photograph a current report card. We reproduce its structure — subjects, sections, comments, signatures — before your teachers enter a single mark.
Template configuration included in setup.
You might be thinking
“Teachers won't adopt another system mid‑year.”
What we do
Marks entry is one screen per subject.
A teacher opens their class, types marks down the column and saves. We walk your staff through it in a short session, no course required.
Staff walkthrough during setup, support through the term.
You might be thinking
“What if the calculations are wrong?”
What we do
Run a full term in parallel, free.
Produce your reports in SmartSchools alongside your current method for one term and compare. If the numbers don't match your rules, you owe nothing.
One full term free. No card, no contract.
