At Ysgol Afon Wen, we use ClassCharts to keep parents and carers informed about their pupil’s progress and well-being. Through ClassCharts, you can receive updates on attendance and behaviour.
The platform also provides letters home, school announcements, and event information. By using ClassCharts, we ensure that parents are actively involved in their child’s learning journey, fostering a collaborative approach to their development. We encourage all parents to regularly check ClassCharts for real-time updates and to stay connected with the school.
CLASSCHARTS
At Ysgol Afon Wen, we understand the importance of clear and effective communication with parents, guardians, and carers. To keep you informed about your child’s progress, activities, and school events, we use ClassCharts, an online platform that allows for easy and regular communication between the school and home.
ClassCharts provides a convenient way for parents, guardians, and carers to stay up-to-date with their child’s academic progress, behaviour, and attendance. Below are some of the key features of ClassCharts that we use to keep you informed:
ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND HOMEWORK
- Homework Notifications: Teachers will set homework tasks on ClassCharts, and parents can view these assignments, deadlines, and progress. This allows you to stay informed about what homework your child is working on and when it is due.
- Track Homework Completion: You can easily see whether your child has completed their homework and monitor their performance over time.
BEHAVIOUR AND REWARDS
- Positive Points: Teachers can award positive points for good behaviour, effort, and achievement. These points are visible to both pupils and parents on ClassCharts, providing a transparent record of positive behaviours and accomplishments.
- Behavioural Alerts: If there are any concerns regarding behaviour, such as detentions, parents will be notified through ClassCharts, allowing you to stay on top of any issues and work together with the school to address them.
ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
- Attendance Tracking: Parents can view their child’s attendance record on ClassCharts, including both absences and late arrivals. This helps ensure that any attendance concerns can be addressed promptly.
- Alerts for Absences: If your child is absent from school, you will be notified through ClassCharts, making it easier to stay informed and respond if necessary.
REPORTS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
- Progress Reports: Teachers will provide regular reports on your child’s academic performance sent home on paper, giving you an up-to-date overview of their progress in each subject and their attitude to learning in that area.
- Exams and Assessments: For pupils in Years 10 and 11, we will also provide information about upcoming exams, assessment dates, and results.
SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Weekly newsletter: Information, events and a celebration of success is shared weekly with parents and carers via ClassCharts in the form of a newsletter.
- General Notices: Important school-wide updates, events, and reminders will be sent via ClassCharts, ensuring you’re always aware of what’s happening at school, from exam schedules to school trips and extracurricular activities.
By using ClassCharts, we aim to ensure that parents, guardians, and carers are fully engaged in their child’s learning journey. The platform allows for real-time updates, quick communication, and a clear overview of your child’s progress, making it easier for you to support their academic success and well-being.
If you have not yet set up your ClassCharts account, please contact the school office, and we will be happy to provide assistance. We encourage all parents, guardians, and carers to regularly check ClassCharts for updates and engage with the platform to stay connected with the school community.
