Rewards & Consequences (from reg)

Any information that should stay within school should be put in the Internal Comments field. Don't forget to hit Apply to save the reward or consequence for the selected students.
Rewards & Consequences (individual)
If you want to enter a reward or consequence for an individual student outside of a normal class register, choose Behaviour->Behaviour Entry and then search for the student. Then enter reward or consequence as above
Entering a report comment
Enter a textual comment for the selected student. Choose 'Next' to move on to the next student. You may find it more convenient to upload comments in bulk via the Excel Import. Bromcom also supports comment banks: we will discuss setting this up with DoLs in due course.
KS4/5 reports
For KS4 and 5 reports, the acceptable grades are as above. Please make sure that you are using 9-1 for those GCSEs on the new specifications.
Finding a register
Your 'My Calendar' on your Dashboard will show your own registers to take for that day. You can also search for other registers via My Calandar, click on 'More' and then select the day, class group and session that you want to view
Taking a class register
The Class Register shows the previous attendance for your lesson in previous weeks, and the attendance of each student for that day. In the highlighted column, use '/' for present and 'N' for absent. The register will start in 'Projector mode' where SEN and other information is hidden - click the Projector icon and enter your password to show this information
Student Data
Once you have used a selector to find a student, use the menus on the left to find contact details, attendance, timetable and other key data for an individual student
Seating Plans
Configure your seating plan by dragging and dropping students into the grid. Use the cog icon to change settings and to display the appropriate current attainment and target for each student. You can also change the grid size to reflect the layout of your room.
Entering Assessment Data
Data Entry and Reports are via 'Assessment Sheets'. These will be available in the widget. Click 'More' to see the full list for those assessments you have access to. You will also get a 'nag' reminder about due assessments two days before the due date.
Completing Student Reports
The reporting assessment sheet shows data for each student in Autumn, Spring and Summer including CA, Effort, Homework, Comment etc. Note that you can now complete a full assessment sheet in Excel. Choose 'Export' and then 'CSV' format and complete gradings and comments etc in the spreadsheet. Then choose Import and load it back into the system. Be careful - this will overwrite all prior data with this copy!
KS3 reports
Note that KS3 reports include the Learning Journey and target for each student and the grade that needs to be entered is the threshold number e.g. 2.0 is Developing in Spring for year 7, 4.0 is Mastering in Autumn for Year 8. The 'On Track' column will be calculated for you based upon their expected progress for their learning journey.
