Student Reports – Go4Schools
October 2012
As part of our commitment to sharing information about students’ progress on a regular basis we are
introducing a new on-line reporting system. The package allows parents to see regular assessment data as
well as written reports and other information including attendance figures.
Parents can access this regular assessment data on-line via Go4Schools. This internet-based package allows
parents/carers to see:
Current Grades
These reflect the regular assessments that teachers have used to assess progress during that half–term
(for KS5 this will be a grade A*-E; for KS4 it will be a grade A*-G; for KS3 it will be a National
Curriculum sub-level). The current grade is cumulative and is weighted using the key assessments
throughout the year.
Target Grades
These are based on externally-set Fischer Family Trust national database target grades or teacher targets
if higher.
Projected Grades
These reflect a student's potential and are not automatically calculated using students’ assessment as in
current grades above.
Written Reports
Once a year for each year group, students will receive a written report containing information about
progress and targets for improvement.
For more information regarding Go4Schools, please refer to our help guides on the school website (these
will be available after half-term when we launch the system).
Logging on to Go4Schools
To log on to Go4Schools go to: https://www.go4schools.com/parents/
If you have not yet registered, you will need to log on as a first time user. Type in your email address
that is registered with the school (e.g. firstname.surname@gmail.com) and request a

password. You will receive a password to your registered email account (e.g. your gmail
account), after which you can use your registered email and newly supplied password to log on to the
Go4Schools parent site. You can then change your password to something more
memorable using the ‘My Settings’ section of the website.
You will only be able to see information relating to your child(ren).
If you have not registered your email address with King Edward VI School, you will not be able to log on
to the website.
We hope you will find having access to regular information on-line about your child useful
and informative. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries regarding our new reporting
system
Yours sincerely
Peter Hurry
Assistant Headteacher - Curriculum
