AnonyMouse_54006 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I am looking at the 'Report' section and trialling it for our end of term reports to parents. However, I do not wish for them to be able to see the 'age band's. So was wondering if this was a feature that could be added? Thanks, Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 i suspect that if you look in your settings page that if you take off the age bands that they wouldn't show up...but haven't done it so not sure!. Give it a go...you can always reset it if it doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyTapestrySupport Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi Helen, Can I ask why you don't want parents to see the age bands on your reports? Best wishes, Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_54006 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thanks finsleymaid I'll take another look there. Emily It will be the first time trying it and I'm still umming ansd ahhing about it as there are certain parents who won't like it, but it might make what we've actually been telling them more blaak and white. Management haven't played it yet, I was just testing it out and didn't know if there was an option as we do reports every half term (school reception class) and there will be lots who wil obviously be in the same age band for numerous reports, so will look like to parents that they haven't made any progress....so if there was the option to not always report the band's that would be good.

BenTapestrySupport Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I understand your reasons on why you would want to not share the age bands, but I always found that it opened up the conversations with the parents and actually made some more engaged as it was, as you say, very clear in front of them, what you tell them. Only once did I have a parent question an age band, and when I explained why, they were fine and in fact, provided evidence from home that helped me to change the overall assessment (it was a speaking one for a child who never really spoke in class but was very vocal at home). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_54006 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Thanks. Yes I can see this being a good way for parents to actually find evidence and share things from home if they are not 'happy' with the age bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
