Parents Read in Under a Minute
A clear summary of how your child is tracking against their weekly target — minutes worked, achievement percentage, and an 8-week trend at a glance. One email per family, every child included.

This is exactly what lands in a parent’s inbox once a week. A clear summary per child, with the 8-week trend showing the bigger picture. (Full subject-by-subject detail lives in the parent portal — covered in the next section.)
School-branded header
Your school’s name and branding at the top of every email — parents see who it’s from before they read a word.
Per-child summary
Minutes worked, weekly target, and achieved percentage — calculated automatically. One card per child, all in the same email.
Status banner
A clear flag — Below target, On track, or Above target — so parents see the headline before any numbers.
8-week trend chart
Colour-coded points show the past 8 weeks at a glance — green, amber and red dots with a 100% target line. The pattern, not just the snapshot.
Per-Subject Detail for the Last 7 Days
Once a parent logs into the portal, the email summary opens up into a full subject-by-subject breakdown — every metric the school tracks, all in one place.
Grade level
Current grade out of total available — e.g. “5.2 / 9.0” means the child is performing at Grade 5.2 with Grade 9 as the ceiling.
Learning velocity
Grades gained per year of work. A velocity of 1.0 means the child is progressing at the expected pace — higher is acceleration.
Time vs target
Minutes worked over the period, with the school’s target shown beneath. The percentage pill makes the comparison instant.
Benchmark
Most recent grade-level benchmark passed and the score achieved. “N/A” means no benchmark assigned for that subject yet.
Up to 52 Weeks of Achievement, on One Graph
The portal’s long-range view. Every week’s achievement percentage plotted against the 100% target line — colour-coded so the pattern jumps out before the numbers do.
100% target line
The horizontal reference — anything above the line means the child exceeded their weekly target; below means they fell short.
Colour-coded data points
Each week is plotted as a dot — green for strong weeks, amber for borderline, red for shortfalls. The pattern is readable at a glance.
Long-range pattern
A bad week looks different from a bad term. The graph shows whether you’re looking at a blip or a trend — context that the email can’t give.
Who has access: parents see their child’s graph; in a school setting, teachers see the same view scoped to their class. Same data, different scope — built so parents and teachers are working from the same picture.
Two Ways to Access the Same Truth
The Friday email is the snapshot. The portal is the deep history. Same data, different jobs.
The weekly email
Lands every Friday afternoon. Fully self-contained — open, read, done.
- Per-child summary — minutes worked, target hit, achievement %
- Status banner — colour-coded: on track, behind, ahead
- 8-week trend chart — visual context, not just this week
“I get the email Friday at 4pm. By 4:05 I know exactly how the week went.”
The portal — deep history
For when you want more than this week. Parents see their family; school teachers see their class.
- Per-subject 7-day breakdown — minutes, velocity, progress per subject
- Up to 52-week trend graph — full year of data, not 8 weeks
- Last and highest benchmark — per-subject mastery score in the summary table
“When I want to see how the term has gone — not just this week — the portal is where I go.”
Who has access: the email and portal both reach parents (homeschool and school) and school teachers. Teachers see their full class in one Friday email and can drill into individual student history in the portal — same data parents see, scoped to the class they teach.
The week, summarised — for everyone who needs to know
The weekly progress report is one of five reports in the system. It tells you the what — what your child worked on this week, whether they hit their target, and how the trend looks over the past 8 weeks. Friday afternoon, every week, no chasing required.
In a school setting, the same email lands in each teacher’s inbox — but showing their entire class in one summary view. Teachers also have portal access, scoped to their class, to drill into individual student history. Same data, same interface as parents see — they just have visibility across all the students they teach.
Parents and teachers, on the same page — automatically
When parents already know how their child is doing, they stop emailing the teacher to ask. Teachers walk into Monday already knowing what every parent saw on Friday. No more parent-teacher information gap, no more weekly status emails to write — the system writes them and sends them, scoped correctly to each audience.
The other reports give you context. The parent benchmark email tells you the real mastery, not just minutes. The celebration email surfaces the wins. The end-of-term report card tells you the whole story. Behind the benchmarks: the Teacher Benchmark Tool, where teachers manage assignments. Five reports, no overlap, no gaps.
