When entering the type of training members of staff have done, it would be good to not only have the date of it completed but when it expires. The other solution would be to be able to set up alerts for that but I noticed this was declined a while ago. This could be an alternative solution..?

Being able to wrap text in a table cell so that all the data can fit in without having a very wide column. The reports then become more user friendly.

Previously, we could view an attachment in an email to parents prior to sending to ensure the correct document is attached. Please could this be reinstated to prevent mistakes.

Thanks

Every year for the Workforce cencus we need to add staff base pay. This changes every year. So currently we are manually changing the base pay figure for all staff. There isnt even a speed edit option where e can change all of them in 1 go. We have to go into each staff members file to edit and change Very very time consuming. An upload fuction similar to the sickness absence upload would save hours.

Any stored documents within a pupil record to be sent along with the CTF to the new school.

Could we email parents directly with their child's update form rather than having to run and save a report for each family then manually email them out, which is really time consuming. This would create less paperwork (which we are trying to reduce due to Coronavirus). It would also prevent any GDPR mistakes.

We currently use the communications function to compile confidential forms. The new update is not allowing us to do this for fear of parents eventually being able to view this with the Parent Portal.

It would be good to be able to do forms as well as emails and letters officially - and this would allow the option of including more than one parent name and more merge fields.

Can the safeguarding alert be more prominent RED or FLASHING so it cant be missed. Also can the notes be accessed by clicking on this icon instead of going to pupil edit and then viewing notes

Please can the Home Address be added as an option on Emergency Details sheet? This would be very beneficial if a child went missing.

Even though there is a CPR tick box, an option to choose whether a child has social care intervention (either child protection, child in need or early help). This means we can track attendance on this vulnerability group. An alert on the front screen (like the medical alert) to say CP or similar. Would be better than the Safeguarding notes as it would be reportable

Would it be possible to add another drop-down to this section with "'permission for photographs to be used on social media". We find some parents are happy for their children's photos to be used on our website but not on social media. We are having to create separate consent lists for this which is a bit frustrating. Thank you.

Can we have staff photos added under staff details please. Help non teaching staff recognise teaching staff and vice versa.

Could there be a way to show (or not show if register up in classroom) the child's current attendance %, so that if their % was below 90% we would know automatically to unauthorise absences if no evidence at time of entering on a daily basis?

Is it possible to generate an individual Staff Absence report which gives an alert when the number of days absent reaches a certain level over a 12 month period.

Update and improve the Single Central Register functionality by including Section 128, staff suitability, Safeguarding training in line with Ofsted requirements.

Most schools are moving towards paperless contact with parents. It is very time consuming to update records 1 at a time - especially when we have the information sitting on a google/excel sheet. Allowing CSV imports would mean we could update hundreds of records in one go.

I have a school that currently store all Interventions and Communications for the pupils in the Student Details, SEN, Reviews tab. Although they can print these off using the SEN Details report (which can only be produced in PDF) in Administration, they really wanted the data in a table format so that they could analyse it in Excel. The following fields requested are:

Student Name, Review Type, Review Date, Purpose, Start Time, End Time, Outcomes, SEN professional, Agency

It would be great if there was an option, when using Communicate, to be able to send a copy of emails / letters sent to parents to the teacher of the class. At the moment this has to be done separately via our school emails and does not always happen. This would really simplify the job!
