By September 2008 all secondary schools will be expected to provide information to parents covering achievement, progress, attendance, behavior and special needs, on a timely and frequent basis – this should be at least once per term.

By September 2010 all secondary schools will need to offer parents real-time access to this information (including the opportunity for secure online access) wherever they are and whenever they want.

Understanding Becta’s on-line reporting

Online reporting means parents have secure online access to information on their child’s progress, achievement, attendance, behaviour and special educational needs, when and where they please. This means an improvement to the way schools communicate with parents.

Parents and learners should be provided with online access to information about:

Attendance and behaviour (both positive and challenging);Progress and attainment;Special needs.

The online reporting expectation does not therefore replace face-to-face and direct engagement, nor does it duplicate or replace the existing statutory requirement to report to parents annually, but will provide parents with up-to-date information at appropriate points through the year to maintain their interest and enable a richer dialogue ...... Ministers are content at this stage not to specify the frequency of reporting, and schools will have the flexibility to determine what frequency best suits both the school and their parents and learners”
