Meet the needs of your students

Tes Class Charts helps teachers identify student needs at a glance. With 16 data fields and the ability to highlight progress groups, such as SEN, Pupil Premium, Free School Meals, and Gifted & Talented, teachers can quickly pinpoint who needs extra support or an extra challenge by analysing the comprehensive student data.

The Red Amber Green (RAG) system makes it simple to see at a glance who is excelling, meeting targets, or falling behind.

Unique influences

Class Charts’ exclusive influences tool creates seating plans based on student interactions, helping new staff and NQTs establish a positive classroom dynamic from day one, regardless of classroom layout.  

Once enough behaviour activity has been logged in the classroom management tool, staff members will be able to track how students influence each other in their classes. Keep friends who work well together side by side and give those who need a bit of space the distance to focus.
