Classroom Monitor This is an online tool for managing the curriculum and its assessment, tracking pupil progress and reporting to parents. As a school, we are committed to ensuring we have effective communication with parents and carers and we realise how this can make a big difference to our pupils realising their potential. The Classroom Monitor program helps us to involve you as parents and carers with your child’s learning. Our report-writing tool clearly links assessment scores to meaningful descriptions and achievements. We are hoping to roll the ‘Parents’ Module’ out in the Spring term.
