Character development with a record, not just recollection

Achievements, conduct breaches, and pastoral progress recorded and visible to parents

Conduct notes have traditionally lived in a form teacher's notebook, and achievements were only remembered when a competition came around. Once both are captured in the same system, pastoral work stops depending on who happens to remember — and parents see how their child is doing without being called in.

  • Achievements and conduct breaches recorded with dates and detail
  • Pastoral progress tracked alongside them
  • Open to parents through the app

What you get

  • Not dependent on one teacher

    Records live in the system, not in a form teacher's private notebook. When a form teacher changes, a child's pastoral history stays intact.

  • Achievements do not evaporate

    Student accomplishments are documented across the year, giving a basis when the school writes a reference or selects a representative for a competition.

  • Parents join the effort

    Because records are open in the app, parents know earlier and can help address things — rather than being told only once a problem has grown.

  • Progress you can see

    The progress module shows how pastoral work is developing, so improvement in behaviour reads as a process rather than a single incident.

In the app

Three records that complete each other

Parents open all three from the Student Affairs menu in the CARDS app.

FAQ

Questions about Achievements & Conduct

Are all conduct records immediately visible to parents?
How openly records are shared follows your school's policy. Either way, they are stored in the system so follow-up does not rest on one teacher's memory.
Is there a points system?
The weighting of achievements and conduct breaches, and what follows from them, is configured to match your school's pastoral rules during implementation.
Who is allowed to add a record?
Permission to add records is set through user settings, so only the roles you authorise — a form teacher or counsellor, for instance — can fill them in.
