School Admin Teacher Parent StudentReports shows attendance across a date range, rankings per subject, and the top students. Students and parents follow results year by year on Progress.
Before you start

- An academic session is marked current. See Academic sessions.
- Attendance has been marked. See Attendance.
- Exams have papers with marks. See Examinations.
Where to find it

|---|---|

The Reports page covers the unit chosen in the top-bar picker ("Results and attendance across <unit> and everything under it.").
Attendance report
- Choose Reports → Attendance Reports.
- Pick the unit in the top bar.
- Set From (default 30 days ago) and To (default today). If several sessions exist, choose which session's class list to use.
- Read the table: Student, Class, Present, Late, Absent, Presence. Presence is green at 90% or more, amber at 75% or more, red below 75%.
- To download, click Export CSV. The button shows "Building…", then "Attendance report downloaded." If it fails ("Couldn't build that export. Try a shorter range."), shorten the date range.
Subject rankings
- Choose Reports → Subject Rankings.
- Choose an exam. The first exam that has marks is picked for you. Optionally choose a subject (default Every subject).
- Each paper shows a card with the rank, student, marks out of the maximum, and percentage.
Toppers
- Choose Reports → Toppers.
- Filters: session (This year, shown when there is more than one session), exam (Whole year, weighted, or one exam), and Top 10, Top 25 or Top 50.
- Columns: #, Student, Class, Exams counted, Result. Click a student to open their progress.
Students whose results are incomplete are left out. Tied students share a rank. The whole-year view weights each exam by the Weight set on the exam.
Progress (for students and parents)
My Institution → Progress shows a card per session with the weighted percentage. It shows each exam ("N of M papers marked · marks/max"), the grade, and per-subject marks. A parent with more than one child gets a picker. Families see published exams only.
Progress appears in the sidebar only for people linked to at least one student. Grade letters appear only if grade bands exist for the session.
