The classroom board

One tile for each child with their house mascot and points. It runs on the board at the front, a laptop or a tablet. Automatic points can flow through the day for children who are on task, and pause without anything being taken away.

Saves: sticker charts, tally sheets and the Friday count.

Awards and milestones

Spark knows your award levels, from the first certificate to the Head of School Award. It lists who is due, prints the certificate and keeps the record of who has been presented.

Saves: keeping award lists by hand and missing a child who earned one.

The KHDA summary

Phase 1 and Phase 2 by subject, with the share of pupils in line with and above curriculum standards and the indicative judgement. Change what counts as above standard and the table recalculates.

Saves: turning internal data into KHDA’s format by hand, under time pressure.
