SBL Transition - Progress Reports

Transition to SBL Academy

Progress Reports

Sir Bernard Lovell Academy currently uses My Child At School to provide parents and carers with progress reports. The system provides secure, online access 24 hours a day via PC, laptop, tablet or smart phone.

How does it work?

MyChildAtSChool (MCAS) is a secure on-line system which means that you are able to log onto the website using a personal user name and password. These will be provided in September, although if you already have a child at SBL your Year 7 child will be added to the same account You will be able to see at a glance, information about home study, attendance, attainment and behaviour and be able to access all school reports on-line.

Students can access their own student portal accounts using their normal school usernames and passwords issued when they start at SBL – details of this are on our student website at students.sbllearning.org.uk. Parent and carer accounts have the ability to change personal details and book parents' evening appointments. For this reason, we recommend that parents and carers keep their username and password secure and do not share them with their children!

Individual accounts will be set up for each parent. The same information will be accessible through either parent account, so that all parents can be kept fully informed of their child’s progress. You should check the appropriate box on the Data Collection Form if you require a separate set of reports to be sent.

MCAS can be accessed from the school website homepage. Information shown on the portal includes:

Home Study – MCAS provides the facility to see home study tasks that have been set.
Attendance – You can monitor your child's attendance using the system.
Contact details – We advise parents to regularly check the accuracy of the information we hold and update us with any changes.
Academic reports - All of your child's school reports will be available via the portal, not just the latest one. You will be able to view the reports on-line, print them or save them to your own computer. You will be notified by e-mail when new reports are available. The option of receiving paper copies of reports will still be available to parents and carers preferring this method.
Lessons and Rewards– MCAS will provide you with up to the minute information about your child's lessons together with lesson timetables for future weeks. You can even see rewards issued in each lesson.
Examinations - For students taking public exams there is a section which contains information about your child's examination entries, exam timetable and exam results.
