Parents Portal – Reports

Yesterday we sent out the S2 Full Reports through the Parents Portal so if your young person is in S2 and you are signed up to the portal please do check it. On this occasion, those without access to the portal were issued with a paper copy of the report. Going forward we would like to use the Parents Portal as the main method for issuing reports, so we encourage everyone who hasn’t already done so, to sign up. If you require support in setting this up the office staff will be more than happy to assist you.
