REGULAR electronic updates on children’s progress at school are to be sent to parents, as part of government plans to overhaul the traditional school report.
Parents should be able to access frequently updated, secure online information about their child’s achievement, progress, attendance and behaviour.
Communications may also be carried out via text message, school intranet or by video-conferencing.
All primary schools will be expected to have implemented ‘real-time reporting’ by 2012, two years after the target for secondary schools.
The plans were announced by Schools Minister Jim Knight at the educational technology trade show, BETT 2008.
Funding of £30 million was also announced to help low income families buy home computers and get broadband internet access to help with children’s school work.
