Child Protection Policies and Procedures April 2019

Most parents are probably familiar with written school reports which provide information and details of how their child is progressing across all aspects of the curriculum, and indicating next steps in learning. At Bishopbriggs Academy, however, we, in common with other EDC schools, utilise an electronic reporting system called SEEMIS Click and Go.

Teachers within EDC are now able to prepare reports electronically using the SEEMIS integrated school management information system, known as Click and Go. This package addresses all aspects of school administration including attainment information, attendance and timetabling. Teachers using Click and Go are able to build a detailed and accurate report giving more information about each child throughout the session, and indicating next steps in learning in all areas of the curriculum. The information recorded using the system concerning the progress or behaviour of a pupil can, therefore, be shared more accurately with parents and other agencies more easily.
