ClassCharts

Classcharts

Class Charts is an online system which staff at Selston High School use to track achievement and behaviour throughout the school day. We believe in working closely with parents and one of the key benefits of using Class Charts is that we are able to securely share your Child’s achievement and behaviour report with you and so keep you up to date in real-time. As an school we also use Class Charts to set student’s homework and award positive behaviour points to reward our students for their efforts.

Each child has a unique access code which they will be given, we will issue parents their own unique code in a letter.

It is vital as part of your child’s education that they have access to their Class Charts account. By regularly logging in to Class Charts students will be able to see any homework they have been set, track their behaviour and be rewarded for their achievements both in and outside of school.

Once you have been issued with a code you will need to create an account and enter the code at the link below:
