Hi, I'm an information systems techie who loves a challenge. And when that challenge brings out the best in software, even better! Plus, I also like to share. [Note: all data used/displayed within my report screen prints is fictitious]

Who's on Report Today?
As a teacher you may often hear the phrase "Can you sign my report card". However, this is usually at the end of the lesson, but would have been more helpful if mentioned at the start.

Well here's a widget that may help teachers know who's actually on report based on the teachers timetable. It will highlight the current lesson too.
A pre-requisite for this widget (apart from the selected member of staff having a timetable) is the creation of an Ad-hoc group.
Simply create an Ad-hoc group called "On Report" and assign the relevant learners to that group. Alternatively, if you want to have a weekly on report log, create an Ad-hoc group with the suffix "Week XX" (e.g. "On Report Week 01") and set the start and end dates of the group to that week. The widget will only list the learners in active Ad-hoc groups so you can set-up next weeks learners who are on report in advance.

Class Dojo Learner Import Tool
Class Dojo is a fantastic tool for primary schools to record daily behaviour through a friendly graphical user interface.
To help schools set-up next years class groups, here's a simple Progresso extract report/instructions to make the process easier.
Instructions
1. After downloading and installing the report (link above), run the report for the required groups you wish to export. (Note: you can use the Academic Year parameter to access next years groups).
2. Highlight just the student names for one group (each group is on a different page if multiple groups are selected). To do this click and hold the mouse button down just before the first name and drag it to the end of the last name. Right Click on the highlighted text and select Copy.
4. Complete the Year, Subject and Name of your class and choose Next.

3. In Class Dojo select "Add a new class".
5. Select the "Copy/paste list" button within Class Dojo and then paste the students names you copied from Progresso in step 1. (There will be some line spaces in the list but they don't cause any issue).
6. Click Save and Next and then you should have your learners imported.
Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each group.
"Photos by Group (Landscape 8x4)" Report
This report has probably been done before, but I wanted my version to fit on the screen and print out perfectly (A4 Landscape). I finally managed get it to fit correctly (about 30 seconds before launching my laptop out of the window) so it prints 8 x 4.
This is a pre-test before my next experiment with photos....

"Hands up who's having school dinners"
In the latest release of Progresso is the functionality to record Meal Type choice. So here is a widget that can help the canteen know how many dinners to prepare (and how many are having other choices such as sandwiches).
Free School Meals Summary by Review Date
Here's a simple little widget that lists the FSM reviews in chronological order and highlights any that have gone past their date (in red) and the ones to be done in the next 3 weeks (in green). Oh, and if the learner doesn't have a review date then these are also highlighted (in grey).
How big are your houses?
Do you want to quickly know which house to add new learners to so that they remain balanced?
Well here's a simple learner widget showing the total number of active learners assigned to each academic house by year.

Learner SEN Summary
Want to know how many of each SEN category in the school you have? You can also expand the SEN type as seen below to view which learners have that SEN type. Here you can see that the name has been set to a hyper link that allows you to go directly to their profile from the widget. Notice also that the same colour idea has been carried forward with the review dates as seen with the SEN Summary and Review Reminder widget.
Keeping an eye on who is in school
Form tutors, with great ease this widget will allow you to view the attendance percentage for your tutees,
even providing a ranked list. Why not try and encourage some healthy
competition!
Alter the parameters/settings appropriately and this widget will also be great for Head’s of Year to keep an eye on all their learners without constantly reviewing attendance reports each week or even less regularly. Perhaps at the end of the year or each term, your SMT could view all the learners and easily identify and reward those at 100%. Remember every day counts!

Happy Birthday to you
Did you know that your MIS can help remind you of those really important dates?
Why not add the "Todays Birthdays" widget to your dashboard and set the parameters just to look at your Form/Tutor/Registration group.
Btw, the widget only looks forward 7 days and the highlighted row is the current day.
Learner Category Summary with show/hide buttons
I wanted to have an attempt at using the expand (show/hide) feature in SSRS so I wrote this little widget to summaries the total learners by category (Free School Meal, Gifted and Talented and Looked After Children).
It consists of 3 tables, the 2nd and 3rd being a summary by gender. By clicking on the + you can expand or shrink each table.
Updated: 28/02/2014 to include Pupil Premium column and totals.
