Using filters to analyse your report
Most popular spreadsheet software allows you to easily filter and sort the data in your spreadsheet
You can use these features to help you to analyse the data in your student activity report
For example, in Microsoft Excel you can:
Use the dropdown arrows to the right of each column header to filter or sort the rows
Hide entire rows and/or columns that you are not interested in, in order to see a more streamlined view by right-clicking on the column letter or row number and selecting "Hide column/row"

Homework Statistics Page
Homework Statistics Page
The Homework Statistics Page can be found via the button on the Reporting page. It features a line chart and table format where you can track and compare weekly homework all-time completion across all weeks in this academic year.
You can view the data for your classes ('my classes'), all classes or specific classes within a year group, by year group and whole school.
On the Whole School view, you can see the percentage of the hand in pages that have been viewed by their assigned class teacher and on the Class view, you can select the tick box to show assigned teachers & hand-in view percentages.
This details is also summarised at the top of the page, showing if this percentage has improved or not. Our studies consistently show that viewing the hand-in page before the deadline, results in a much higher completion rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my student activity report taking a long time to download?
Why is my student activity report taking a long time to download?
Adding more data categories will mean that the report takes longer to generate. The report can also take longer to generate later in the school year when there's more data to process. If you're a larger school and generate a report containing all data categories towards the end of the school year, the report could take up to 2 minutes to generate.
How does the date filter work?
How does the date filter work?
The student activity report reports by week. It's not possible to generate a report for a time period of less than a week. When you select a start and end date for the report, we'll include data for the full weeks that encompass your selected dates.
Can I add SEND data to the reports?
Can I add SEND data to the reports?
We don't include SEND data in any reports. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) consider such data to be 'special category data', which needs more protection than other categories of data.
