How it works · School
The school report, read and remembered
School reports arrive as PDFs and get filed. Fincho reads them, keeps the trend per subject, and uses the grades where they matter: target setting, what a sixth form will ask for, and the conversation about what to do next.
Real screens from the app, test accounts only, captured from an English student's account. The panels are the same here, with your own courses and grades in them.
A two-page autumn report
Cerys uploads both pages. Pip reads the legend on page one first, whatever her school uses, then every subject row, and shows a table for her to check. She taps Looks right. The grades sync to her subjects, and the school's format is remembered for next time and for classmates.
Then Pip talks it through: three things that stand out, two to keep an eye on, and a question rather than a verdict. Maths and Welsh both read like a routine problem, not an ability one.
Any school's codes
A* to G, working towards or secure, or the school's own tracking scale. Pip reads the legend and learns the format once per school.
Check before it counts
Nothing is saved until the student confirms the table. Misreads are fixed in the panel.
Trend, not snapshot
Each report adds a point per subject. Change since last time is shown beside the grade.
Used where it matters
Grades feed practice priorities, the Year 10 view of which subjects stay open after 16, and the weekly report to parents.
What parents see
You see the grade table and trend for each child, exactly as confirmed. This is one of the few things both of you see.
More of what Fincho does
- Daily planEvery Sunday Pip drafts the week from the timetable, homework and weak spots. Every morning: three things for the time you have. Done means a twig on the nest.
- Schoolwork reviewTell Pip the score, show it the paper. It reads the wrong answers, spots that three mistakes are one habit, explains the costly one, and remembers the rest for practice.
- PracticeQuestions in your awarding body's style, never copied from a past paper, marked point by point against a mark scheme. Hint first, answer last. Wrong ones come back with new numbers.
- Exam pathMocks, subject choices at 14, applications at 16, exam weeks, results days, university deadlines: a timeline from this year to leaving school, built from national dates and the school's own calendar.
- FutureYear 9 subject choices, post-16 choices at Year 11, the Skills Baccalaureate, and university applications. Pip asks more than it tells, checks what feels easy against what scores well, and shows what each route requires, with the source.
