Printing a report for a parent

Print the same progress report a family sees, what it shows, and how your own name replaces ours on it.

The short version Open a student and press Print report at the top of their page. Your browser's own print dialogue opens, so you can send it to a printer or save it as a PDF and attach it to an email yourself. It is one page: the headline figures, a trend line, the topics going well, the topics worth a bit more time, and a few questions worth going back over. A student with fewer than two completed tests gets a short version instead — that is deliberate, not a fault.

Printing a report

Open the student

From your student list, click the student. Print report sits at the top of their page, alongside Invite a parent and Get a join code.
Press it and wait a moment

The report is built from the practice that has reached your account, then your browser's print dialogue opens by itself. Most browsers offer a Save as PDF destination in that same dialogue, which is what you want if you are emailing it rather than handing over paper.
Print or save, then close the dialogue

Only the report prints — none of the console around it, no menus, no student list. When you close the dialogue the report disappears from the screen again. Nothing is stored, emailed or shared by pressing the button; whether the parent ever sees it is entirely your decision.

If a session from this morning is missing A child's device sends completed tests up when it is online, and holds on to them when it is not. A test finished on a device that was offline arrives the next time they open the app with a connection. Your report shows what has arrived, so if you are printing minutes after a lesson on a patchy connection, it is worth checking the test count against what you watched them do.

Reading what the report says

The top of the page carries the child's first name and today's date, under either your own business name or logo, or — if you have not set up branding — the child's own name.

Then three figures, taken from everything that student has ever answered: overall accuracy, tests completed, and their English and Maths accuracy side by side. These are the same numbers the child sees on their own screen and a parent sees in the portal, worked out the same way, so the printed page can never quietly contradict either of them.

Below that:

Panel	What is in it
Accuracy over time	Their last 20 tests, oldest to newest, with the dates. A round mark is ordinary practice; a diamond is a mock exam.
Your superpowers	Up to three topics they are scoring 80% or better on. If nothing qualifies yet, the panel says so kindly rather than sitting empty.
Needs a little focus	Up to three topics under 60%. A topic only appears in either panel once it has at least three answers behind it, so one unlucky question can never put a topic on this list.
Worth a second look	Up to five of the questions they most recently got wrong, each with the correct answer, and the paper and question number where it came from one.

The page closes with a line saying that "Needs a little focus" is not a grade, it just shows where a bit more practice will help most. That line is on the page for the parent, and it is worth saying out loud as well.

A question that has changed since it was answered is left out Before printing a question in Worth a second look, the report checks that the question still reads exactly as it did on the day it was answered. If it has been edited since — a wording fix, a corrected answer — it is quietly dropped from the list instead. That is why the list is sometimes shorter than the number of questions you know they got wrong: a report that printed a question next to an answer that no longer matches it would send a parent away with the wrong thing memorised.

Nothing else of yours appears on the page. Your tutor notes are never printed on it, and neither are group names — a group is your own bookkeeping and is never shown to a family.

Why a new student's report is short

A student with fewer than two completed tests gets a different, much shorter page. It is headed Just getting started, names the child, says how many tests they have done so far, and says that once there are a couple more the page will show the accuracy trend, strengths and a few questions worth revisiting.

That page is the report working, not failing A trend line needs at least two tests to be a line at all, and a topic needs a few answers before a percentage means anything. Printing confident-looking figures off one session would invite a parent to draw a conclusion the practice cannot support — about a ten-year-old, in week one. The full report appears on its own as soon as there are two completed tests; there is nothing to switch on.

The same restraint runs through the full report. If no topic is under 60%, Needs a little focus says nothing is flagged rather than promoting the lowest topic to fill the space, and if there is nothing to revisit, Worth a second look says so.

Putting your own name and logo on it

Open Branding from the top bar of your student list. Four fields there change what a parent is handed — the full detail, including what a logo and a colour have to satisfy, is in Your branding, and your own web address.

Field	What it does to the report
Business name	Printed as a small line at the top, above "Progress Report", in place of the child's name.
Logo	Replaces that line entirely. PNG, JPEG or WebP, under 750KB and up to 2000 × 2000 pixels.
Accent colour	Colours the heading and the trend line. A colour too pale to read against white is turned down, so you cannot accidentally ship a report nobody can see.
Contact email and Contact phone	Not printed on the report. They are held for what goes out to parents by email.

An unbranded report carries the line "Printed from Strivli SEAG Practice." in the footnote. Once you have saved anything on the Branding screen, that line stops appearing — pressing Save stores the colour shown in the picker, so a save counts as branding even if you only changed your business name. The report a parent receives then has your name on it and nothing else's.

The same settings paint the child's own app, the parent portal and the invitations you send, so what a family sees on screen and what they are handed on paper match.

Branding belongs to whoever set the account up. If you were added to somebody else's business you will see a permission message on that screen instead of the form — ask the account owner to make the change.

Handing it to a parent

Every heading on the page is written to be read by the child it is about, because sooner or later one of them will be. "Needs a little focus" is the strongest thing the report will ever say about a topic, and it is deliberate. It is worth keeping that framing when you talk the parent through it: the report names where the next bit of work goes, not what is wrong with their child.

Two topics are usually enough to talk about. A parent who leaves with a specific thing to expect — "we're on fractions for the next fortnight, and you'll see that panel change" — has been given more than a parent who leaves with a percentage.

What the parent already has If you have invited them to the portal, they can see the same figures whenever they like, and they get one short email a week. There is no print button in the portal — the printed report comes from you, or from the child's own device. Both are built by the same code from the same records, so your copy and theirs can never disagree about a number.

Questions people ask

Can I email the report from the console?: No — there is no send button, on purpose. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialogue and attach it yourself, so the covering note is yours and you know exactly who received it.
Do my worked methods print on it?: Not on the copy you print from your console. Worth a second look prints each question and its correct answer from the common library; your own worked methods, and questions you wrote yourself, live in the pack that goes out to your students' devices, so they appear on a report printed from the child's own app. If a question one of your students got wrong is missing from the list, that is usually why.
How far back does the report go?: The figures cover up to the last 200 tests recorded for that student, which for almost everyone is everything they have ever done. The trend chart shows the most recent 20 so the line stays readable.
The button has gone after I printed once.: Go back to All students and open the student again, and it is there. You can print as many copies as you like.
Can a parent print it themselves?: Not from the portal, which has no print button. They can print it from their child's own device, using the Print report button on the Your scorecard screen.
Does the report say which of the questions came from real papers?: Only in Worth a second look, where a question read out of a past paper is printed with the paper's name and its question number underneath. There is nothing anywhere else on the page about where a question came from.
