Moving report cards to an app: why and how to start

By OWMGS · 2 November 2026

At the end of every term, many teachers spend long nights adding scores, working out positions and writing report cards by hand. A report card app does the heavy work, so teachers can focus on teaching and on helpful remarks.

What a report card app does

Benefits for the school

How to start, step by step

  1. Write down your current method: subjects per class, how class score and exam score are combined, and your grading scale and remarks.
  2. Prepare class lists with each learner's full name.
  3. Start small: try the app with one class for one term alongside the old method, and compare.
  4. Train teachers for a short session. Most only need to enter scores.
  5. Keep backups of the data each term.

Questions to ask before choosing an app

Learner data is personal information, so choose a system that keeps it private and only lets the right staff see it.
