From a mark in the gradebook to a signed report card.

Commun models the way your subjects actually assess — frameworks, weightings and grade scales — then turns the term's marks into multi-component report cards your teachers are proud to sign.

The gradebook

Marks in, fast — frameworks doing the maths

Each subject keeps its own gradebook. Teachers enter marks with a bulk-entry wizard, and Commun aggregates them by the weightings you've set — no spreadsheets, no copy-paste.

Subject gradebook + bulk entry

A clean grid of students against assessment components, with a bulk-entry wizard for whole-class marking. Class averages and gaps surface as you type.

  • One gradebook per subject and class
  • Keyboard-driven bulk entry across the whole roster
  • Live class averages and missing-mark flags

Frameworks & weighted aggregation

Build a subject-specific assessment framework — the components, their weightings and the grade scale — and Commun computes the weighted result every time, consistently.

  • Components and weightings per subject
  • Configurable grade scales and behaviour criteria
  • Weighted aggregation applied automatically

Built for the bulk-entry wizard

Marking a full set doesn't have to be a slog. The wizard moves cell to cell, validates as it goes, and saves continuously — so a class of marks is done in one sitting.

  • Validation catches out-of-range marks on entry
  • Continuous save — nothing lost mid-session
  • Pick up exactly where you left off

Report cards

Reports that say more than a single grade

Pull marks, behaviour, attendance and written comments into one multi-component report card — on a grade scale you control, signed digitally and published when you decide.

Multi-component cards

Marks, behaviour, attendance and teacher comments combine into one coherent report — the whole child on a single document.

Comment templates

Comment banks and behaviour criteria keep language consistent and save teachers from a blank page every reporting cycle.

Digital signatures

Tutors and leadership sign report cards digitally, so each card carries the authority it needs before it ever reaches a family.

Publication control

Reports stay locked in draft until they're ready — then publish to families in one controlled, deliberate step.

One card, the whole picture

Because the marks come from the gradebook, attendance from the register and behaviour from the pastoral record, the report card writes itself from data you already trust — no re-keying, no mismatches.

  • Grade scales you define, applied everywhere
  • Pulls attendance and behaviour automatically
  • Batch-generated as polished PDFs

Signed, then published — on your say-so

Nothing goes out by accident. Cards are signed digitally and held in draft until leadership publishes; the moment they do, families see them in the parent portal and app.

  • Digital signatures captured per report
  • Draft → review → publish, clearly gated
  • Published straight to Family Experience

Reporting weeks that don't break the staffroom

"We model three curricula and they all assess differently. Commun's frameworks handle the weightings, so the numbers on the report cards are finally consistent."

Director of StudiesAcademic Lead

"The bulk-entry wizard saved my evenings. A full class of marks in one pass, validated as I go, and the averages are right there."

Subject TeacherSecondary Science

"Signed digitally, locked in draft, published in one step. No more reports going out before they were ready — that alone was worth it."
