Tracking Student Support Programmes

As well as giving schools the tools to keep track of students pastoral incidents (problems/positives) using PB4L required fields, the Pastoral facility in EDGE Student Manager also allows users to keep track of the Supports offered to students.

Support types and support actions can be configured via Pastoral > Configuration by any user with Pastoral Officer responsibility in Edge SM.  Support types might be recorded as Literacy Support, Mathematics Support, Behaviour Support, Social Skill Support etc.  The corresponding support actions might include RTLB, RTLit, Social Worker Referral, Psychologist, Special Education, Reading Recovery, ESOL programme etc. In fact any support programme that you offer in your school can be included.

A support is added to a student record by clicking the Add Pastoral button found on the purple banner at the base of the screen.

The student pastoral summary will keep track of supports added:


Users with Pastoral Officer responsibility assigned are also able to generate and print a pastoral report for any student.  This report can include all pastoral records or be limited to specific types only and over a selected date range:


Edge also offers the tools to analyse pastoral information in detail with interactive graphs and the ability to easily export transactions to Excel for further analysis.
