Conduct events
Log conduct events in seconds. Teachers and support staff are guided through a simple, streamlined form that only shows the fields they need—saving time, improving accuracy, and reducing disruption in the classroom.

Conduct dashboards
See the full picture of pupil behaviour. Filter by pupil group, date range, event type, or severity to see exactly what you need. It helps staff quickly understand what’s going well, where extra support is needed, and when to step in.

Conduct detentions and report cards
The new Conduct Report Card module offers a simpler, faster way to monitor pupils on report.
With streamlined setup, flexible configuration, and bulk actions, it’s easier to assign, complete, and review report cards for individuals or groups.
It supports both positive and negative report cards—helping schools capture a fuller picture of pupil conduct.
