Reporting should be spread out to some extent over the year, so that staff do not have to fit too many in at one time. If staff log assessments regularly throughout the year, they will find report writing a lot less onerous. A dead line for completed data entry on discs 2 full weeks before the reports go out is essential. Discs can then be collected and a member of the office staff can print the reports during the following week. Reports then go back to tutors for checking over the week end. The reports are then handed back to the office who can make the amendments then a duplicate copy. These can then be collated and passed on to the Principal for signing.
