Impact on the students
Pupil progress data shows that those students who
demonstrate growth mind-set characteristics radically out-
perform other students by as much as 4 grades, even
though their KS2/CAT tests show they have similar raw
intelligence.

Computer Systems.
Each student will have received a label with
their usernames and passwords for the main
systems we use in school and for their
homework. It looks like the example on the
left.
The IT department will print a new
document if the Student requests it.
This information is personal to the student
and therefore they must keep it safe.

Please bear in mind that students can change
some of their own passwords. If they forget a
password, the IT department can reset them.

Computer Systems.
    The main computer systems are:-
•   Tucasi ScoPay                       pay for trips and food
•   Classcharts                         students behaviour and homework
•   Google Mail (student email)         @henrycort.co.uk

    All of these systems can be found easily using a browser and search engine.

Tucasi payments system.
Each student will have received a document
to take home and to give to their
Parents/Guardians about accessing the
payments system. It looks like the example
on the left.
Once connected, parents/guardians can pay
for their students trips and food. Using this
payment method for food is a good way to
see what has been purchased.
Most parents have been using Tucasi at
primary school and are familiar with they
system, however if help is needed contact
kad@henrycort.org.

ClassCharts system.

Each student will have received a document
to take home and to give to their
Parents/Guardians about accessing
ClassCharts. It looks like the example on
the left.
Use the Phone app or PC to gain access to
behaviour and homework. The email
address to use will be one given to the
school as a contact.
