What is Class Charts for parents?

You will be able to use Class Charts to keep track of your child’s behaviour and view assigned homework tasks.

If you have more than one child, you can access Class Charts information about your children from a single, centralised parent account. Class Charts for parents can be accessed via a website, or through iOS and Android apps.

To set up your account you should have received a Parent code from school, please open the information Signing up to Class Charts for more information on how to set up your account.

Please also find additional supporting information to assist you in using Class Charts.

The iSams Parent App is a parents’ doorway into school life, you are able to see your child’s timetable and teaching groups, school contacts, attendance and registration, school reports and detention information.

As your child progresses into Year 11, you will be able to see their exam entries, exam timetable and once students have been able to collect their results, we publish these to the Parent App.

Not all areas of the ISams Parent App are used by Walton High School, but we hope to develop these in the future.

For further information on how to navigate the App and how it can be used please follow the link
