Online Platforms

At Downend we use a number of online platforms to support student learning and aid communication. Please use the links below to find some helpful 'How to...' guides.
Curriculum and Learning
At Downend School, we use Google Apps to sent and receive emails, to write and store documents and to set and submit homework.
The links to these apps can be found on the 'Useful Links' tab on the left-hand side of your screen, but the link below will take you to some useful guides on how to use.
Subjects
Different subjects will use different websites and apps to support learning. Something like Seneca can be used for a number of different subjects, whilst others are more specific to different subject areas. The links below will take you to further information and 'How to' guides.
Multiple Subjects
Individual Subjects
Maths (Sparx) Food and Nutrition English (Educake)
Communication and Administration
We also use a number of online platforms to aid communication and other interactions between school and home. The links below will take you to further information on these platforms.
Behaviour Management
Class Charts is our behaviour management software, allowing us to create seating plans, communicate with home, add rewards, monitor and motivate students. It is not yet live, but further information will follow soon.
Careers
Unifrog is a website that is used in the careers curriculum to support students with their next steps. Please click on the link below for further information on how to use:
Parents' Evenings
The Parents Evening Booking System is called School Cloud and can be found at the following link
https://downendschool.parentseveningsystem.co.uk. For a guide on how to book appointments, please click on the link below.
School Payment System
SCOPAY is our online paying platform. Please click on the link below for 'How to' guides and email dow-admin@cset.co.uk if you are having any difficulties with SCOPAY.
School Trips and Visits
To manage trips and visits, we use a platform called Evolve. Evolve is an online system for the planning, approval and management of educational visits, trips and extra-curricular activities.
You do not need to log on to this platform, and so there are no 'How to' guides needed, but be aware you will receive emails and permission forms through this platform when you sign up for a trip.
