SENCO Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide will support the school's SENCO with using ScholarPack for the first time and guide through some main features that they will likely be using. 

 

1. Getting Started

You should receive a login slip with your unique link, username and password. Enter the link into your Internet browser (we recommend using Google Chrome if possible) to get started. 

As ScholarPack is a cloud based platform, you can access it wherever you have an Internet connection.

Creating a Desktop Shortcut

We recommend you create a shortcut for your desktop to allow you to access ScholarPack easier. To do this (in Google Chrome); While ScholarPack is open in your browser, click on the 3 dots at the top right of the window, select 'More tools' and click 'Create shortcut'.  

 

Changing Your Password

Once you are signed into ScholarPack for the first time, the first thing you will need to do is change your password from the randomly generated one you have been provided. For security, we also advise you change your password every 90 days, never save your password to your browser/device auto-fill and also never share your password with other members of staff. 

Please refer to: How do I change my own password in ScholarPack?

 

Logging Out

Please remember to always log out once you have finished working to ensure all data is kept safe. To sign out go to Home>Logout

Help Centre - In the top right of the page you will see the Help Centre link where you can access documentation and support resources, please use this first if you are having any issues with using ScholarPack or require some advice on how to perform an action. If you are unable to find what you need in the Help Centre, the Support link will provide you with the contact information for your support team.

Note: 'Help Centre' was previously called 'Documentation', therefore, you may see it labelled this way on some of the training videos, etc.  

Note: If you receive support from ScholarPack, you will also have a Help icon on the bottom right of the screen where you can start a web chat with the ScholarPack support team.

3. Pupil Profiles

The search function in the top right of your navigation bar gives you access to 'Pupil Profiles'. Names in your search box will appear alphabetically and you are able to search for a pupil by first or last name, year group, form, phone number or date of birth (the pupil's year/form will display next to their name in brackets).

There are a number of support reports that can be ran, information on each report can be found by searching the report name in our Help Centre, however, below is an example of a few of the most used reports:

  • Learning Support Report - This Report lists all pupils with a Learning Support package in place, detailed on the student profile's Support tab.
  • SEN Report - This Report lists all students who have a SEN provision entered on their student profile's 'Support' tab.
  • SEN Groups Report - This Report creates graphical displays of information about the SEN pupils within the school.  It will show the Percentage and Numbers of SEN pupils in each year group, their attendance data and the number by year with one of the primary SEN descriptors.  It will also show their progress toward assessment targets and progress this academic year.
