What it does

Everything a term needs, in one place

Not a list of features for its own sake. Each of these exists because a head teacher, a bursar or a class teacher has to do it — and doing it on paper costs a week of evenings.

Report cards your curriculum recognises

Five grading modes covering how Ugandan secondary schools assess under the competency-based curriculum: Activities of Integration alone, AoI plus end-of-term, the 20/80 weighting, AoI out of three with achievement identifiers, and a single score out of 100. Set the mode per class and per term, because not every class in a school is assessed the same way.

  • Positions in stream and class, with proper tied ranking
  • Automatic class-teacher comments from your own comment bands
  • Your grade rubric, your colours, your logo as a watermark
  • Head teacher's signature and school stamp printed on the card
  • Project work and generic skills, where your school reports them
  • The whole school in one job — 639 cards in about two seconds

Cards that can be proved genuine

Every printed card carries a QR code and a short serial. Anyone can check it without an account — and the check says not just that the card is real, but whether the marks still match what your school holds. A doctored card fails.

  • You choose how much a stranger sees, from "genuine" to full marks
  • Parent contact details are never shown, at any setting
  • A card issued in error can be revoked
  • The code survives a photocopy, a fold and a phone camera

School fees, without the hardback book

  • Fee structures per class, applied in one step
  • Half and full bursaries handled properly
  • Part payments, with a printed receipt every time
  • A bursar's dashboard: collected, outstanding, who is cleared
  • Import a bank or mobile-money file, checked before it commits
  • Optionally show the balance on the report card

Messages parents actually receive

SMS reaches a Ugandan parent in a way email does not. GradeFlex sends through two providers, so one being down does not mean your results-day messages fail.

  • Same-day absence, attendance summaries, fee reminders
  • Results ready, or a full subject-by-subject grade summary
  • Your own messages — PTA meetings, closing dates, anything
  • The exact cost stated before every send, and a refund for anything the network refuses

A portal for parents

  • Their own children only — never anybody else's
  • Results, teacher comments and past terms
  • Attendance, if your school chooses to show it
  • Fees balance and every receipt
  • One login for a family with several children
  • Invited by email; they set their own password

Attendance

  • A daily register the class teacher marks for their own stream
  • Figures computed only from days a register was actually taken
  • Worst-first summary, so you see who needs following up
  • Feeds same-day absence texts to parents

The year, and the years before it

  • Promote a whole class up at year end — and undo it if it was wrong
  • Graduates archived with their results frozen exactly as printed
  • Past terms stay readable and reprintable
  • Result analysis: pass rates, best and most improved, by subject
  • Student ID cards
  • Full backup and export, any time, in one click

Who can see what

Each role sees only what the job needs. A bursar handles money and cannot open learner report cards. A subject teacher enters marks for the streams they teach and no others.

  • Head teacher, class teacher, subject teacher, bursar, parent
  • Every change to a mark logged: who, and when
  • Staff set their own passwords by emailed link — nobody reads a password down a phone
  • Schools are isolated from each other, and that is tested

Reading about it only goes so far

Register, add one learner, print their card. Free, and about fifteen minutes.
