Curriculum customisation is available to all schools on a subscription basis. To customise an existing framework you will need to be logged in as the school admin user. 

These instructions are for adding subjects that are only to be used in the Attainment and Progress area.

These might be used for:

  • Recording scores in specific mark ranges for entering particular test data (e.g. PUMA, PIRA, Progress in English, spelling tests, standardised tests)
  • Recording manual judgements based on teacher assessment data e.g. below track, on track, above track
  • Recording other forms of assessment e.g. EAL codes
  • Tracking other aspects of learning e.g. book bands


Step 1: Create the curriculum and subject(s)

1. Login as the admin user

2. Select Customisation > Customise Classroom Monitor for your School > Customise School Curriculum.
NB If you do not see this option, the curriculum customisation tool is not yet activated in your account. This may already be included in your subscription or available for a small additional charge. Please contact us to find out more.
