As a record that can be written to a CD and passed on to parents, portfolios are a great way to give each child a personal record of what they have experienced and achieved during the year. Children take pride and pleasure in seeing their portfolio grow over the course of a year. But portfolios also serve an important function for the school, as an impressive and easy way to demostrate the work being done, either by a typical pupil as an example of a year group, or by a special needs pupil whose progress is being specifically monitored.

All in One Place
School Life makes it possible for pupils to gather together in one location all the photos, scanned art work, audio and video files that relate to them and that illustrate their achievements and experiences in school.

Practical and Presentable
Portfolios can function either primarily as a way to display and share material, in the form of multi-media slideshows and transportable web pages or as a practical desktop tool for locating and accessing all of a pupil’s digital files, including work done in writing, painting and presentation programs.
