NS Parent Apps

At Northampton School we use a number of different platforms to help share information and keep you up to date with your child’s progress. Each of these platform is easy to use and you can find information in relation to each of these, together with details of how to access them below.

iSAMS

iSAMS is the school's Management Information System which holds all of your child’s attendance data, timetable and downloadable school reports when they become available at the end of Terms 2, 4 and 6 and allows you to complete on-line forms securely. Some of the same information can also be seen in Class Charts which means that many parents use Class Charts as the main method for monitoring their child.

There are two ways of accessing iSAMS, either using an internet browser on a computer, or your mobile, or by using an app on your mobile. Please note that some features are currently not possible to access using the app, so these must be completed through the web-based portal. We therefore advise that you set this up on both a computer and on a mobile using the app.

How to set up your iSAMS Parent Portal account using an internet browser

To set up your iSAMS Parent Portal account, please complete the following steps:

  1. In your desktop or mobile web browser, follow this link and head to Northampton School
  2. Select Create an account in the top right corner.
  3. Enter your unique credentials which will have been sent to you by email when your child started with the school.
  4. Enter your details, using the email address we have on file for you.
  5. You will be sent an automatic email to confirm your account.
  6. Click the link in your email, and log in to the portal.

We recommend saving the Parent Portal as a favourite or bookmark in your browser, so it’s easy to find whenever you need it.

 

How to set up your iSAMS Parent Portal account on the App

Create your iSAMS account on the App (to view attendance, timetable, and to receive push notifications for important news and/or after school club and sports cancellations)

  1. Head to the App/Play Store on your mobile device.
  2. Search for and download the iSAMS iParent App.
  3. When asked for a School Code, enter NSSCH.
  4. Log in using your Parent Portal credentials which will have been sent to you by email when your child started with the school.
  5. In your phone settings ensure that notifications are enabled for the iSAMS iParent App so that any push notifications sent by the school are received. 

Class Charts

Class Charts is the system that we use to log your child’s rewards and sanctions, in other words, all positive and negative interactions whilst at school. This system records all House points, commendations, outstanding certificates, warnings and detentions meaning that we, and you, can monitor and track their behaviour leading to more effective reporting and interventions. You can also see your child’s timetable.  When you sign up to this, you will be able to see your child’s information almost instantaneously.

How to create your Class Charts account

To create a Class Charts account please follow the instructions below.

  1. Open www.classcharts.com/parent/login
  2. Enter your email address
  3. Choose 'I don't have an account yet'
  4. Enter your parent access code and name which will have been provided to you by email when your child started with the school. 
  5. Choose a password
  6. Click Log-in.

We hope you find the platform useful and, of course, encourage you take an active role in monitoring your child’s

behaviour in school and praising and sanctioning them, as appropriate, so that they have a consistent message from both home and school.

Haldor Homework App for Parents

Haldor Homework is an app that gives you access to your child’s homework. Homework is set by teachers using MS Teams and Haldor simply provides an interface so that you can easily see this homework information and other assignments directly from your computer, tablet or phone.

Haldor Homework gives you :

  • One dashboard for instant and easy access to homework, assignments, feedback and assessments.
  • An overview of when the homework is due and if it has been submitted on time, submitted late or not submitted at all.
  • Flexibility – making homework accessible anytime, anywhere from all devices.
  • Access to Microsoft’s Immersive Reader which makes it possible to translate the homework to any chosen language.  
  • The insights you need to support your child’s learning progress.

If you have more than one child at NS then you can easily switch between your children and their individual homework.
