Elemore Hall school is a school for kids with special needs. This project was designed to provide a means for the staff to record and report on the performance of the pupils. The primary purpose was to track progress of the students against national averages and reasonable predictions of performance for the individual's special needs.
The system was an intranet based Model, View Control (MVC) project with a SQL Server back end.

The main focus was to create a series of graphs which will show the progress of the individuals. As it was a web-based project, these were to to be accessed in any web browser on the internal network.

As with all projects, a comprehensive security system was included to ensure that the data is protected and only the correct members of staff have access to the areas of the system they need.
The system produced graphs showing improvement against targets and improvement in relation to other students, and reported on whether students were performing above or below their predicted levels.
