About Class Charts
Class Charts is school software for seating plans, behaviour points, detentions, homework, attendance and messages to parents. Edukey Education Ltd, a company founded by Pembrokeshire teacher Duncan Wilson, launched it in 2013. Tes bought into Edukey in 2016 and has been its controlling shareholder since 2018. Schools buy Class Charts from Tes by module, and Tes publishes no prices: schools ask sales for a quote. Parents sign up with a parent access code from the school, and students log in with a student code and their date of birth.
Class Charts puts seating plans and behaviour records on one screen. Teachers award points in two clicks, book detentions, set homework and take registers. The software builds seating plans from logged behaviour and shows which pupils influence each other. Leaders get whole-school reports, and automatic alerts called intel events flag pupils who reach a points threshold. Parents and students see behaviour, homework, timetables, attendance and announcements in their own accounts.
Duncan Wilson was head of ICT at Ysgol Bro Gwaun in Fishguard. He met developer Gintas online, and the two built software for schools by email and chat. Their first product, Report Comment Bank, came out in 2010, followed by Literacy Assessment in 2011 and Provision Map for SEN coordinators in 2012. Class Charts started as a tool to cut the time teachers spend on seating plans. In 2013 Edukey opened its first office in St David’s, and Wilson left teaching to run the company full time.
Tes Global took a stake in Edukey in March 2016. Companies House has listed Tes Global Limited as owner of 75% or more of the shares since July 2018. Edukey won a Bett Award for Class Charts in 2017 and Bett Company of the Year in 2019. Today Tes sells Class Charts next to its safeguarding tool MyConcern and the SEND tool Provision Map, and the Class Charts apps are published under Tes Global. Tes plans to link the three products under the name Connected Insights.

Products
- Behaviour management Teachers award positive and negative points in two clicks. Schools set their own behaviour types to match their policy. Leaders see whole-school reports, and intel events trigger rewards or detentions at set thresholds. Behaviour
- Seating plans Drag-and-drop classroom layouts with 16 data fields per pupil, RAG indicators and groups such as SEN, Pupil Premium and Free School Meals. Once enough behaviour is logged, the Influences tool suggests who sits next to whom. Seating plans
- Homework Teachers set tasks with instructions, due dates, estimated time and attachments, and save tasks as templates. Students upload work where the school allows it. Parents see each task’s status in the parent app. Homework
- Attendance Lesson and AM/PM registers, a whole-school dashboard, alerts for missing registers and fire evacuation reports. Parents report absences in the app. Attendance writes back to supported MIS platforms. Attendance
- Detentions Staff award, schedule and track detentions. Students and parents see upcoming detentions if the school shares them. Detentions
- Communication Two-way messages between teachers, pupils and parents, with push notifications. Schools send announcements with consent forms and see who has not replied. Parents comment on On-Report cards. Messaging
- Wellbeing Schools run wellbeing surveys in the student account. Pupils rate each question from 0 to 10 and can add a comment. Wellbeing

Go to www.classcharts.com/parent/login or open the ClassCharts Parents app. The first time, choose ‘I don’t have an account yet’, enter your email, the parent access code from the school and your child’s date of birth, then set a password and verify your email. After that, log in with your email and password.
Go to www.classcharts.com/student/login or open the ClassCharts Students app. Enter the student code from your teacher and your date of birth. If you lost the code, Class Charts cannot help: ask your school for a new one.
Go to www.classcharts.com/account/login. Enter the email and password your school administrator sent you, or use the Google or Office 365 button if your school has single sign-on.
Parents use the forgot password link at www.classcharts.com/parent/forgot and get a reset email. If no emails from Class Charts ever arrived, the address on the account may be misspelt, and the school can check it.
Click Add Pupil in the website menu, or tap the pupil icon in the app and choose Add pupil. Enter the parent access code for that child and the child’s date of birth. Two parents can each sign up with their own email and the same code.
Tes does not publish prices. Schools ask for a quote through a demo request, and the price depends on the modules a school buys. Contracts renew yearly with 30 days’ notice to cancel. Parents and students use Class Charts for free.
