An air of normaility

We are now nicely into term 3 and if we weren't hearing news reports from our near neighbours and further afar it would almost seem like as if everything was back to normal. It's now a definite advantage being far away from the rest of the world.

The lockdown has definitely given us some new normals with 'Zoom sessions' now being part of our daily vocabulary and for supporting schools and delivering PD this is definitely the way to go. Staff from Edge can catch up with far more schools in a day and there are all round benefits with less time on the road having an eco benefit as well.

We still do like to visit schools however so please don't hesitate to contact us when you have a query or looking to extend your use of Edge, Edge Library or Assay.

New and refined features continue to be added to Edge with some useful additions to Attendance:

Marking Bulk Attendance

- In Mark multiple days we have added the ability to pick the period (or half day) to mark

- Ability to exlude certain students from the group to be marked

- Ability to add a note to all students in the group marked for multiple days



Health and Safety

Below is an example of how the Edge Health and safety functionality can be configured.

To have full access to Health and Safety you need both Account Maintenance and Health and Safety Officer User Responsibilities.

Our Health and Safety section has been set up in a similar way to the Pastoral area. It allows you to record and analyse incidents and to keep a log of sick bay use.
