Specification
We have been presented the task, by The John Bentley School, of creating a new system for the teachers, parents, and students to access student grades and track their progress and feedback. We have been told that this should include:
· The ability to view the grades and other information of students easily
· The ability for students and parents to also view the grades of the student
· Teachers need to be able to edit the information
· A section for teachers to record actions taken as well as comments for the student/ parents
· Three permission levels associated with the accounts, Teacher, Student and parents
· A way to export the information in a printable format
· Filters to hide irrelevant information to the teacher and also have some fields hidden for the different permission levels.
Success Criteria
The success criterion for this task is to produce a working prototype of our internet-based solution. We will not make the finished product as this will take a lot more time, and funding. So, with the current level of backing from external sources, a prototype is the only feasible product.

Issues with Current System
The feedback we have had from the current system is that it is too complicated and hard to navigate and use, some of the functions either dont work, or cannot be figured out. Also, the fact that there is multiple spreadsheets for the different year groups, which makes the system even more difficult to navigate. Also there is no system in place to find a specific person. For example, anybody below their Minimum Expectation.
