Grades
CAIRO allows grades to be entered for each pupil in each class in a reporting period. The available grades can be selected from:
- Effort Grades..
- As many as three effort grades can be assigned. Usually just one effort grade is required but as many as three can be defined and might typically be:
- Class Effort
- Homework Effort
- General Effort
- Attainment Grades..
- Three Standard Attainments Grades
- Three Predicted Attainment Grades
- (If used in this way, CAIRO can compute the difference between three predicted and three attained grades. However, if predicted grades are not of interest, the three predicted grades can be renamed and, if necessary, treated as ordinary attainment grades, giving six in total.)
- Exam Grades
- Exam Attainment Grade
- Predicted Exam Attainment Grade
- Exam Result (percentage)
- Exam Paper 1 result (percentage)
- Exam Paper 2 result (percentage)
- Exam Paper 3 result (percentage)
- Exam Paper 4 result (percentage)
- Exam Paper 5 result (percentage)
- National Curriculum Levels
- Target Level

When entering grades, just one click with the mouse displays the complete history of grades for the current pupil for the current subject.
You can specify the codes and descriptions for efforts and attainments:
- Effort Grades for example:
- * Excellent
- A Very Good
- B Good
- C Satisfactory
- D Poor
- E Very Poor
- Attainment Grades for example:
- 1 Excellent
- 2 Very Good
- 3 Good
- 4 Satisfactory
- 5 Poor
- 6 Very Poor
When entering grades, you just type the code (A, B, C, 1, 2 etc.) and CAIRO provides the corresponding description.
