A progress report is a short letter to a parent about how a student is doing. You add a note of two or three lines, LearnWorkly writes a draft from the student’s real work in the period you choose, and you read and edit it before anything is sent. Progress reports are part of the Solo, Pro and Academy plans.

## Write a report

1. **Open the student** On the class page, click the student’s name in the **Students** list. The **Progress report for parents** card is below the charts.
2. **Choose the period** Under **Period**, pick **Last 2 weeks**, **Last month** or **Last 3 months**.
3. **Choose the language** Under **Report language**, pick the language the parent reads. It can be different from the language you use LearnWorkly in.
4. **Add your note** In **Your note (2–3 lines)**, write what only you know, for example how the student works in lessons and what to practise next.
5. **Write the draft** Click **Write report**. After a few seconds the draft appears in a text box.

## What the draft is based on

- The student’s scores in the period, and whether work was submitted and on time.
- Their skills, with the trend for each one.
- Your own feedback comments to the student in that period.
- Your note.

## No names are sent to the AI

> **No names are sent to the AI:** The AI never receives the student’s name, email or any identifier. The draft refers to “your child”, and only scores, skill names and your own words are used. Each report uses one AI generation from your monthly allowance.

## Edit and send

1. **Edit the text** Change anything you like in the text box. Click **Save draft** to keep it for later.
2. **Email it** Click **Email to parent** and confirm. The report goes to the parent email saved for this student, with an unsubscribe link.
3. **Or copy it** **Copy text** puts the report on your clipboard, so you can send it any way you like.

## A parent email is needed

> **A parent email is needed:** **Email to parent** only works when a parent email is saved in the student’s **Contacts** card and you have ticked that you have permission to email it. If the parent has unsubscribed, the report cannot be emailed; use **Copy text** instead.

## Earlier reports

Every report you write is listed under **Earlier reports** with its period and whether it was **Sent** or is still a **Draft**. Click one to open it again. A report that has been sent cannot be edited or sent a second time; click **New report** to write another.

## Frequently asked questions

**Does the parent get a link to the student’s work?**
No. Parents receive the text of the report only. They never receive the student’s sign-in link.

**What if the student has no graded work in the period?**
The draft can only use what exists. Choose a longer period, or grade the answers that are waiting, then write the report again.

**Can I use reports with a group class?**
Yes. Reports are written per student, so you can write one for each student in a group, each from their own work.
