Under the CAS tile of a year group, you can find functions on the right-hand side to assist with tracking student progress and generating summaries, such as Export to Excel and Generate Reports.

Depending on the width of your screen, these functions might appear at the bottom of the page.

Navigate to your Year Group > CAS and on the right-hand side click Export to Excel.

CAS Progress Reports 

CAS Progress reports can be customised, generated and stored in ManageBac+, as well as shared with Students & Parents. They can be generated at any time, and as many times as you like, throughout the students CAS journey. 

Generating CAS Reports in Bulk

Via a Students CAS Worksheet

To generate a CAS report for an individual student, select the student from the CAS roster and click Generate Reports from their CAS worksheet. You can view the student you are reviewing prior to confirming generating the report card. 

You are presented with the same customization options as when generating reports in bulk.

Once the reports have been generated, the PDF will be stored under the CAS Documents section of the student's worksheet.

Can Students & Parents view Reports?

Regardless of whether reports are generated by year group or by student, these appear for the student to view via their CAS Worksheet under the CAS Documents section.
