Lisol Pathways

Pathways for Schools is a bilingual system which facilitates effective communication within schools. In addition, the system can link a school with the home enabling parents to take a more active role in their children's education. As well as being better informed of what is happening in school, parents can view the current performance and activity of their child from home or from work including homework, timetables, reports, grades, attendance and much more.

Everyone in a school from pupils and parents, to teachers, admin and maintenance staff will have secure access to the system.

The system is divided into 6 Pathways, each Pathway giving you varying functionality from the Pupil Data Pathway to the Web pathway.

The system is currently in use in over 30 schools across Wales including South Wales like Cwmtawe Comprehensive School or Dwr-y-Felin Comprehensive School in Neath Port Talbot.

Lisol Voyager

A 'pupil passport' system created to help schools and local education authorities manage every child's progress from the foundation phase into post 16 learning.

Lisol Voyager meets the challenges of Transition, Teacher Assessment and Personalised Learning.

It stores teaching and learning information on every child in order teachers can access a pupil's academic, pastoral, social and extra curricular record months before they physically arrive in their classrooms.

It allows teachers to standardise assessments, ensuring consistency across a school, a cluster of schools or an authority.

It allows schools clusters and LEAs to create online learning packages for students which when marked by Lisol Voyager can be used to form skills profiles.

It allows schools to easily demonstrate best practice in their Transition Plans.

The system is being used in schools across Wales, including at an LEA level at Caerphilly (county borough)
