Re: It's horrendous out there in local Ed IT
Similar here:
My reception year son has a similar online tool for reading homework, not that he can read well yet at 4 years old!
The online portal, accessible to all needs a school code which will be the same for all kids in the school, and a username & password.
Both username and password assigned to my son were: 2 digit year (his school intake year) , firstname, last initial. There were no online prompts or advice in the guidance leaflet about changing passwords.
I haven't tried but I'm pretty sure I could get onto the reading records of at least 80% of the schools kids who won't have changed the password simply by knowing the child's name and applying the same user/password formula.
