Pupil reports links together any recorded teacher assessment judgements in Maestro and adds them into a report format of your choice. These could be end of year reports, termly reports or mid-year reports. These can include progress indicators based on what the children had achieved the previous year and allows teachers to add comments about the children in the subject selected. The SLT/Maestro admin can use our template reports or create their own depending on the requirements of your school. A template can be used for multiple classes/teachers. For example, you could create a template that is used for all Y1 – Y6 classes and then a different one that is used for all EYFS classes.
Creating a report template
- Click Pupil reports > Templates.
- Click Create.
General configuration
You must give the report:
a title
the headteacher's name
a school year
a term
Selecting Intended year groups isn’t compulsory, but it will make the subject selection easier and quicker if you specify the year group/s that will use the report template.
You can then customise the report columns and other details.
- Custom subject column allows schools to add their own column to the report, e.g. Attitude to learning, Behaviour, Key skills learned.
- Include attainment will show the attainment column and any data entered (e.g. Above, Within, Greater Depth).
- Include progress will show the progress column and any data available (if there is previous summer data to calculate the progress from and to).
- Include attendance will allow teachers to manually add the pupil’s attendance to each report (and appear in the header). This can be inputted as words, numbers or a percentage.
- Show/print published date will either remove or keep the published date visible on the reports.
Subjects/Areas of Learning
On the Subjects/Areas of Learning tab, mark which subjects you wish to include in the report.
- If Required is selected, teacher assessment data (Above, Greater Depth, Within etc.) must be recorded for that subject before the report can be published.
- If Optional is selected, the report can be published without those subjects being assessed.

Once a report has been generated, a subject cannot be removed. However, the template can be edited to change a subject from Required to Optional to allow reports to be published. This can only be done by a user with a SLT or Maestro administrator role.
Header notes are things that want to be included in all reports (regardless of class/pupil). This may be a message from the HT, a note about returning a letter/form before the end of term, or details of any end of term assemblies, etc. For example:
