INTRODUCTION TO NSTORE
Nstore has been specifically designed to help teachers with National Curriculum record keeping and reporting.
It allows you to keep detailed records on up to 1296 pupils (depending on the free space available on your machine), and their achievements on the latest (2000) Level Descriptions in all National Curriculum subjects from levels 1 - Exceptional Performance, and the National Literacy and Numeracy frameworks from Reception to Year 6.
The program includes a bank of over 750 comments about many other aspects of a child's performance and personality, such as attitude, behaviour and presentation. It can also store exam, classwork, and Standard Assessment Task data, as well as as a child's date of birth, gender, and attendance. These can all be easily highlighted, and used by the program to produce automated end of term/year reports.
These reports can then be printed out, or saved to disc in standard file formats (ASCII and CSV) which can be loaded or mail merged into a wordprocessor or Desk Top Publisher.
The pupil data can also be exported as a CSV file which can be loaded another package for analysis (e.g. spreadsheet or database). Pupil data can also be imported into Nstore in the standard CSV file format used by most school administration packages.
You can also keep a record of up to 1296 topics and the Level Descriptions they cover, and search the National Curriculum for Level Descriptions which contain a particular word or phrase.
Nstore will produce a list of National Curriculum targets for a pupil or class, and also find a list of the topics which you have stored on the disc that best match the targets found. You can then automatically update pupil records when this topic has been covered in class. It is easy to move pupil or topic data between PC versions of Nstore, and also to and from files produced by the Acorn RISC machine, Psion Series 5 and Acorn Pocket Book II/III/Psion Series 3a/3c/3mx versions.
