How primary (PLE-style) results appear on report cards and the marksheet, and how to configure the pieces that drive them.
Upper vs lower primary
YoShule reports the primary department in two bands:
- Upper primary (P4–P7) — every subject shows its mark and a grade, and the report shows a PLE aggregate and division. The cross-subject average is not graded.
- Lower primary (P1–P3) — subjects show marks and the average only, plus the teacher's comment. No grades, aggregate, or division.
The band is detected from the class level (P4–P7 = upper, P1–P3 = lower), so you don't configure it anywhere.
How the grade, aggregate and division are worked out
- Each subject's mark (its average across the term's assessment sets) is converted to a grade 1–9 (1 is best) using the Primary grading scale.
- The grades of the core subjects are added up to give the aggregate (best 4, lowest 36).
- The aggregate maps to a division: 1 = 4–12, 2 = 13–23, 3 = 24–29, 4 = 30–34, U = 35–36. An incomplete set of core grades shows X.
Marks entry is unchanged — you still type marks per paper. Grades, aggregates and divisions are computed automatically and only appear on the report card and the marksheet.
Choosing the core subjects
A subject only counts toward the aggregate when it is flagged Core.
- Go to Dashboard → Subjects.
- Create or edit a subject and tick Core subject (counts toward aggregate). Core subjects show a Core badge in the list.
- For PLE this is English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
If an upper-primary class has no subjects flagged Core, the marksheet shows a prompt to select them and temporarily falls back to summing every subject's grade for the aggregate. Flag the four core subjects to get an accurate PLE aggregate and division.
The Primary grading scale (0–100 → 1–9)
- Go to Dashboard → Assessment → Sets & Grading and select the Primary department.
- Each grade has a score range. The editor shows a coverage strip across 0–100 and warns about gaps, overlaps, out-of-range scores or duplicate labels — a save is blocked until the boundaries are clean.
- New schools start with a sensible 1–9 default (80–100 → 1 … 0–39 → 9); adjust the boundaries to match your school's policy.
Where you see it
- Report card (per student) — subject mark + grade, with the aggregate and division in the summary.
- Marksheet (whole class) on the Results page — each subject has two columns under its name, Score and Grade, with single Aggregate and Division columns per student.
