The Online Report Repository is a Repository of over 100 pre-created reports that can be downloaded and used or downloaded and edited. These are reports that have been created by both Bromcom and by schools and are available to everyone to use.
You can use the Import Report Definition to import reports created by other colleagues at your school or trust.
