Hwb Accounts for ITE Student Placements
Are you a school supporting a student teacher?
If so, ask them if they have their own Hwb account. You will be able to add student accounts to the relevant areas you use in Hwb and remove the account once the placement is complete. Contact the Welsh Government Hwb Team if you require support.
Updated information for parents and carers
The Information for Parents and Carers has been updated for 2024 to 2025. Also, these two animations provide an introduction to the assessments and information on the learner feedback and progress reports.
Please share these links with your learners’ parents and carers.
Personalised assessments: data agreement
Headteachers, remember you must accept the data agreement for the 2024 to 2025 school year and review staff functions before staff are able to access the personalised assessment system to schedule new assessments, or access existing reports which can help to inform learning, teaching and progression planning.
These resources are available to help develop learners’ reasoning skills once they have completed their assessments. The resources can be accessed by teachers via the learner report and group skills profile reports
