2026 Product Improvements

We've been busy. This year EdPotential picked up national NCEA comparisons, multi-year trends, STAR attendance tracking, effort and pastoral data from KAMAR, and shared classes for co-teachers.

What's new in EdPotential

Terms 1–3, 2026

Less time digging through spreadsheets, more time with the students who need you.

Here's everything that's live at the start of Term 4.

NCEA & course reporting

See how your courses really stack up

Course and class reports now do much more of the heavy lifting.

Course report updates

Single-year course reports now include:

  • Comparison to national results, so you can see your course alongside schools across the country

  • Pass rates

  • Credit counts

  • GPA

  • Student list for everyone in the course

Multi-year course report updates

Track a course across years to spot trends early. Multi-year course reports now show:

  • Comparison to national results

  • Grade counts over time

  • GPA results over time

  • Credit counts over time

  • Pass rates over time

Course results by gender, ethnicity or class

Course results can now be split by gender, ethnicity or class in both single-year and multi-year course reports. Tick the split you want at the top of the Course Results panel.

NCEA Overview in class & course reports

Class and course reports now include an NCEA Overview. It has the same filters and columns as NCEA Reporting, but shows only the students enrolled in that class or course.

Literacy & numeracy achievement

See each student's progress towards the literacy and numeracy requirements right alongside their NCEA achievement in the class or course.

Attendance

Spot attendance concerns sooner

Stepped Attendance Response (STAR)

New STAR filters show the proportion of students at each stage (Good, Worrying, Concerning, Very Concerning) in each term over time.

You can also filter to see exactly which students are at a selected stage.

Attendance by year level

The Cohort Attendance Report now includes a table of attendance by year level, broken down by gender and ethnicity.

Half-day attendance kept up to date

KAMAR stopped sending half-day attendance data in mid-June. EdPotential now calculates these values itself, so all half-day attendance charts and tables stay current. There's nothing you need to do.

Student data from KAMAR

A fuller picture of every student

Data sharing options made visible

KAMAR now lets parents and caregivers, and students over 16, choose what data is shared with third-party providers like EdPotential. You can now see which students aren't sharing all their data:

  • KAMAR Data Sharing filter in Student Reporting

  • Warning flag on those students in class and course reports

Effort grades

Effort grades entered in the Attendance section of KAMAR now come through via KAMAR Directory Services and appear in student reports.

Pastoral data

Summarised pastoral data now comes through from KAMAR Directory Services and can be displayed in student reports, showing positive and negative events.

SMART assessment results

New SMART assessment results are now displayed, with students grouped by level in class reports.

Classes & teachers

Built for shared teaching

Multiple teachers per class

Classes can now have more than one teacher. Each teacher sees their shared classes in My Classes.
