A class noticeboard where nothing reaches pupils unread
Each class gets a private space. You post messages, files, images and links, and you can set work by posting an assignment with its deadline. Pupils reply and can post to the class. Every pupil message is read by a teacher before anyone else sees it — and that cannot be switched off.

Moderation
Approval is not a setting. It is how it works.
There is no toggle to turn approval off, because a class noticeboard that can be left unmoderated is a risk nobody should have to remember to manage. Pupil messages and replies wait in a queue, you are notified when they arrive, and you approve, return for rewording, or reject.
- Every pupil message and reply is approved before the class sees it
- No private messaging — pupils cannot message each other, anywhere in Classfolio
- Pupils cannot upload files unless your school switches it on — and every message is still approved first
- A space stays closed until the teacher opens it
- Every moderation decision is recorded, with who made it and when
What it is for
The things that never fit inside a lesson
- Setting work and posting deadline changes
- Revision links, past papers and knowledge organisers
- Exam arrangements and room changes
- Celebrating good work in front of the class
- Answering the question three pupils have already emailed you
- Trips, equipment and kit reminders
Setting work
The deadline where they already look
Post an assignment straight into the space and it appears as a card with its title, its deadline and a button through to the work. Pupils see whether they have handed it in; you see how many of the class have. It is a link, not a copy — the assignment stays the one place work is set, submitted and marked, so there is no second version to keep track of.
Trainees
Give a trainee one class, not the whole school
A trainee teacher can be added to a single Class Space as a contributor, whose messages you approve first, or as a moderator, who can publish and approve pupil messages. They see only the spaces you add them to, and removing them takes effect immediately.
Class communication your safeguarding lead can live with
Moderated by default, with no private messaging and a full record of every decision.
