Tracking Progress Using Data

Tracking Progress Who are we tracking? What do we want to achieve by tracking progress? How can we easily track progress?

Who are we tracking? Individual pupils with SEN Track progress of groups of vulnerable pupils

What do we want to achieve? To help us plan action for an individual pupil To help us evaluate what works and what doesn’t To complete annual Governors’ Report Help us identify groups of pupils who are underachieving Give us evidence to set priorities and targets for our School Development Plan,

Another small reason… Ofsted want to see evidence! They want to see schools and departments constantly self- evaluating, knowing their own strengths and weaknesses Be able to show Ofsted you know how SEN pupils perform in your school

How can we easily track progress? Look at data for individuals and groups Exemplar folders for students with different areas of need Self-evaluation, e.g. questionnaires to pupils, parents, other staff Use other people, e.g. EP service, LEA advisory staff

Using data Collate data Look at data in comparison to national data Identify which young people are successful and which are not Are there particular groups that are underachieving? Together with colleagues, set targets and plan action
