Tracking Pupil Progress in Primary Schools Natasha Marsh Primary Sector Product Manager

Tracking Children - Norbury

Why Track Progress?  Provides a focus for professional dialogue to support assessment for learning and personalised learning;  Enables targeted mapping of intervention to support pupil learning;  Provides evidence of the impact of actions on progress and strengthens the accountability of teachers and head teachers. (From ‘The Improving Schools Programme (ISP): supporting schools to secure the progress of all learners’ leaflet, Primary National Strategy, March 2008, Ref LEF-EN.)

New Assessment Features  Tracking Progress Marksheet Templates  Additional Group filters with multiple filtering;  Graphing Grade Distribution in Marksheets;  Applying Nested if then Else to another column;  Opening Marksheets from Template;  Pupil Tracking Grids;  Automatic Upgrade and Installation of AMPARK Resources.  Primary Curriculum: teaching groups

Tracking Progress Marksheet Templates Provided from May 2008 for optional automatic installation, for tracking pupil progress:  Templates for Years 1 – 6 in Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, Maths, Science.  English Templates for Years 1 – 6 that aggregate Speaking & Listening, Reading and Writing  Templates for Years 3 – 6 to check comparative progress in English and Maths (England only).  A Template to summarise year on year progress.  Templates to convert Y2 and Y6 teacher assessments to KS1 and KS2 validated results.

ISP Pupil Tracking Grids

Pupil Tracking Grids SIMS Pupil Tracking Grids will enable teachers to visually establish whether pupils are on target, or need intervention to enable them to fulfill their potential.  Tracking Grids can be populated once teacher assessments are entered in the Tracking Progress Marksheets;  They can be cloned and customised for use with other templates;  Options to select the type of grid and the subject, and customise the grid layout;  Types of grid include termly tracking, yearly tracking and tracking current against KS1 results.  The functionality to create these Grids will also be available for advanced users in any School phase.
