Pupil tracking sheet
The PNS has produced an example pupil tracking grid to support schools to identify children who are at risk of underachievement against national standards.
These example spreadsheets, developed by local authorities and schools in the Intensifying Support Programme, are being made available to support school leaders to map out attainment over an academic year and record pupil progress. Schools need to have systems and processes to track pupil progress both summatively and formatively. It is important to note however that there are no nationally agreed criteria for judging progress through the school. Local authorities and schools have developed these systems using National Curriculum levels and we are providing them as an example of how this has been done. The purpose of these grids is to engage colleagues across the whole school in a professional dialogue about pupil progress, groupings, expectations and appropriate use of interventions. They should be used in conjunction with your Raise Online / PAT data, and your knowledge of the individual children and context of the school, to establish judgments based on prior attainment and
national expectations. It is also important to note possible factors for any under-performance, such as a child's acquisition of English, special educational needs or their attendance, and take this into account when planning appropriate interventions or setting realistic expectations.
