Using the P scales – Case Studies

The National Strategies, in conjunction with the East Midlands Regional Partnership and the University of Northampton have compiled a small number of case studies and examples of pupils work to illustrate how primary, secondary and special schools have used, moderated and reported on the use of P scales to raise the achievement of pupils in their schools, to maximise progress.

If you would like to share your practice on the use of P scales please contact one of your National Strategy Regional Advisers for special educational needs.
