About the Primary Progress Toolkit

New features in Primary Progress Toolkit v3 (launched February 2008):

• Includes the Infant Progress Toolkit - a new module which overcomes the problem of comparing FSP and NC levels, allowing you to track pupil progress from point of entry through to Y6. Because you can track progress from such an early stage you are able to spot problem areas (with individual children, cohorts, classes and year groups) very early on, when there’s still time to take action. (Subscribers to Primary Progress Toolkit will have the Infant Progress Toolkit integrated with their existing toolkit at no extra cost.)
  
  
• Now contains a set of Tracker Grids, based on the grids developed for ISP schools.
  These grids are proving extremely popular in user schools.  They provide three views of pupil progress:
  - are pupils on track for level 4 or 5?
  - are they making progress?
  - are they achieving the targets you’ve set?
  The grids work with termly and yearly data, and you can customise them to reflect your school’s own standards/expectations.
  
  
• We are now collecting additional pupil information which will extend the ‘groups’ which you can extract for analysis, including attendance data,   ‘extended’ ethnic codes, SEN types, Sets, up to four additional school-specified Yes/No ABCD criteria.  (Please download a leaflet or email us for more detailed information.)

How the Primary Progress Toolkit works…

You supply us with your most relevant school and pupil performance data in whatever format, we combine it with the national data and import it into the toolkit to create a single source of organised performance data, then install it for you and ensure you know how to use it.
The Primary Progress Toolkit is designed to help you manage all the various school, pupil performance and national data you have to deal with. The toolkit collects your most relevant school and pupil performance data and combines it with the National data for comparison, delivering you an easy-to-use data manipulation tool with strong visual presentation. It allows you to tailor your searches and assemble your most useful data for analysis and report. Its strong colour coded scheme makes the process of analysis and report very easy.

The toolkit is designed for use by senior Primary school staff, particularly Heads and Deputies who do not have time for software which requires a great deal of training, it is exceptionally clear and easy to use.

It makes it possible for you to:

• Arrange data to review progress by individuals,groups e.g. SEN,FSM, birth term, ethnicity etc, classes and year groups
• Set targets (termly or yearly) for years 1-6 – speaking, listening, reading, writing, maths, science plus foundation subjects.
• Input termly or yearly teacher assessments.
• Test and store reading ages termly or yearly for all years from Year1.
• Analyse pupils’ results using contextual value added (CVA)
