The Progress Dashboard page provides a quick summary of your progress data, in terms of both percentages and numbers of children (in brackets). This can then be easily manipulated to do all your comparative group work (e.g Boys v Girls), over any period of time you like (including historically).

To access this, simply go to the Progress Dashboard tab under the 'School Analysis' sub-heading in the 'KS1-KS3' section of the left-hand menu. You then need to fill out the appropriate criteria. 

1. Subject: Select the subject you wish to view. 'Core' will show Reading, Writing, SPaG and Maths' on the page at the same time.
2. Assessment No. 1: Select the starting point of your 'progress period'.
3. Assessment No. 2: Select the end point of your 'progress period'.
4. No. Steps: Select the expected number of steps required for your chosen 'progress period' (depending on your school setup). For more information on this, please contact your local Education Consultant.
5. Press Go.

Progress Key

The exact number of progress steps varies on your iTRACK setup, number of assessment standards and the progress period you are viewing. A general rule for each of the progress values can be seen below, or please contact your local Education Consultant for a tailored Key for your account.

A more visual representation of this per cohort can be seen on our Progress Tracking page, instructions for which can be found here.

Please note that an 'Outstanding Progress' option can be enabled in the preferences, which represents '3 or more steps better than expected'.

Viewing the Core Subjects

When you select the subject as 'Core', you will see all your core subjects appear on the Dashboard.

If you wish to view your progress data for any of your groups of children, simply go to your filtering section and choose the group of children you wish to analyse, then press 'Go'.

All of the data in the tables will represent the group of children you selected.

Please note: you can apply as many filter groups as you like.

Comparing Groups of Children

When you select a specific subject from the dropdown, you will notice a new purple 'show attributes' button appear.

When you click that, the following blue table will appear below. This allows you to choose up to 5 of your key groups at a time (e.g. Boys v Girls, Pupil Premium v Non, Ever6 v Non, SEND n Non, EAL v Non) for comparing data. 

In the ‘AVAILABLE ATTRIBUTES’ column on the left, select which (up to) 5 attributes you would like to view and compare. In the ‘SELECTED ATTRIBUTES’ column on the right, ensure that the data will be making the correct comparison (e.g. left: Gender, right: Boys v Girls). This is particularly important when comparing attributes with numerous or various code options.

Once you are happy with your selections, press ‘Go’. Please note that these can be changed at any time by deselecting the ‘available attributes’ and selecting new ones.

You will now be presented with your attainment percentages and pupil numbers for each of your EYFS cohorts, with a total row underneath. This will be broken down into each of the 5 groups you selected from the blue Attributes table.

How the Dashboard Works

To extract more meaningful information from your Progress Dashboard, you can use the following hints and tips:

1) Open Filters

You can use this button to filter all the data tables by any of your Attributes, which is really useful for cross-referencing groups. For example, when viewing an individual subject, if you click to open your filters and were to select your Pupil Premium children, then the Boys v Girls table below would represent your Pupil Premium Boys v Pupil Premium Girls.

2) Table Toggle

By clicking this button in the 'Display Options' section, the data will swap from graphical to tabular format. Please note you can click on any cell within any table to reveal a list of the pupil names (see point 6 below).

3) Bar Chart Toggle

By clicking this button in the 'Display Options' section, the data will swap from tabular to Bar Charts. You can revert to tables by clicking the ‘Table’ button. These graphs can either be expanded into individual cohorts using the  symbol, or downloaded using the purple 'DOWNLOAD IMAGE' button.

4) Pie Chart Toggle

By clicking this button in the 'Display Options' section, the data will swap from tabular form into Pie Charts. You can revert back to tables by clicking the ‘Table’ button. These graphs can either be expanded into individual cohorts using the  symbol, or downloaded using the purple 'DOWNLOAD IMAGE' button.

5) Export to Excel

If you wish to analyse this data further, you can click the ‘Export to Excel’ button to generate an Excel file containing this data. Each group will be presented on a separate worksheet within the file.

6) Pupil Pop Up

Clicking on any of the cells containing data will reveal the names of the pupils contained in that that percentage/number. If you click the cell where it says ‘total’, you will see a list of all your pupils. If you click on the cell which says ‘Year 1n’, you will get a list of all your Year 1 pupils etc. This list is easily printable by clicking the ‘print this report’ link. To close it down, either click out of the pop up or use the x symbol.
