The School Tracking page is a way to clearly and concisely quantify school-wide improvement/progress, by measuring the difference in attainment over any 2 points in time. This is excellent information to share with Governors/OFSTED etc. You can then view the context of who has moved where, which is excellent for Pupil Progress meetings. 

Go to the School Tracking tab located under the 'School Analysis' sub-heading in the 'KS1-KS3' section of the left-hand menu, and fill out the following criteria:

  1. Subject: Select the subject you wish to view. Please note that you can use iTRACK for any subject you wish. Contact your local Education Consultant for more information.
  2. Assessment A: Select the starting Assessment Point for your comparison (Point A).
  3. Assessment B: Select the end Assessment Point for your comparison (Point B).
  4. Floor Standard: Select the appropriate floor standard for your data (this will only impact the summarised table).
  5. Press Go.

Table A will contain all your iTRACK standards, depending on your school setup.

 

Table B will contain data columns, this time in the summarised 'Below/At/Above/Expected or Better' format, using your selected Floor Standard to draw the line.

6) Hide 'Above Year PoS' Toggle

With the change in curriculum, it is not recommended to have pupil's working in the 'years above'. As a result, this column may not be necessary and you can choose to show or hide it using this toggle.
