At Erasmus Darwin Academy we monitor student progress rigorously. The data we collect on students is analysed and evaluated at all levels of leadership. This data is also used to plan our teaching and learning next steps.
WHAT DATA IS COLLECTED?
At Erasmus Darwin Academy we collect the following information to enable us to monitor student progress:
Y7-10
- End of academic year target percentage
- Attitude to learning grade
- Current working at percentage
- Cohort average % (for reference purposes)
- Intervention strategy to assist student if they are identified as not being on track
Y11-13
- Target grade
- Attitude to learning grade
- Current working at grade
- Professional end of year expected grade (this is our indicator to judge whether a student is on track or not)
- Intervention strategy to assist student if they are identified as not being on track
HOW OFTEN IS DATA COLLECTED?
The number of times data is collected varies depending on the stage of education. The information can be seen below:
KS3
Years 7 & 8 – data is collected 2 times per year
Year 9 – data is collected 3 times per year (final data capture includes end of key stage %)
KS4
Year 10 – data is collected 3 times per year
Year 11 – data is collected 2 times per year
KS5
Years 12 & 13 – data is collected 2 times per year
PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress reports are issued to parents following each data capture. The progress reports are designed to identify whether students are on track to achieve their end of year target. One of the progress reports each year will also be accompanied by a written academic summary produced by the student’s form tutor who will highlight the student’s successes along with areas of development and any other comments/information deemed pertinent to supporting the students’ progress.
PARENT CONSULTATION EVENINGS
All students in all year groups have a designated evening during the academic year whereby they can discuss their child’s progress with their child’s subject teachers. In addition to this, depending on the year group/key stage of the student, there will also be additional information evenings for parents to attend providing various information regarding how best to support their child in achieving their highest potential.
