New in the Tracking & Monitoring Tool:
Following the annual review of our Tracking & Monitoring Tool and feedback from our users, we have now included several additional analyses and reports to the tool:
· Selection of target (GCSE or Centre) to be used in the analysis
· New progress filters allowing you to identify students who are 1, 2 or 3 grades below targets or are failing
· Showing percentages next to the numbers of students in the Group progress and Subject progress
Developing “Parent report” in the Tracking & Monitoring Tool:
We are currently developing a new parent report in the Tracking & Monitoring Tool. We would greatly welcome your views on this. To share your ideas with us email us on datadashboard@learningplusuk.org

Big Numbers:
Following the release of the summer 2014 A level and GCSE results, we looked into the uptake and achievement of different grades for Ebacc Subjects at A Levels and GCSE. Our interactive Big Numbers on A Levels and on GCSEs show the trend across the past three years and give a comparison of the uptake and achievement for boys and girls.
