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.
