Progress and Outcomes Assessment
Accurate and on-going assessment is fundamental to the setting of challenging targets and creating stimulating opportunities for learning. At The Grove, Pupil progress is measured using our own bespoke assessment grid, with a progress trajectory generated from the Pupil’s Profile and baseline data.
The school has developed its own software that uses levelled ‘I Can’ statements to track progress for pupils across Pre Key Stage standards, National Curriculum levels, Pre Entry, and Entry levels. Progress data in core subjects is updated termly and analysed by the assessment lead.
We also track progress toward EHCP outcomes through a termly review of each pupil’s PLP, using books, EARWIG, and subject folders as appropriate for the individual.
