Pupil progress has change the way our school thinks about data. Instead of data analysis being overwhelming to a lot of teachers, we are now learning what the data tells us and how we can use it to help our students rather than just collecting numbers. Students are now more involved in their progress than ever before with personalised reports for each subject clearly breaking down their subjects into reasonable chunks, making their revision and home learning easier and more importantly, measureable.
Alicia Jolly found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Data analysis now does not need to be done manually. It is very easy to target groups of students for intervention both by class teachers and middle/senior leaders.”
- Significantly provides school data“Class teachers can now easily see the topics their classes and individuals are struggling with. This allows us to adapt our teaching. Curriculum leaders can see the progress of the cohort quickly and can spot potential trends in the topics that student are struggling in.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“By seeing the breakdown by topic, class teachers can easily see the topics they need to reteach of perhaps topics that are less of a priority.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“Teachers can see all the data of their classes easily and all in one place. This allows them to know exactly what each students in aiming for, see quickly whether they are on track of that and if they are not what topic they need to work on in order to reach their target”
- Significantly improves attainment“By being able to teach to gaps in knowledge, students are receiving the teaching they need. Students also receive their own copy of their report which allows them to see exactly what they need to do to improve”

I thoroughly enjoy the way in which pupil progress can be used as a live marking tool, you can identify what students are doing well and what their focus should be from a click of a button. Another area would be how forthcoming the team are with supporting any issues you may come across or anything you may want to adapt.
Rachael Taylor found Pupil Progress:

Everything about pupil progress is outstanding. Their customer service, their assistance and quick responses and actions to problems and being able to provide solutions. Pupil progress is incredibly easy to use and very accessible and the support it can provide to staff for their own development, as well as the pupils, is excellent. I will continue to use pupil progress wherever I go.
Christy O'Donnell found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“the impact on staff using pupilprogress is less on their workload due to the system already being set up for us therefore all they have to do is input data”
- Significantly provides school data“We can use pupilprogress data to help with target setting, grade predictions and also helps with tracking the progress pupils make to feed back to SLT and their school data”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“The pupilprogress tracking data helps with planning blocks of activities and differentiation within each class. Helps us to plan next steps”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“It improves their knowledge of their own pupils as well as curriculum knowledge due to being able to plan their lessons with more challenge”
- Significantly improves attainment“It has been hugely useful to use the 'report' tab for each pupil to use for pupil intervention and parent meetings to show pupil progress. This has helped with target setting and pupil progress meetings and to support their continual learning and eventually their improved attainment.”
Mar 2023
Aside from the points above about how useful the Pupil Progress is, the organisation and support from a range of colleagues across Pupil Progress has been second to none. I can't fault the implementation at any stage and it has been a pleasure to work with colleagues.
Paul O'Sullivan found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“We are currently in the early stages of implementation where there is a lot of CPD and training, despite the interface being incredibly user friendly. Long term, once embedded and utilised effectively, I can certainly see how Pupil Progress will reduce teacher workload. As a Senior Leader, who likes the smaller details, this has reduced my workload and made it easier for me to find out key information at just a few quick clicks; this has really helped my efficiency and supported Middle Leaders as I can find the information myself as opposed to request the information from staff.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Pupil progress has really supported teachers at with bespoke question level analysis for individual students and overall subjects. The information that pupil progress provides teachers/leaders enables follow up actions to be strategically targeted at the students who need it most, and on the topics the best match their gaps in knowledge.”
- Significantly improves parent engagement
- Significantly improves attainment“A huge part of teaching is 'addressing the gaps' and pupil progress is a really user friendly interface that tells us what these gaps are. These topics and knowledge that are not secure, or not in line with expected progress, are then used by class teachers or subject leaders to provide adaptive lessons and curricula.”

It has been brilliant to use a system that automatically updates and shows progress scores without needing our data manager to calculate these. Some teachers have struggled with a lack of flexibility within the trackers to make small changes. If reports could be seen by parents through an app or email system it would be a 10.
Katie Darmody found Pupil Progress:
- Does not significantly reduce teacher workload“Similar time spent inputting data for individual class teachers.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Subject leaders and school leaders can automatically see after data drops where they need to put intervention into place.”

This has changed my approach towards analysing data. The software provides an individual process which serves each subject. No longer am I getting overall data, I have how far off students are from grades, areas of weakness and strength. The software is easily to work and the team at pupil progress have always helped when I've requested it or needed to alter issues. This doesn't happen for individual subject leaders with the older software used. This is much more than an overall picture of your subject. It's a journey the staff and students can clearly see and get to the desired end goal.
Mark Thompson found Pupil Progress:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“It allows the department to focus on areas of weakness regarding particular questions so we focus on these. This stops needless planning of questions they are comfortable with. Discussions are easily led in department meetings as a result of the data and how it is displayed regarding individual students and classes.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Teachers can precisely pinpoint areas students need to work on. This can be question based or AO based. The software is easily for all teachers to use to effectively know the strengths and weaknesses according to the GCSE or A-Level papers.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“The knowledge of question weaknesses for students has allowed my department to initiate professional development in how to tackle these questions. This being externally led or through external exam board sessions. Teachers within the department feel much more confident with their knowledge of the papers demands.”
- Significantly improves attainment“It is easy for students to get their own individual report which tell them weaknesses in AO's or on particular questions. Targets can be easily set to drive standards and attainment in these areas to drive outcomes for each student according to their needs on the paper or course.”
