What additional tools do we use to help with setting and evaluating pupil progression?


Trackable is our online assessment tool tracker which allows us to record and report on the targets we set.	EHCPs are support plans for our pupils. They outline a pupil’s individual needs.	Reynalds CrossRoads is our bespoke assessment framework, designed to measure the progress pupils make as they engage with and develop knowledge, skills, and understanding across our curriculum.	Developmental walls outline the small steps that pupils need to make in order to make progress in a range of National Curriculum subjects. These contain elements of the Pre-Key Stage Standards.	The EYFS framework focuses on pupil’s wellbeing and development as they begin growth and prepare for their entrance into compulsory education.	ASDAN is a qualification provider which allow us to accredit work completed by the older pupils.	The Engagement Model is a strategy used to measure the linear and lateral progress of pupils with more complex needs.	The National Curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used by schools so children learn the same things. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.	The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework for school leaders and careers advisors to assess the development of our pupils in employability skills.
