How PpiT can contribute to school improvement
Because PpiT involves teachers, is easy to use and links with intervention, it helps ensure that tracking has an impact on pupil progress.
The user section in the Downloads page, has some very useful guidance based on practical experience, of how to use PpiT effectively to improve assessment and tracking so that it contributes to raising achievement and attainment.
PpiT, school self evaluation and Ofsted!
PpiT provides for each year the following information that is invaluable to self evaluation:
- How effective intervention has been (by showing the progress made by pupils on intervention programmes)
- The relation of targets to national expectations for individuals, classes, cohorts and different groups
- The number of sub-levels progress made by all pupils or different groups across each term, year and key stage
- Progress across the Foundation Stage
It does this in the form of easily produced:
- Progress charts (similar to those recommended in DfES's 'Intensifying Support Programme')
- Graphs
- Summary tables of data
- Calculations of aggregated levels and average point scores etc
These data provide an up-to-date picture of attainment, achievement and progress across the whole school, adding considerably to the data contained in RAISEonline. See also FAQ for differences between PpiT and RAISEonline.
Such information is a crucial addition to the evidence on targets, attainment and progress presented by the school for an inspection.
