What is Pupil Progress?
A subject, exam board, and qualification specific tracking system designed to calculate the grade a student is working at in your class, exactly as the exam board you are using does.

PP would be an asset to any school, for all the reasons mentioned before.The team are extremely helpful and have tailored/personalised our package to meet our school needs.

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.”

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.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge

The tool has, and will continue to contribute to the success of our pupils.

- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Pupil Progress supports teachers in making the correct adaptations to their teaching by proving them with live analysis of the effectiveness of their teaching.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“Trackers help teachers diagnose gaps in learning quickly and effectively. The platform helps teachers learn, through effective assessment, how to improve the success of students.”
- Significantly improves attainment“As we are more easily able to identify gaps in learning through Pupil Progress, we are more able to target specific and effective reteach and support exactly where it is needed.”

Pupil Progress is everything a teacher wants in data and assessment. It provides effortless assessment and analytical tools to enable teachers to do their job effectively. I have never seen a system this responsive to teacher needs before. 10/10
Rich found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Teachers can spend less time analysing data using generic data assessment tools sue to Pupil Progress's intelligent analytical approach.”

- Significantly improves attainment“Using pupil progress on a student level can give students a visual of where marks have been awarded and why. it also provides teachers with dialogue to discuss what the impact of being absent has on their progress.”

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.”
- Moderately improves teacher knowledge“Teachers can more easily see strengths and weaknesses within AOs.”
- Moderately improves attainment“School leaders can more easily see pupils who need support with NEA work and also key classes that need additional support.”

Easy and effective! Outstanding support from the technical team. Just a game changer in terms of data and how to use it!
Lorraine Coram found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I have control over my own data - I no longer need to wait for others to upload information to enable me to complete analysis. Instead I have the most up to date information on my classes and clear overview on my cohorts which allows me to work to my own schedules. It also enables data to be live and real - rather than working with information which is out of date and /irrelevant. Lastly, all my data is in one place - I don't need to log in to various platforms to complete my analysis etc.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Timely intervention - based on live data!”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“I can quickly and easily see areas that my students are struggline with - it improves my knowledge of the students, but also my knowledge of my courses - in terms of what is being assessed when.”

Amazing software, amazing company, remarkable teacher reduction in data analysis and tracking creation

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.”

Pupil Progress is not just a platform for storing results, it is a vital tool to support both teaching and learning. The support that the school has received has been second to none. Brett, Barnaby and Marta have been outstanding in helping our school to get to grips with Pupil Progress. The chat facility is great with immediate response and the 'How to' tutorial clips are excellent. We look forward to continuing the partnership for the next few years.
Nia Wyn Roberts found Pupil Progress:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“There is no need to keep the old type of mark book or to struggle with number crunching as Pupil Progress does all this for staff.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Pupil Progress enables staff to drill down to identify areas which may required further teaching or support to secure learner progression.”
- Significantly improves teacher knowledge“It enables teachers to know what they taught effectively and what needs further work. It also enables teacher to be more confident when providing grades for learners as all grades have been calculated using previous grade boundaries. It also stores a wealth of evidence which has been utilised to support Centre Determined Grades in 2021 and Teacher Assessed Grades in 2020.”
- Significantly improves attainment“When sharing marks with learners, they are able to clearly identify their strengths and weaknesses. They can also see that if they work on specific aspects of certain questions, they can secure additional marks which then has an overall impact on their grade. I have used it to demonstrate what difference an extra one or two marks can have on a final grade.”

Since using pupil progress my team and I have been able to be more consistent in our marking and moderation process. we don't need to guess a bracket grade for assignments we design ourselves it is done for us. The fact that each student has an individual report really helps for more meaningful discussions about their progress and the next step they need to take in their learning. Overall, an excellent tool that has made my job as a HOF such much easier. It is very easy to use even if your tech skills are limited. There is always help and very often it is instant with the online chat. So if you are filling in a tracker and you encounter a difficulty there is always someone to help you.
