Pupils’ progress in ICT capability

Realistically, the ICT Mark standard recognises that it can take time to ensure all pupil groups achieve equally well. The threshold is Level 3: “Pupils make clear year-on-year progress in ICT, but a few make uneven progress in some aspects.” Through the opportunities they receive, most pupils are becoming highly confident in using ICT independently. The school is using data on ICT progress to ensure that potentially disadvantaged pupils’ achievement is at least satisfactorily.

Many schools still like the simplicity of the Kent NGFL tracking system. This is an Excel document which enables the teacher to track pupil progress against levelled expectations. Information on pupil progress is then displayed as a traffic light system, clearly identifying high and low achievers. Although this model is based around the QCA document, it can be easily edited to support the school in view of changes made in adopting a creative curriculum.
