Parents Evening - Student Grade Visualisation This spreadsheet has two worksheets - Data and Display. The Data worksheet is where you can add students first and last names - in adherence with GDPR these names are edited with a formula to display the first name and initial only - as well as the effort, behaviour and homework scores for each student. The scores are in the 1-4 format where 1 is the highest grade. In addition the students current and target grade are entered to allow the spreadsheet to calculate how much progress they have made towards their target. The Display spreadsheet has a drop-down box with all of the students names. Here you can select a student to view the data as well as a graphical display of their progress. This has been a valuable resource during parents evenings and for 1:1 discussions with students.

This resource is for both teachers and senior management, enabling you to accurately track subject specific actions taken to support Pupil Premium students. Sourcing potential strategies from the Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit, the Pupil Premium Records Tracker encourages you to keep a record of instances where a strategy may be applied to support PP students and give reasons. All entries to the Pupil Premium Records Tracker are time and date stamped and sorted so only specific students records are viewed when they are selected. There is a print button built into the application which will automatically provide a print-preview of the worksheet. The bespoke data entry system (Update Records) allows you to select a Pupil Premium student, teacher, identify the current topic, detail current performance grades, select a suitable strategy (built-in to the system) and leave a detailed comment. Within the data entry section of the application you can enter the students name and if they are a Pupil Premium student. You can also enter the names of teachers - if used within a department you may include all relevant staff and if used school-wide include Heads of Department only (identifying specific teachers in the comments section). The application is password protected but there is no password needed to unlock the worksheets.
