Primary

Does your Multi Academy Trust need its own ‘bespoke’ Primary School assessment system?

Do you need a system flexible enough to allow schools to manage their own assessment policy, while consolidating their results so that MAT management can compare schools’ progress and attainment?

With support from our Primary Progress toolkit it’s easy to create such a ‘bespoke’ system.

Schools can:

pick their own manageable set of subjects, statements/objectives (the toolkit can import these or provide a default set to edit).

agree a set of assessment grades, which define pupils’ steps towards mastering the curriculum (the toolkit can cope with any set of assessment grades).

use a quick and easy way for teachers to record their assessments (the toolkit provides this).

set Age Related Expectations for each term (the toolkit has a simple way to set these).

analyse which pupils are making expected progress and which need support to get them on track (the toolkit provides multiple reports)

The MAT gets:

a dashboard giving access to all the individual school toolkits, together with overview reports which summarise results at MAT level and compare schools performance.

So, if you aren´t 100% satisfied with your current assessment tracking system, why not check out our Online Primary Progress toolkit at primaryprogresstoolkit.co.uk?

If you need more information, or would like to discuss your specific needs, email me at statsed@gmail.com.

We can give you free access to a demo site, where you can try out the toolkit for yourself.

Do you need classroom tables and chairs at short notice ….?

It can be rather worrying to find out  with just  two or three weeks before the start of another school year that some classrooms may not have enough tables and chairs.

The explanation may be simple, the person who normally deals with ordering has been unwell or has changed jobs…or perhaps there will be a larger than normal intake.

But whatever the reason you now an urgent need for tables and chairs to fill the empty classrooms as quickly as possible.  If you can be somewhat flexible with specifications  eg. colour, design, size etc then you may stand a better chance of equipping your classrooms sooner rather than later.

If this is, or might be, the situation in your organisation, then a quick phone  call to Central Educational Supplies Ltd on 020 7515 1797 may be a shrewd move (If you prefer email it’s info@centraleducational.co.uk).  Please ask for Martin Evans who will be pleased to assist.
