Tracking and Monitoring

An integral part of our daily work is Tracking and Monitoring our students.  We work closely with our Subject Leaders and Data Manager to ensure we have current data on all students and then use this as a tool to implement the necessary support.

Each student receives a target grade in each of their subjects.  These grades are derived from the students’ GCSE results and combined and compared against students nationally who have also achieved the same or similar scores.  We find this data very useful and valid as it provides us with a good benchmark.  Teachers will input assessment data on students and their progress will be compared against their target grades at each formal tracker point.  This information will be visible on BromCom (our new Management Information System that will be live in September).

Interventions

Our data drops are an invaluable tool in helping staff, students, parents and the Sixth Form team monitor student progress.  Subject teachers work hard to ensure that the information they share is as accurate as possible and they give a clear indication as to how the student is performing and their predicted achievement at the end of the academic year. 

Part of our Tracking and Monitoring system includes intervention with specific groups of students.  All students who have underperformed in their mock examinations will attend individual appointments and group seminars on a regular basis; support is personalised for them in order for them to achieve as highly as possible.  They will be given a subject-specific support plan and be required to check in with their subject teachers regularly to show that they have acted on feedback.  They will be provided with regular tips and guidance on how to use study periods effectively and be reminded of helpful revision strategies.  They will all be set individual SMART targets alongside class teachers and reflect on their progress against these regularly.

Subject teachers are also encouraged to offer extra interventions for students whom they have highlighted as needing this extra layer of support.

At all times we will liaise with parents if your son or daughter is receiving any additional support and we very much welcome you being part of the process.
