Guidance on recording levels for Summary of Achievement (Pupil Reports) and Tracking.

Each Level has 3 big steps – for example 1st Level is split into P2, P3 & P4.  To help us assess progress each of these steps is split into three smaller steps F1 – 3, F4 – 6 & F5 – 7.

Use the Education Scotland benchmarks to help you assess the achievement of a level and use the Progressions to help you assess a pupil’s progress through the level.

Working with colleagues to moderate assessment is a valuable way to ensure a shared understanding of what is expected at each level.

When predicting levels remember that the expectation is that average pupil will move up the three smaller steps in a school year.   For example, a pupil starting P1 working around E7 is likely to be working around E9 at the end of P1.  Children develop and progress at different rates so some may only move up one small step and others three or more.

The Summary of Achievement (Pupil Report) is issued to parents twice a year in November and May.  Tracking information should be completed in November, February, and June.

For those children sitting at AP in the above Tracking to Reporting Guidance, it is recommended that this additional tracker is used (please expand/download). This will give a clearer picture on how these pupils are progressing across the curriculum. You do not have to complete all Es and Os / milestones but it is a useful tool for linking to IEP target areas or the main areas of the curriculum that the child is focussing on.
