Academic Review and Learning Plan

Twice yearly reviews - 1:1 interviews.

All our students twice a year have a 1:1 interview with their tutor and a parent is present. These focus on academic progress and three school wide targets are written and comments made. This involves paper which is then photocopied and sent to parents, tutor and head of year. As a teacher they know nothing of these targets and the follow up review struggles to monitor progress as some paper is lost.

We have set up Studywiz eportfolios for all our Yr 7, 8, and 9 students. So we created a learning plan folder called academic review and inside a learning plan was created and dated with objectives called target 1, target 2, target 3 and comments. Staff now add in targets and comments and parents can view, pupil can collect and monitor progress over the years and all teachers can view using dashboard and search. Save on cost of posting, photocopying and admin staff time. Wonderful!
