APP
Assessing pupils’ progress (APP) is a national approach to
assessment that equips teachers to make judgements on pupils’
progress.
It helps teachers to fine-tune their understanding of pupils’ needs
and tailor their planning and teaching accordingly, by enabling
them to:
track pupils’ progress
use diagnostic information about pupils’ strengths and weaknesses
to improve teaching, learning and pupils’ progress
make reliable judgements related to national standards drawing on
a wide range of evidence.

How we use Assessment Data
What Assessment Data do we
already have?
When your child is enrolled at Thornleigh we are
able to access their KS2 results as soon as they are
published.
This is not just simple levels like:
English: Level 4
Maths: Level 3
We receive a full break down of how each student
performed in each test paper.

What do we use KS2 results for?
• At Thornleigh we set all students for English
and Maths right from the beginning of Year 7.
• There are 5 sets in each half of the year
• This setting is refined as the year progresses.
• We also use the KS2 data to set each student
targets in all their subjects.
Target Setting at Key Stage 3
The Government expects all students to make a
minimum of two levels of progress between the
end of KS2 and the end of KS3.
In English and Maths we take a student’s KS2
sub-level in that subject to set the target.
In all other areas of the curriculum we use an
average of a student’s English and maths sublevels.
CAT Tests
• All Year 7 students took a series of Cognitive
Abilities Tests (CATs) last week.
• These are currently being marked.
• We use these to give every class teacher
additional information about each student’s
strengths and weaknesses.
Class Teacher’s Use of Key Data
On-Going Teacher Assessment
• A teacher’s assessment of their students is ongoing all the time.
• However, we collect a formal assessment of
every student 3 times a year.
• Parents are informed of these results through
a Progress Report or a more detailed Full
Report.
• We also use this data to track how well each
student is doing relative to their targets.
