Progress File
Reporting summative information in the final years of
key stage 4 and sixth form:
“Schools are required to ensure that the following information is
included in addition to the annual report :
• any qualification, award or certificate gained by a pupil, including
any credit towards a qualification that a pupil has received from the
school, or on behalf of the school via another provider…..
• This information should also set out the name of the qualification,
award or certificate, the highest result and the year achieved;
• brief particulars of any school societies, clubs or activities in which
the pupil was involved, including at another school; and
• any positions of responsibility held by the pupil in the school or any
of the above school clubs or activities.”

The Progress File Process
“ The progress file process complements the
careers education, information, advice and
guidance curriculum; pupils continually update
their career plan, and at each transition stage
complete a standard career plan for inclusion in
the progress file. The progress file is then used
to inform careers advice and guidance, the
selection of work-related learning opportunities,
mock interviews and the development of
personal statements.”

Components of Learning Guidance

Effective use of the Progress File
PUPILS:
• Reflect on their achievements;
• Set targets for progression and achievement in
their learning and to inform their career decision
making;
• Review their target setting process at the twiceyearly pupil appraisal interviews; and
• Report a strong sense of ownership of the
process.
Effective use of the Progress File
TEACHERS:
• Facilitate year 8 pupils to complete a review of their KS2
achievements and using this information as a baseline
from which to set targets for their new post primary
school;
• Focus sharply on developing the pupils’ target setting
skills;
• Embed the development of the skills within a series of
lessons within the pastoral programme; and
• Review the target setting process at the twice-yearly
pupil appraisal interviews.

The e-progress file Pilot in
Hunterhouse College
Introduction
• Hunterhouse College is a Cross Community Grammar
School for girls.
• Prior to e-progress file the paper version was and is still
in use with all Key Stages.
• In Sixth Form it has been used for the following
purposes
• Personal Development
• Career Planning and Application to HE
• As a hook to hold together the various challenges in the
Certificate of Personal Effectiveness.
• When provided with the opportunity to pilot e-progress
file NI it seemed appropriate in light of our Personal
Development ethos in Sixth Form
Hunterhouse College Pilot
• Our pilot of e-progress file involved
• 8 members of staff – 4 Personal Development Tutors
and 4 Careers Tutors
• 100 Year 13 pupils
• All available ICT facilities in the school
• The lesson was conducted at lunchtime in order to free
up ICT facilities
• Training for Staff happened in August
Advantages and Challenges
• A big advantage for the pupils was a place to
put everything that related to personal
development
• A big advantage for staff was being able to
monitor progress
• A big challenge for staff was teaching at
lunchtime in order to have the required ICT
facilities
Sixth Form Personal Development

development and the independent learner mindset on.
• It encourages a new way of thinking.
• It encourages planning and espouses the plan-do-review
road to success.
• It engages pupils in a continuous progress monitoring,
checking and reviewing process.
• It engages pupils in assessing their skills, looking to
their strengths and weaknesses, identifying areas for
improvement and developing the skills they lack.
• It supports life long learning and the collection of
evidence.

strands of Personal
Development together

ETI:Using the Progress File
“In the majority of schools, the progress file is not used
well to inform any robust target-setting, and does not
inform a regular collaborative review process between
the teachers and the pupils. In these schools the
management of the progress file has not developed
sufficiently from that of the record of achievement and
there is a persistent lack of integration between the
progress file and other aspects of the curriculum; there
is little evidence that the progress file is valued by
pupils”
68
Effective Use of Progress File
“is used effectively by pupils to reflect on their
achievements, to set targets for progression and
achievement in their learning and to inform their
career decision making.
In the best practice, the progress file works
effectively because it is fully supported by the
senior management team, and is sharply focused
on developing the pupils target setting skills”
