THE PROGRESS PASSPORT

Make improvement
visible.

A clear record of skills, thoughtful practice and work worth keeping. Teacher-confirmed evidence shows what a student can do independently.

EXPLORE A FICTIONAL STUDENT’S JOURNEY

Explaining an inference

Practising

“I have a sensible idea.
Now I need to explain my evidence.”

The starting response identifies a feeling but does not explain how a chosen detail supports it.

NEXT STEP

Choose a small detail and explain its connection to your inference.

FOUR CLEAR STAGES

Earned through evidence.

  1. 01

    Introduced

    I have encountered the skill and seen it explained.

  2. 02

    Practising

    I can attempt it, using support where needed.

  3. 03

    Independent

    I have demonstrated it without a model, prompt or correction on the assessed response.

  4. 04

    Sustained

    My teacher has confirmed two independent demonstrations at least two weeks apart: different texts for reading, or different prompts for writing.

Stages apply to specific skills. Completing a pack does not automatically advance a skill. These are programme descriptors, not standardised attainment scores.

ACHIEVEMENTS THAT MEAN SOMETHING

Celebrate the habits
that help.

Recognition is tied to an observable action, with an example in the student’s work. Students can choose a piece they are proud of and explain why.

FEEDBACK INTO ACTION

You completed your individual improvement task and can show the change.

PURPOSEFUL REVISION

You changed a sentence or paragraph and explained why it now works better.

RETURN & REMEMBER

You used earlier vocabulary accurately in a new task.

SIX PRACTICE CYCLES

You completed six learning and feedback cycles and selected a before-and-after example. This recognises participation.

THE WHOLE PICTURE

Six areas to grow.

Understanding and evidence · Interpretation · Vocabulary · Sentence control · Composition · Revision

A summary after six completed study weeks and a fuller report after twelve bring together fresh tasks, teacher observations and selected earlier work. Parents see specific improvements, evidence of independence and the next priorities. Reports are included across all payment options once the relevant weeks are completed. These records describe progress in the programme; they do not predict a GCSE grade. Breaks are handled flexibly; there are no public rankings or lost streaks.

This page is an interactive demonstration using fictional examples. Each family receives its own progress record. The examples on this page are fictional and do not contain student data.
