Welcome back to the Pupil Asset Newsletter! We hope you're having a fantastic Spring Term. As always, we like to keep our customers updated with what’s happening, so in this edition, we’ve got some exciting updates, important deadlines, and opportunities you won't want to miss.
Curriculum coverage and gap analysis
As we approach the end of Spring Term, it is likely that you’ll be considering which children are on track to achieve end of year or end of Key Stage Standards. If your teachers are using the formative assessment (statements) in Pupil Asset, there are valuable tools to give see where the gaps in knowledge are for each class or cohort, and to show teachers which elements of the curriculum are still to be covered.
The Spring End Juniper Benchmark Report is due out shortly after the Easter holidays.
In order for assessments to be included in the reports, they must be added into Pupil Asset by Friday 5th April at 5pm. Any data added after that date will not be included and reports cannot be re-run, so please share this date with staff.
The Spring 2 Benchmark Report is the first of the next batch of three termly reports. The cost for the next three reports has been reduced to just £65 (ex VAT) and we will be sending an invoice in March. If you opted out of receiving these reports last year, you won’t be included, but if you have changed your mind, please let us know by Thursday 28th March by emailing us at csschool@junipereducation.org.
If you haven’t seen these fantastic reports before, they compare your own school’s assessment data (including year groups and context groups) to local and national averages. You can see an example report here.
