Dashboard helps schools pinpoint underperforming GCSE pupils in each subject

Schools can now track the progress of individual pupils in each subject at the touch of a button.

Non-profit company FFT has launched its school subject dashboard as part of its data tool for schools and local authorities - FFT Aspire.

Dashboard data allows subject leaders to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, helping them to boost future GCSE results and prepare for Ofsted inspections.

Teachers can log on and find out more about results, pupil progress and subject performance, as well as comparing the progress of their cohorts to others across the country.

Paul Charman, managing director of FFT, says: "Our new subject dashboard means that subject leaders can really drill down and identify both underperforming children and pupil groups, as well as those doing well, all at the touch of a button."

He adds: "Schools can use data to identify weaknesses in order to help the following year's cohort get better grades as part of their department's long term improvement plan."
