Looking for a solution

The school were looking for a better way to track individual students from Year 1 right through to Year 6, as paper-based monitoring of their curriculum was time consuming and ineffective. They wanted to make assessment accessible to all teachers and department heads across the curriculum.

Prior to finding Frog, the Early Years Foundation Stage unit were the only ones using an online tool for tracking children’s progress, but the solution needed to work for the whole school.

FrogProgress fitted their requirements perfectly.
 

Implementation

Looking to get everyone onboard with a new way of tracking pupil progress, St Hilda’s promoted the time-saving benefits of using FrogProgress through a series of staff meetings and training sessions.

It worked in their favour that their newest team members adopted Frog right away, this encouraged others to participate. FrogProgress is currently updated by staff every half-term (termly for some subjects).
 

Use & Impact

FrogProgress is being used in all core subjects and has really opened up conversations, allowing staff to think critically about assessment. It has helped define an effective assessment philosophy.

Faye Smith, Head of Computing at St Hilda’s School is delighted with the positive changes they’ve experienced so far:

“FrogProgress makes assessment much easier. Instead of endless paperwork, it is all uploaded quickly and easily!”
 

Perhaps the most important impact is that staff judgements have become much more meaningful, reflecting the school’s ethos and deep thinking around assessment. Faye continues:

“FrogProgress makes it all very visual, so you can see what areas need working on and where interventions are required.”
