Cautionary Notes
Progress 8 outputs are based on historical data and should be treated as indicative, not definitive.
Ensure KS2 data is uploaded if you want to use features that depend on it.
Check that student group labels from the MIS are accurate before comparing subgroups.
Snapshot comparisons are only meaningful when the two snapshots represent different points in time.
If your school does not have all students taking all subjects, subject comparisons may need additional context.
Tips for Efficiency
Use filters to compare groups quickly instead of manually exporting and sorting data.
Create snapshots at regular milestones so progress can be reviewed without chasing staff for tracker updates.
Use the average score row to quickly identify subjects that need deeper investigation.
Compare PP and non-PP first when reviewing equity gaps, then expand to SEN and other groups.
Use snapshots to evidence the impact of interventions and remedial work over time.
