Fifteen years of Tracker+ · A letter from our founder

Made for thinking,
not just tracking.

Traditional trackers
are calculators.

They add up the numbers and stop there. Working out what the numbers mean, writing the reports and finding the children who need help is all still left to you.

A traditional tracker

Data in. Numbers out.

  • You work out what it means
  • You write the reports
  • You find the children who need help
  • You spot the patterns yourself
Tracker+

Data in. Answers out.

  • Reports drafted for you to edit
  • Children who need you, flagged
  • Changes spotted week by week
  • Hours back for teaching

"I absolutely believe we can compress the weeks schools spend on data analysis into hours. And it is already happening."

Capabilities

A tracker that thinks with you.

Every child on one row.

Grades, attendance and groups side by side, coloured by your own scale. A whole class makes sense in seconds.

  • Your own levels, colours and thresholds
  • EYFS, KS1 and KS2 in one view
  • Phonics, times tables check and SATs built in
The Tracker+ class grid for Year 4: each child on one row, with attendance, groups and Autumn grades coloured by the school scale.

The whole school on one page.

Reading, writing, maths and combined for every year group. The gap for each group of children is worked out for you, and every figure opens to the children behind it.

  • Every year group side by side
  • Gaps for PP, SEN and gender, worked out for you
  • Every figure opens to the children behind it
The Tracker+ School Summary: Reading, Writing, Maths and Combined for each year group, with Year 3 opened to show every group of children and its gap.

Reports, drafted from your data.

Headteacher reports, governor summaries and SEF population summaries, drafted in your school's voice. You read it, edit it and decide.

  • Headteacher's Report to Governors
  • Pupil Progress Meeting briefs
  • SEF population summaries
A finished Headteacher Report in the headteacher’s own voice: six key headlines, then the Reading and Writing sections.

Where the hours go

Made for the work that takes you longest.

01

Make every pupil progress meeting count.

Every child's data, notes and actions in one place. Agree what happens next, then see if it worked.

The old way

Spreadsheets printed the night before. Notes in a notebook nobody can find. Actions agreed in the autumn and forgotten by spring. The same children discussed every term with nothing to show for it.

  • Tracker+ flags the children to talk about first
  • Agree actions with a named person and a review date
  • Each meeting opens with the last one's actions, and asks if they worked
02

Walk into every governors' meeting prepared.

Tracker+ drafts each section from live data, asks you about what the numbers don't show, then writes the final report in your voice.

The old way

The night before governors. Data from six places. A report that has to be accurate and still sound like you. Hoping nothing important was missed.

  • Pick the sections. Each one is drafted from live data
  • Tracker+ asks about what it found. You answer in a sentence
  • The final report is written in your voice, learnt from past reports
  • Save versions, copy, open in Word or print
03

Know if your intervention is making a difference.

Compared with similar children. It tells you when it's too early to say.

The old way

Schools spend thousands on catch-up tutoring, phonics boosters and maths recovery. Whether it worked is in the data somewhere, but nobody has the time to find out.

  • Any intervention: cost, children, sessions
  • Compared with similar children who weren't in the group
  • A clear verdict, or “too early to measure”
  • Who it's working for, child by child
Talk for Writing (Y3-4) £4,200 • 18 pupils • 2 terms
Autumn
Spring
Summer
Ahead of similar children

14 of 18 children moved up in Writing since Autumn. Similar children moved up at about half that rate. Children at 90% or more of sessions moved furthest.

04

See attendance slipping in time to act.

Weekly attendance that shows the direction, not just the percentage. Tracker+ reads your notes and checks if attendance improved after each parent meeting.

The old way

A child on 94% looks fine. What you can't see is that they started the year on 100% and have dropped every week since. By 90% they are persistently absent and the habit is set. The signs were there for weeks.

  • Attendance week by week, so a slide shows early
  • Falling attendance flagged, with the weeks shown
  • Checks if attendance improved after parent meetings
  • Children sorted into Priority, Concern and Monitor

SEND Plans & Provision

The SEND tools schools should have been given.

In most trackers, SEND is a separate module. Plans sit in one place, assessment data in another, attendance somewhere else. The SENDCo joins it all up by hand.

In Tracker+, SEND sits in the same system as attainment, attendance and pupil progress meetings. Suggested targets use the same data the headteacher sees in the meeting. Reviews take their snapshots from the same assessments. The governor report draws on all of it.

Designed with a working group of SENDCos, headteachers and locality leads. Tracker+ drafts the plan with you, targets and provision included, from what it already knows about the child.
