Track your students progress for each assessment object, input marks for each AO and see how many marks they need to pick up to move grades. Show it to the students to enable them to see what they need to improve, it is a powerful and motivating way to keep students engaged! There are 2 spreadsheets, one for marks and the other: a colour coded tracker. I put this up at the beginning of each GCSE lesson to help the students see what they need to do. It works! Please note that as the grade boundaries change you may need to alter some of the formulas.
