The tracker provides a structured way to record observations, organise assessment information and plan future teaching. The suggested assessment scale helps teachers describe whether skills are emerging, developing, secure or being applied independently.

Assessment criteria and rating labels can be adapted to suit individual pupils and school approaches. The resource is designed to support professional judgement rather than replace formal assessments or curriculum-specific assessment systems.

Please note: The tracker is a flexible teacher-created assessment tool, not an official national assessment framework. Check the supplied file format and editing functionality before use; PDF editability may depend on the export format and software used.
