OTrack

OTrack is a customisable solution to monitor the progress and attainment of pupils in early years. Teachers can assess pupils formatively and view reports that enable them to highlight knowledge gaps and tailor lessons accordingly. Senior management also has access to a wide range of reports from not only the formative data, but also from summative assessments that are made each half term. There are a range of different options available to schools in terms of their curriculum content and reporting needs.
