I hope you agree with the other ideas in there, too, and anything else you feel could be added or altered, just blog ‘em.

The notion of being able to see the students’ marks across all subjects is an interesting one. There are plenty of schools where this already takes place, albeit through more clunky mechanisms. We had to physically meet at my old school to be able to find out this information, and then use it to work out what made pupil x perform so much better in class y. Used in this way, it can be very helpful for teachers.

That said, I’d hope to see more formative assessment taking place in class, and perhaps this summative testing record will be less used until students hit their exams halfway through secondary.

Thanks for your thoughts.
