Support for primary school managers
Although the tools provided by MFWorks cannot reduce the amount of additional requirements on school managers they can, and do, help provide a simple and clear view of the educational progress and attainment of the children in the school. Tracking tools are available to help determine how pupils are progressing term on term and year on year (including group analysis for EAL, SEN, FSM etc). Analysis tools are available for the end of the EYFS and key stage results. (and by the end of this academic year the Y1 phonics tests)
Training Preparation to support the inspection process and guidance for class teachers on how to interpret their class data and how to use it to ensure the children in their class make good progress.
Tracking Pupil Progress Specialist tools for tracking children through the Foundation Stage and then through KS1 and KS2. The tracking tools provide information for progress made through reading, writing and maths. Average point scores are calculated, analysis is shown for different groups of children, (FSM and other vulnerable groups) providing essential information for the new inspection process. SIMs exports are easily imported into the system making it easy to update and manage.

The work of the senior management team in a primary school of any size seems to have increased exponentially over the past years regardless of the size of school. Headteacher and their SMTs are now expected to be everything from policemen to accountants, social workers to building inspectors with, it seems, at times, the work of education coming a poor second.
