Progress doesn’t always fit neatly into age-related expectations
For pupils with SEND, progress doesn’t always fit neatly into age-related expectations.
As a SENCO or leader in a specialist setting, you need to recognise the small steps of progress that matter, understand what pupils should work on next and demonstrate that progress clearly to teachers, parents, governors and other professionals.
iTRACK and iASEND bring that information together in one connected system.
Track small-step learning, EHCP outcomes, evidence and wider curriculum attainment, while giving pupils the flexibility to move between SEND and age-related curriculum tracking when appropriate.
Make every step of progress visible
For some pupils, a traditional assessment framework can make significant progress almost invisible.
iASEND is designed specifically for pupils working below age-related expectations, breaking learning down into smaller, meaningful steps so that progress can be recognised and celebrated.
Rather than focusing on a pupil’s actual age, assessment can focus on the curriculum stage at which they are working.
Track both new learning and the depth and retention of learning, giving teachers a more meaningful understanding of what a pupil can do and what they are ready to learn next.
Reports, analysis and pupil flightpaths then help turn those assessments into a clear picture of progress.
Bring EHCP outcomes into the same picture
EHCP targets shouldn’t sit separately from the learning taking place every day.
Within iASEND, schools can create and track individual EHCP outcomes and targets, allowing progress towards a pupil’s personal priorities to sit alongside their academic assessment.
This helps you build a more complete picture of the whole child – bringing together academic progress, personal development and individual EHCP objectives.
For SENCOs, that means clearer oversight of progress and evidence to support conversations with staff, families and other professionals.
Capture the evidence behind the assessment
Sometimes a score or assessment judgement isn’t enough to demonstrate what a pupil has achieved.
iASEND Evidence allows staff to capture observations and photographs and connect it to pupil progress.
Evidence can help demonstrate the journey behind an assessment, creating a clearer visual record of achievement that can be shared with parents and carers and used to support conversations with external professionals, Local Authorities and Ofsted.
It means progress isn’t simply recorded – you can show the evidence behind it.
Follow pupils from Early Years to Secondary
Your school may educate children across several phases. Your tracking system can do the same.
iTRACK supports Early Years and Kindergarten assessment, including formative and summative assessment, observations and individual pupil tracking.
As pupils move into Primary and then Secondary, their attainment and progress can continue to be tracked within the wider iTRACK environment.
Secondary departments can use assessment models appropriate to their subjects and courses, including the ability to monitor coursework and different course components.
It gives leaders greater continuity across the school without expecting every phase to assess in exactly the same way.
One system – with the flexibility each part of your school needs
A Kindergarten teacher doesn’t need the same information as a Secondary subject leader. But your leadership team needs to understand both.
iTRACK provides different approaches to assessment within the same wider system.
For Early Years and Kindergarten
Track observations, evidence, targets, learning and development.
For Primary
Track formative and summative attainment and progress across subjects and curriculum objectives.
For Secondary
Monitor subjects, courses, targets, coursework and different assessment components.
For school leaders
Analyse performance across cohorts, subjects, pupil groups and individual learners.
One connected system – without forcing every part of your school into the same assessment model.
Using the English National Curriculum?
International schools following the English National Curriculum can access additional iTRACK tools designed specifically around it.
Online Maths and Reading assessments for Years 1–6 can help teachers identify what pupils know and where gaps in learning exist.
Maths assessments follow the English National Curriculum and White Rose scheme of learning, with termly assessments available across Years 1–6.
Schools can also access iASEND, our specialist SEND tracking system for pupils working below age-related expectations. It breaks National Curriculum learning into smaller steps, helping staff identify and demonstrate progress that might otherwise be difficult to see.
These tools are particularly suited to schools following the English National Curriculum, while the wider iTRACK tracking platform remains flexible for international and bespoke curricula.
Make every step of SEND progress visible
For pupils with SEND, progress does not always follow age-related expectations. iASEND provides specialist small-step tracking to help international schools recognise achievement, record evidence and plan the next steps in learning.
Schools can use pre-set objectives based on the English curriculum, including learning at the earliest levels through to the Engagement Model. Alternatively, they can add their own custom subjects and curriculum objectives, so assessment reflects what individual pupils are actually learning.
Staff can record observations and supporting evidence of progress, then share observations directly with parents through the Parent Portal. This helps families see the small but important steps pupils are making, while giving teachers a clearer picture of each learner’s development.
Whether your school follows the English curriculum or uses a bespoke approach, iASEND offers flexible SEND tracking alongside your wider school assessment.
Learn more about SEND TrackingUnderstand more than attainment and progress
Your school is more than its assessment data. iTRACK Surveys helps international schools understand the views and experiences of their wider school community.
Available surveys include:
- Pupil Happiness & Safety
- Pupil Attitudes to Learning
- Parent Surveys
- Staff Surveys
- Governor / Governance Surveys
Gather responses online and analyse the results to identify themes, strengths and areas that may require further attention.
For international school leaders, this can provide another valuable layer of evidence alongside attainment and progress – helping you understand how your pupils, parents and staff experience your school.

For older pupils, academic attainment is only one part of understanding their strengths and potential.
Deep Personality 100 provides a deeper exploration of personality and individual characteristics.
The survey can be used with Secondary-aged students and staff, giving schools another way to explore the characteristics, preferences and differences that can influence individuals.
Schools can also use Deep Personality 100 with staff or as part of recruitment, extending insight beyond pupils to the wider organisation.
This sits alongside iTRACK’s academic and school insight tools, helping international schools develop a broader understanding of the people within their community.

If you operate more than one international school, understanding performance across the group shouldn’t mean manually bringing together separate spreadsheets and reports.
iTRACK Strategic brings data from multiple iTRACK schools together into one central view.
Group leaders can compare attainment and progress across schools, year groups, subjects and components, helping you identify:
- Schools or areas performing particularly strongly
- Differences in attainment and progress between schools
- Subjects or curriculum areas requiring attention
- Patterns across year groups and cohorts
- Opportunities for schools to learn from each other
Information from individual schools updates into the strategic view, reducing the need to repeatedly collect and combine data manually.
For international school groups, networks or organisations operating across multiple locations, it provides a clearer picture of performance across your schools.
Compare what matters across your schools
Different schools within an international group may have their own identity, but group leaders still need consistent information.
Where schools use common assessment terminology and frameworks, iTRACK Strategic can compare results across the group.
Move from the overall group picture into individual schools, year groups, subjects and components to understand what sits behind the headline figures.
This means your central team can identify where performance is strongest, where support may be needed and where good practice could be shared between schools.
Instead of waiting for every school to send another spreadsheet, leaders have one place to understand the bigger picture.

Different people need different levels of information.
For teachers
Assessment information that helps them understand individual pupils and what they need to learn next.
For phase and subject leaders
Analysis across classes, cohorts, subjects and curriculum areas.
For school leaders
A clearer whole-school picture from Early Years through to Secondary.
For international school groups
iTRACK Strategic brings multiple schools together to provide a wider strategic view.
Everyone can work from the level of information they need – while contributing to a more connected picture.
Less time bringing data together. More time using it.
When information sits in different systems, understanding what is happening across your school – or across several schools – becomes unnecessarily difficult. iTRACK is designed to bring those different areas closer together, all with the flexibility to build assessment around the curriculum your school actually teaches.
