| Learners keep personal records/profiles of their attainment levels and achievement in all curriculum areas. | Learners keep ongoing records/profiles of their achievement so that they can track their pace of development, recognise their success in achieving learning outcomes and assess the effectiveness of their own learning. Children and young people, with appropriate support, produce a learner’s statement for their P7 and S3 profiles and at other times as agreed by the learner, the school and education authority. The learner’s statement clearly articulates their latest and best achievements. Learners in the senior phase use their profiles to validate achievements in their broad general education and beyond to others such as potential employers or colleges. |
| Staff discuss, agree and track individual learner’s achievements, including attainment, across all curriculum areas. | Profiling, based on on-going dialogue and reflection on learning, is used to produce individual profiles, particularly at P7 and S3 and other agreed stages, as a way of recognising achievement. Profiling develops learners’ skills and capabilities to reflect on their learning, and challenges, motivates and supports them to achieve their best. Profiles are used effectively to support and inform points of transitions in learning. Through professional discussion and moderation activities, staff ensure that profiles contain robust information on achievement in literacy and numeracy and information on the level the learner has achieved in all curriculum areas. |
