For 73% of you, it’s halfterm… We hope it’s a restful one!
As this week is half term for most of you, you’d be forgiven for thinking about jetting off somewhere sunny when we mention “flightpaths”… but we’re actually talking about student data. More specifically, data that attempts to map the progress journey that students are expected to follow, normally based on data relating to students’ prior attainment.
Given that 28% of you don’t know whether students at your school are given a “flightpath,” and 53% are sure that they are not, it seems that “flightpaths” are a thing of the (flight)past!
“Flightpaths” were always rare in primary (only 14% said they had them back in 2019, dropping to 6% now) but even in secondary, there has been a massive reduction from over half of teachers in 2019 saying they existed to just under a third now.
