PUPIL ATTITUDES<br />

PASS Interpretation & Analysis Services<br />

<strong>GL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> has developed a series of Interpretation & Analysis<br />

Services for Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS), designed to help<br />

schools realise the full potential of their PASS data. Whilst PASS report<br />

data gives you a complete overview of a pupil’s attitudes towards<br />

themselves as learners and their attitudes towards school, effective<br />

interpretation and analysis empowers teachers and SENCOs to build<br />

effective intervention programmes and target support to those most in<br />

need. This in turn helps raise standards of attainment and pupil wellbeing.<br />

Various levels of support are offered, enabling you to choose the<br />

level of support most suitable to your needs. The levels of support are<br />

outlined below.<br />

Local Workshop<br />

Workshops held on your premises provide a <strong>guide</strong>d analysis of PASS<br />

data, with opportunities to reflect as well as discuss approaches with<br />

colleagues.<br />

Led by an experienced facilitator with Senior Leadership experience,<br />

workshops can focus on:<br />

• Understanding PASS assessment and interpreting the 9 factors at<br />

strategic and operational levels<br />

• Sharing and using PASS information to inform work with students,<br />

teachers, multi-agency teams and parents<br />

• Using PASS to set smarter monitoring and tracking targets:<br />

– to improve student well-being, behaviour and attendance<br />

– provide effective personalised learning for students working at all<br />

levels of ability<br />

– to reduce disaffection<br />

• Using PASS to identify successful strategies for your school context<br />

Analysis Services<br />

Workshops are based on our Professional Development Modules,<br />

designed to allow maximum flexibility for use in school or with a cluster<br />

of schools. Two modules (D5 and D6) have been specifically developed<br />

to support schools in getting the most from PASS. Each module is<br />

delivered to groups by an experienced, professional facilitator during a<br />

three-hour face-to-face session, making it possible to slot in as an afterschool<br />

session.<br />

£ Available from £ + VAT or less per participant.<br />

(Designed to be delivered on-site with a minimum cost of £ +<br />

VAT for up to participants.<br />

A maximum group size of 2 also applies. This is charged at only<br />

£7 +VAT, reducing significantly the cost per person for larger<br />

groups.<br />

These modules are provided by <strong>GL</strong> Performance, our school<br />

improvement division, and provide a comprehensive solution for your<br />

wider Professional Development need. Many modules are at Masters<br />

level with accreditation from Bath Spa University.<br />

Consultancy Service<br />

Our Consultancy Service is an ideal choice for schools looking for an<br />

even deeper and more strategic level of analysis than is possible<br />

through the group session. As part of the service, schools are partnered<br />

with a skilled and experienced facilitator who helps you get to the heart<br />

of your data, identify the key questions and map out the next steps to<br />

address these.<br />

To enable the depth of analysis required, schools must allow their<br />

facilitator prior access to their PASS data.<br />

Our Consultancy Service gives schools the opportunity of exploring in<br />

detail the key questions arising from the commentary, highlighting and<br />

prioritising appropriate strategies for improving pupil well-being and<br />

learning. Includes consideration of how PASS integrates with other data<br />

in schools to target hard to reach groups, such as fragile learners.<br />

A word on Quality Assurance<br />

To ensure our services have maximum input, our accredited facilitators<br />

have extensive experience at senior leadership level in schools and are<br />

all experienced in working with schools on the use of data to inform<br />

school improvement and review. In addition, our ISO 27001<br />

accreditation means your data is safe with us.<br />

Utilising the same award-winning methodology as PASS, <strong>GL</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> has developed attitudinal<br />

surveys for use by parents/carers 'Parents Attitudes to their Childs <strong>Education</strong>' (PACE) and teachers<br />

‘Staff and Teachers Attitude Questionnaire’ (STAQ). The 20 minute surveys can be completed online or<br />

via a paper version (upon request). For further information, prices or to book a free no obligation<br />

appointment with one of our area consultants, please call 0845 602 1937 or visit<br />
