ExplorePupil Group Progress Analysis
Whole-school averages hide as much as they reveal. The real story is in how different groups are doing: SEND, disadvantaged, EAL, boys and girls, high and low prior attainers. We analyse the progress of your pupil groups independently, so you know which groups are thriving and which need attention.
Below, we explain what a pupil group progress analysis involves, and how it helps you make sure every group is progressing.
What Is Pupil Group Progress Analysis?
It’s an independent analysis of how different pupil groups are achieving and progressing. We break down your data by group, SEND, disadvantaged, EAL, gender, prior attainment, and more, to reveal patterns that whole-school figures hide, and identify which groups need attention.
We focus on the groups behind the averages, so you can see and act on where particular pupils are being underserved.
Who Is It For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. Headteachers, senior leaders, SENCOs, and data leads use it to check that every group is progressing.
Many schools ask for it to check no group is falling behind, focus support, or prepare for the group-level scrutiny inspection brings.

What Does It Cover?

- Progress and attainment by pupil group
- How SEND pupils are achieving
- How disadvantaged pupils are progressing
- How EAL learners are doing
- Gender and prior-attainment differences
- The overlap between groups
- Which groups need attention
- How group data triangulates with other evidence
