Lesson Monitor

Lesson Monitor is the school system which records and tracks the attitude to learning of each pupil for every lesson.  This is achieved by the awarding of a Lesson Monitor 'grade' by the teacher.

 

How is Lesson Monitor Data used?

The data in Lesson Monitor will help to identify patterns and actions for pupils and staff alike.  Each term this information is reviewed to see what can happen to help individual and groups of pupils.  The overall aim is to recognise where attitude to learning are at their best and challenge pupils when this attitude falls below the school standard.
