What is Included?

This resource provides separate GCSE and A Level forms for recording progress throughout a project. Teachers can use the proformas to identify starting points, review visible evidence, discuss barriers and agree practical next steps with each student.

The resource includes:

  • Initial skills and confidence audit and baseline review
  • Half-term progress review and mid-project checkpoint
  • Final project reflection and student self-assessment
  • Teacher feedback and agreed-target sections
  • Space for attendance and missed-work concerns
  • Separate GCSE and A Level PDF and editable Word versions

How to Use the Student Progress Review Proformas

Use the forms at selected review points rather than completing every page at once. Encourage the student to identify evidence in their sketchbook, portfolio or practical work before adding teacher feedback and agreeing a manageable next step.

  • Complete the initial audit at the beginning of a course or substantial project.
  • Use the baseline review when enough work exists to identify a meaningful starting point.
  • Schedule half-term and mid-project reviews when new evidence is available.
  • Ask students to complete their self-assessment before discussing teacher feedback.
  • Record attendance or missed-work concerns alongside a realistic recovery action.
  • Use the final reflection to recognise progress and inform the next project.

Suitable for GCSE and A Level Art & Design

The proformas can support Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Communication students across different examination boards. Teachers can adapt the editable Word version to match current projects, departmental review systems and the recording needs of individual students.
