Discover the full potential of PAT data and elevate your assessment practice. Understanding PAT is a hands-on, highly practical workshop designed for educators who want to implement PAT confidently and harness the Progressive Achievement approach to support student growth.

Focusing on Maths and Reading domains, you’ll navigate a complete PAT cycle – from initial account setup, assessment policy, and test administration, to accessing and interpreting student results data to identifying meaningful next steps in learning. Using real examples, tutorials, and case studies, you’ll learn how to transform assessment insights into targeted, effective teaching strategies.

This workshop clearly unpacks PAT reporting and data interrogation, giving you the tools to understand what your students know, what they’re ready to learn next, and how to monitor progress over time. With a strong evidence base and a holistic lens, the Progressive Achievement approach empowers educators to make informed decisions that genuinely impact learning.

Recommended prior learning

No previous PAT training is required. To get the most out of the session, we recommend arranging access to your school’s PAT data via a login to your school’s Online Assessment and Reporting System (OARS) account.

You will learn to:

• Understand and apply the Progressive Achievement approach

• Implement PAT effectively across your school

• Analyse and interrogate PAT reports with confidence

• Track student growth and identify next steps in learning
