ADHD in pupil progress reviews is typically recorded through detailed observations of how ADHD symptoms affect a student’s academic performance, behaviour, and social interactions. Teachers and school staff track the student’s progress over time, noting both strengths and areas of struggle.

Progress Tracking 

Progress tracking involves documenting how the student responds to classroom interventions and accommodations, such as extended test times, preferential seating, or task breakdowns. Teachers note improvements or challenges in the student’s ability to complete assignments, participate in class, and maintain focus. For students with ADHD, these reviews often focus on whether the implemented strategies are helping manage symptoms like inattention or impulsivity. 

Student Evaluations 

In student evaluations, ADHD is recorded by highlighting the ways the disorder affects the student’s learning environment. Teachers may comment on behaviours such as difficulty following instructions, frequent distractions, or problems staying seated. Additionally, social and emotional challenges, such as peer relationships or frustration in completing tasks, are noted. These evaluations help to identify patterns in the student’s academic performance and social interactions, which are essential for understanding the full impact of ADHD. 

Reporting ADHD Impact 

Finally, reporting ADHD impact in pupil progress reviews provides a clear picture of the ongoing needs of the student. It ensures that the necessary accommodations and adjustments are made to support their academic success and well-being. 

In conclusion, ADHD in pupil progress reviews help in making inform decisions about appropriate interventions and support for the student. Accurate tracking ensures that students receive the right support throughout their academic journey.
