Why are teachers buying  i-nfer plan, and what benefits do they like most? 

Jo Haywood, Deputy Head teacher at Kingsley Primary School in Croydon “We wanted a tool that could help us build consistency and confidence in teacher assessment for all 500 pupils. i-nfer plan helps us in a number of areas including progress tracking and levelling throughout the school year, which should ultimately help us achieve one of our goals of better Science progression. Some specific benefits of i-nfer plan that we like and will help us are: descriptive feedback provided for teachers and children, frequent and continuous opportunity to track and measure progression and it is easily integrated into day to day work so that teaching, planning and learning can be informed."

”Trevor Bradbury, Head teacher at Brady Primary School in Rainham “Our regular data meetings with teachers had identified children who are not making progress, but not why. We wanted something to use at different times of the year to build up a picture of children’s progress, to diagnose what they need to do next and what teachers need to do to move them on. i-nfer plan will be the support tool for us, providing reliable, frequent feed into teachers’ planning and track progress over the year.”

 “I have always had a strong respect for the NFER, and I first saw i-nfer plan at the 2008 BETT exhibition. It’s a very useful tool for end of year assessment and moderation, and will really help with our AfL development in the school. i-nfer plan reporting detail and the ‘progress indicators’ are great, and the profiles are extremely useful when preparing reports for parents. A major advantage is that I can use it at home to inform my end of year reporting, I found that really useful. The children are enthusiastic and enjoy doing the challenges. Their feedback has been very positive; that the challenges get them to ‘think’ and give them the opportunity to show what they understand. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your product. It really fulfils a need and ticks many boxes for us.”
