How We Measure Progress
Progress at Fresh Pathways is measured holistically and individually, recognising that engagement, regulation and readiness to learn must come before academic success.
Each young person has a clear baseline and personalised outcomes, reviewed regularly in collaboration with schools, families and professionals. Progress is evidenced through attendance and engagement, emotional regulation, behaviour and relationships, learning engagement, and readiness for transition.
This approach ensures progress is meaningful, sustainable and appropriate to each young person’s starting point.
