What is the process for updating curriculum content within the platform?

Here’s the process for updating curriculum content within POGO Progress’s “Curriculum Performance” module along with some recommended best-practice steps you should follow to ensure everything works smoothly in your school.

The core steps in POGO Progress

1. Use the Curriculum Progress icon (graduation cap) to upload your curriculum (either national or bespoke) and customise achievement levels/grading.
2. Track attainment of pupils against curriculum outcomes and monitor coverage (which objectives have been taught).
3. Identify gaps in either coverage or attainment — the system offers “real-time insights” to show where things are missing or under-achieved.
4. Use the data to plan and adjust teaching: you can feed those insights into lesson planning, target setting and review of the curriculum map.

From this we infer the update process would typically involve editing or re-uploading curriculum objectives/outcomes and then relinking them to assessments/teaching coverage.

Recommended workflow for your school

To ensure the update process runs well and stays up to date, you might follow this workflow:

1. Review your existing curriculum map – check which objectives/outcomes are still relevant, which need updating, removal or sequencing changes.

   Decide on changes – identify new objectives to add, existing ones to edit (for example refining wording or adding achievement levels), and old ones to retire.

   Update in POGO Progress – open the Curriculum Builder in POGO, then:

   • Upload the revised curriculum file or edit outcomes directly (depending on the tool-capabilities)
   • Update any achievement/grading levels as required
   • Ensure each objective is tagged with the correct subject, year-group, strand etc
2. Communicate changes to staff – make sure teaching staff are aware of which objectives have changed, and how to link assessments/teaching modules to the updated map.
3. Relink assessments/teaching – make sure that new or edited objectives are aligned with your assessment schedule and teaching units, and update any coverage tracking.
4. Monitor coverage & attainment – use POGO’s dashboards to see whether teaching against the new objectives is happening and how pupils are doing. Address any emerging gaps.
5. Scheduled review – set regular review points (e.g., termly or annually) to revisit the curriculum map and update as needed, based on data and teacher feedback.
