From Foundations to Fluency - Track Every Step

Teachers need a clear understanding of each child’s current learning level, the key foundations they must master before progressing, and the confidence to revisit basics to close any gaps. Fundamentals makes it as easy as possible for you to do this by identifying the key areas that need to be mastered before a child can successfully move on to the next stage in their learning.

Support Every Step Of The Way

Our user-friendly tracker supports and guides staff, providing practical information and measurable targets to better track a child’s progress. Covering handwriting, reading, spelling, oracy and number, it is tailored to nursery and primary schools.

Why Choose Fundamentals?

Strengthening Collaboration

The data for each child is tracked and monitored by schools and individual data can be shared with parents, to help them understand where their child is in their learning journey and what they can do to support them. 

An Evidence Informed Approach

Our foundational knowledge approach has resulted in a 17% increase in the number of Early Years children achieving a good level of development (GLD) over the past three years. For disadvantaged children, this is even more impactful, with a 21% increase in our Pupil Premium children achieving GLD.

Testimonials

Implementing the tracker has completely transformed how we understand teaching and learning across the school. It gives us a clear, real-time picture of where pupils are and where the priorities lie. This sharpens teachers’ focus, enabling them to plan precise, targeted activities that directly support pupils in moving forward. The clarity it provides means our whole team is aligned on what matters most, and that has had a powerful impact on both teaching quality and pupil outcomes. ~ Headteacher, Watchlytes Primary School, Hertfordshire
The tracker is a great tool. It is such an easy format to use and the info button under the individual year group targets gives clarity to what is expected to achieve the target and links to further guidance if needed. The tracker makes it easy to address gaps in children’s knowledge for groups of children as well as the whole class or individuals. This makes it easier to plan interventions to ensure all children are being targeted so they are able to make clear and focussed progress across all curriculum areas.  ~ Year 3 teacher, Eastfield Primary School, Enfield
