Tracking Progress
Measuring Success
At Lincoln Inclusive Tutoring, we believe every step forward matters.
This page explains how we set and track personalised learning targets for each student using the RARPA framework. By focusing on clear, achievable goals and regularly reviewing progress, we can celebrate successes, identify gaps, and adapt teaching to meet each learner’s needs. Here you’ll find information on how our target-focused approach helps pupils build confidence, achieve academically, and develop the skills they need for life.
What is RARPA?
RARPA is a nationally recognised process designed to measure progress in non-accredited learning. It focuses on personalised targets and continuous reflection, making it ideal for children and young people with Special Educational Needs, SEMH challenges, or those on bespoke education packages such as EOTAS.
The process allows us to record and evidence not just academic progress, but also the vital social, emotional, and life skills that underpin long-term success.
How We Deliver
Target-Focused Tuition
Each student begins with a personalised learning plan, created in collaboration with families, professionals, and the student themselves wherever possible. These plans are broken down into clear, achievable targets linked to academic learning, EHCP outcomes, and personal development goals.
During every tuition session, tutors use these targets as a focus point. Progress is recorded, strengths are noted, and any emerging gaps are identified. This ensures sessions remain structured, purposeful, and responsive to the learner’s needs.
Using an online software, we then collate this information into data tables and visual reports, giving a clear picture of:
-
Areas of steady progress
-
Gaps or barriers that need more focus
-
Emerging patterns in behaviour, engagement, or learning
-
Evidence of growth over time, both academically and personally
Why This Matters
This approach goes far beyond simply “ticking boxes.” It gives:
-
Students a sense of achievement and ownership over their learning journey.
-
Families reassurance that progress is being tracked in a meaningful and transparent way.
-
Schools and local authorities the evidence they need to see the impact of provision and plan next steps confidently.
It also allows us to adapt provision quickly, making sure that teaching and support always stay aligned to the learner’s evolving needs.
