To give a judgement, navigate to the Balance homepage and click Professional Judgements.
Apply any relevant filters, including subject, year and depth of learning for ARE, and your pupil list will update accordingly. Use the Viewing drop-down or the filters to help analyse key groups or contextual information against your professional judgement statements.
You may notice that the ARE columns are displayed when selecting core subjects. These are pulled from the Balance matrices for each pupil in your account. For foundation subjects, the ARE columns are hidden, and you are shown the depth of learning, which is taken from the top layer of the class analysis area of Balance.
Please note that columns are here to guide you; the judgement is still your opinion and doesn't have to be dictated by the data in these columns. You can hide the Depth of Learning and ARE columns by clicking the relevant toggle on this page.

Alongside each pupil's name is a green Note icon, click this, and a panel will appear, allowing you to add a specific note against that pupil's record. These notes can be used for any internal comments you need to make. Only staff members in your account that have access to the page you make the note on can see these.
