5. • Children need to understand their learning. Profiling
will reflect this understanding and give then
ownership of, and responsibility for, their learning.
• Profiling helps children understand and capture
their strengths and achievements
• Profiling (and the profile) is owned by the learner
with support from the school (and parents).
• The skills required for profiling must be developed
and come from dialogue between the teacher and
the learner.
6. • improved confidence in pupils
• pupils getting to know themselves as learners
• breaking down barriers of subjects and
opening door to interdisciplinary practice
• real conversations about learning between
colleagues
• self and peer evaluation of learning and skills
