Student Self Assessment
What is it about?
All schools have a duty of care for the mental and physical wellbeing of students. Each student's performance reflects their state of mind, in regard to issues relating to their studies and their wider social life. The SWSA, as it is commonly referred to, enables students to chart their own feelings of 'wellbeing' on a range of curriculum subjects, and also selected psychological factors.

All schools have a duty of care for the mental and physical wellbeing of students. Each student's performance reflects their state of mind, in regard to issues relating to their studies and their wider social life. The SWSA, as it is commonly referred to, enables students to chart their own feelings of 'wellbeing' on a range of curriculum subjects, and also selected psychological factors.
The SWSA enables students to score:
A. Their confidence levels on the curriculum topics they study.
B. Key issues in their life, such as the extent to which they feel they are 'Optimistic'
and the extent to which they are 'Achieving'.
When a student indicates their score out of a possible 10 marks on each item, they receive an indication of their moving average compared to their daily score. By pressing on those figures in the App, they can see the trend line. This indicates if their scores are going up, down, or remaining the same. They can also see which scores are at the high end, compared to those who score at the low end on the factors.
The scores provide students with an indication of their self-assessed 'Wellbeing' over time on both academic and personal issues. First of all, the feedback provides a student with information for personal reflection and consideration. The feedback can provide the student with information to discuss ways to improve their scores with a teacher, and/or parent. Secondly, the data can be used by a student to share and compare their assessments with other students. This is valuable as a way of fostering mutual learning, help and support. Thirdly, students may wish to use the data to approach a counselor, if they have concerns about the trend of their scores.
