Performance Indicators in Primary Schools

You can find out details about PIPS, such as suitability (year group to assess), through sample questions and feedback on this site.

There are also procedures and guides on how to register for the PIPS assessment.

PIPS was developed by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) at the University of Durham in England and is run in Australia by PIPS Australia at UWA.

The PIPS On-Entry Baseline Assessment is a CD-ROM based program designed to assess students entering primary school and can assist with:

• assessing the progress of students in literacy, numeracy and phonological awareness
• diagnosing individual student work and providing data to indicate areas where students are achieving or underachieving
• predicting future performance for identifying individuals who might benefit from early intervention
