The Pupil Attitude to Self and School (P.A.S.S.) Rating Scale was developed over 8 years in collaboration with three U.K. universities and piloted with more than 100 schools to measure specific aspects of children's attitudes towards themselves as learners and their attitudes towards school. It was designed initially as an educational profiling tool - meaning that it allows preventative early identification of pupils and schools "at-risk". This can sometimes be in advance of attitudes translating into behavioural outcomes.
Teachers can, therefore, use P.A.S.S. to inform timely and strategic intervention to reduce the negative impact of disaffection, low self-regard and related attitudes on attainment, attendance and other key educational performance indicators.

P.A.S.S. assesses 9 core dimensions based around learner self worth, curricular and general motivation, pupil perceptions of their learning environment, task persistence and attendance attitudes.
Assessment is standardised and nationally benchmarked for students of 8 years of age and above and is fully ICT enabled. We offer both online and software solutions. The latter also includes standalone single user software for individual assessment.
Item readability is around 7 years of age. Students with lower reading ages can still access the measure with an adult helper working to our supplied administration script.

P.A.S.S. auditing is a significant thread throughout this site. See also, for example:
W3 Insights Assessment Instruments are widely used in more than 100 Local Authorities of England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales.
It is estimated that the PASS system alone has already made a difference to the lives of over 1,500,000 young people!
