Bar Reports for Attainment Data

In a recent discussion with James Pembroke, he suggested various different ways to manipulate and display our junior school data in order to analyse it. One of these was to create 'Bar Reports' for each cohort as they pass through the school.
When thinking about how to do this, Excel, Numbers, G Sheets and other applications were an option, but I went with PowerPoint so that I could have more control over how the finish product looked.
In PowerPoint, I created arrays of 100 squares and then coloured these according to the percentages we'd assessed children at. A slightly time-consuming process, but well worth it and something that has shown us aspects of our assessment, attainment and progress that we had not previously seen.
The three pictures here are completely fictional and in no way represent any school, children or their data.
