Target Audience – governors from both Maintained Schools and Academies.
Primary & Secondary School data is dealt with in separate sessions.
Counting on better outcomes … for all our pupils
If governing boards are to hold their schools effectively to account for pupils’ achievement, they
need to ask meaningful questions about pupil attainment and progress data.
The aim of the session is to promote governors’ understanding and practical use of data;
however this is a course about school improvement, not statistics. The approach is a pragmatic
look at the questions raised by our schools’ main data sources, helping governors from diverse
backgrounds to understand the terminology, and to relate data to real school performance.
Delegates will consider not just overall average data for attainment and progress, but will also
examine the performance of vulnerable groups of pupils, in particular disadvantaged pupils.
To get the most out of the course, you will be asked to bring a copy of your own school’s
most recent RAISEonline summary report. Before attending the course, it would be
useful for delegates to read their school’s latest internal tracking data summary, and if
available, the Fischer Family Trust Governor Dashboard.
The tutor will discuss a range of sources of data, including the school’s own internal tracking, and will
outline recent DfE initiatives, for example assessment without levels.
