The beginning of many school years often starts with an analysis of the previous year’s results.  This can be a complex and time-consuming business which can send a number of more “statistically challenged” teachers heading for a darkened room to lie down in.  There is a balance to strike between having enough data to analyse in-depth without “analysis for analysis” sake and the potential to miss the main learning points.

    Looks like it could be useful, especially for those who prefer a visual approach to numbers in a spreadsheet. At secondary, though, teachers also need to look at those who have made 4 or more levels of progress – to be good or outstanding you have to match or exceed the national percentages in your subject on this measure too.

      Thanks for the comments Heather and useful tip.

    This looks really interesting. We get subject leaders to do this kind of analysis and I’ll definitely show them this.
    Increasingly schools push the kind of summary data in the top part of your sheet to departments. As you say, it’s the ‘Big Picture’ bit that’s important – the action that follows the number crunching – so more space for this?

    What are : U RI G and O on the lesson observations?

      U = stands for Unsatisfactory or Inadequate is sometimes used:
      RI = Requires Improvement
      Good = Good
      O = Outstanding

    I think this is an excellent visual overview of the kind of information subject leaders should have at their finger tips regarding end of key stage assessment. Thank you.
