Action Plan – Data Management Plan 2014-2015
Area for Improvement: Data Analysis and the Effective Use of Data, so as to effect improvements in standards in Carrick Primary School.
Where are we now: Since 1999, we have been building up expertise in the analysis and effective use of quantitative data such as, PiE, PiM, End of Key Stage, Benchmarking, NRIT, NILA, NINA, Mental Maths, Half-Termly Tests and Class Tests. We have always tried to take account of quantitative data in relation to the other qualitative data which we have, and to use all the data as effectively as possible. Target-setting, tracking and monitoring procedures within Carrick are developing appropriately.
