Getting the Right Data to make an Impact

Paula Brenchley – Executive Vice Principal

This much I know…

• It’s an SLT priority not an administration job

• Don’t rely on one person

• A clear strategic plan of data is essential –what do you hope to achieve?

• Empower the middle leadership

• Think about the assessment not the data

• Prioritise workload

Curriculum ModelYears 7 and 8 – Life After Levels based on 9-1

Years 9 – 11 three Year KS4

Classroom strategies involve:

• Reverse Engineering from new specifications for a 7-11 all through curriculum

• Mastery Tests – designed to help students learn the key facts and skills at home

• Assessments – termly assessments to check knowledge and progress

• Re-teach and Re-test - designed to address gaps and misconceptions before moving on.

Strategic Aims

• Flight Path of Progress – how to show progress?

• Quality Assessments not Quantity

• Known quantities – full papers at KS4, partial papers, cumulative not topic tests

• Tolerances and Moderation – quality assurance

• Learning - targeted revisiting and retesting

• MLs able to review progress over time – data tracking

• Raising Attainment – make an impact

• Consistency and reliability of data

• Workload – work smart
