Schools are teeming with data. Too often though, the information collected is used solely for annual reports when it should be the basis of day-to-day activity, referred to by heads and teachers, and made central to raising standards.
Data should be “live” – allowing not just changes in progress and attainment but also the impact of behaviour for learning strategies across a school, all helping to ensure the pupils are at the centre of everything we do and our work is bespoke and focused.
One of the first steps in improving standards in a school is to get a grip on the data, to have a clear view of the current position, and not just in broad terms – which never gives a real picture – but broken down by individual pupil, allowing for personalised teaching and learning.
