Summary

Summary

FFT aspire and self evaluation Key benefits Aspire contains data on actual attainment, value added and contextual value added so provides a much broader overview of attainment and progress Ease of navigation and interpretation - an overview of school performance can be quickly painted Wide range of indicators, consistently calculated for a number of years. Also includes developmental indicators (e.g. Attainment 8) Compare any group of pupils at your school to the national average for that group Ofsted… ‘Inspectors should use a range of data to judge a school’s performance…’ ‘No single measure or indicator determines judgements, particularly since much of the data may be historical and relate to pupils that have left the school.’ Data is used to ‘Check the robustness and accuracy of the school’s self-evaluation…’ ‘Where numbers of pupils are small and achievement fluctuates…..consider any available data of aggregated performance for consecutive cohorts’. ‘Schools may present a brief written summary of their self-evaluation to inspectors.’

Significance (incl some changes in approach) ‘Variation’ not by chance  National average The result is a significant rise from last year. Significantly below Significantly above Results are significantly below the national average Results are significantly above the national average Results are in line with the national average / group size too small to make judgment  The result is a significant fall from last year.

Value added Attainment Time Above FFT benchmark Actual attainment KS2 subject levels Attainment Actual attainment above average of pupils with similar prior attainment Attainment based on typical national progress with similar prior attainment KS1 scores Actual attainment below average of pupils with similar prior attainment Time Below FFT benchmark

Value added Value added results Achievement Actual attainment above FFT benchmark estimate (above average progress) Actual attainment below FFT benchmark estimate (below average progress)

Value added Value added results Actual attainment of these pupils above FFT benchmark estimate (above average progress) Actual Subject dashboard extract Achievement Value added results Actual attainment of these pupils Actual attainment below FFT benchmark estimate (below average progress)

We’re working on it but awaiting DfE confirmation of the methodologies going forward Underpinning system with FFT research (signposting them to Dave T’s blog) & suggest they use the percentiles if they definitely do not want to talk levels – this is the closest approach to the new scaled scores Once the relevant DfE announcements are made rest assured our research and data teams will be finalising approaches for release into aspire You will be able to switch between points/scores/something else and levels (like VA and CVA) Doing anything else at this point will not be robust and could be misleading (likewise using meeting / exceeding will be too simplistic for target setting purposes) See also the FFT Education blog

Options for pre-population found in the FFT administration site FFT default Ideal if you require performance above 5% nationally Other options requested – think carefully about the impact these will make – use with caution The next portion of the screen allows the school FFT Aspire administrator to choose: which data to prepopulate targets with. whether targets can be fixed or edited. The ‘Defaults’ link will revert all of the options on this screen back to the FFT Aspire default options. Select ‘Save’ to preserve your options. Option if more control required FFT default
