Using School performance Data No single source of data or analysis can provide a comprehensive overview of school performance It’s not the source that matters (as long as it’s accurate), it’s the question you ask of the data When several sources say the same thing, it’s a basis for action When several sources give conflicting messages, it’s a cause for investigation Diocese of Shrewsbury Department of Education

Health Warnings Size of cohort and impact on comparison/statistical significance Ensure you know what is being analysed and if comparisons are being made between subjects/schools they are using the same data set Be aware of national changes to entry policies - linear Is there ‘ like for like’ between awarding bodies? Are the results given based on best or first? Are measures of progress made only taking account of results where a student’s previous scores are known or the whole cohort. Looking for trends over time is very important – but becoming more difficult in terms of results due to national changes in entry policy – it is difficult to asses like for like.
