How well is my school doing?
In order to help target your resources the first place many schools start is identifying which groups of pupils are most at risk of underachievement.
Before trying to identify the significance of gender issues within an individual school or LA, it may be helpful to first look at the national picture. What are the national trends for boys' and girls' achievements at each key stage?
You can then use the national pupil performance information in RAISEonline (link opens in new window) (Reporting and Analysis for Improvement through School Self-Evaluation). RAISEonline provides interactive analysis of school and pupil performance data. It replaces the Ofsted Performance and Assessment (PANDA) reports and DCSF's Pupil Achievement Tracker (PAT). This information will help you answer the questions 'how well are we doing?', 'how do we compare to similar schools?' and 'what more should we aim to achieve?'
RAISEonline aims to:
- Enable schools to analyse performance data in greater depth as part of the self-evaluation process,
- Provide a common set of analyses for schools, Local authorities, inspectors and School Improvement Partners,
- Better support teaching and learning.
Features include:
- Reports and analysis covering the attainment and progress of pupils in Key Stage 1, 2, 3 & 4, with interactive features allowing exploration of hypotheses about pupil performance.
- Contextual information about the school including comparisons to schools nationally,
- Question level analysis, allowing schools to investigate the performance of pupils in specific curriculum areas,
- Target Setting, supporting schools in the process of monitoring, challenging and supporting pupil performance,
Data management facility providing the ability to import and edit pupil level data and create school-defined fields and teaching groups.
