A surprising number of schools do not routinely carry out in-depth question-level analysis following the KS2 tests when the data becomes available in the autumn term and make the most of the rich source of data available through ASP. Where schools use question-level data diagnostically, it can be highly revealing. 

This course will support senior leaders alongside maths and English leads to gain additional insight into pupil performance through focusing on question level analysis of the KS2 SATS. The subject-specific sessions focus on areas of common challenge, particularly for the pupils who just missed the expected standard, and suggests practical ways to adapt Year 6 curriculum planning and test preparation to improve outcomes for current Year 6 pupils. 

Leaders will be able to review and address areas of need in order to refine strategic plans and ensure that all children make good progress throughout the year in English and mathematics. 
 
Support leaders to use QLA to plan strategically for the year ahead through: 

• gaining a detailed level of understanding of performance relating to domain specific questions and areas of the curriculum, at whole class and individual level 
• refining deployment of resources, curriculum planning and staff CPD based on identified needs
• using evidence-based analysis to plan whole class, small group and individual interventions 
• refining approaches to test preparation through precise understanding of the demands of particularly challenging question types.   

Further information 

• Senior leader to attend whole day with opportunity for Mathematics leader to attend the morning session and English leader to attend the afternoon session. 
• Delegates should have access to a laptop/device to access their school’s data. 
• Delegates should have access to relevant passwords to access school data (ASP). 
• Bring copies/have access to school strategic plans including maths and English strategic plans.   

Please note only the senior leader is required to sign up on the Learning Zone.
