Monitoring progress without predicting progress 8

- Analysing KS5 data
- Analysing your exclusions and behaviour data
- Benchmarking performance data in special schools
- Closing the gap: identifying groups to track
- KS2 to KS4: are there suggested flight paths?
- Pupil premium: accessing the list of eligible pupils
- Reporting achievement of disadvantaged pupils to governors
- Setting whole-school targets for attainment and progress
- Tracking progress: collecting and analysing data
- Using data to support school improvement
