Analyse and evaluate your department’s results
Your analysis will depend on the measurements you use for attainment and progress over time.
You can compare pupil attainment data year on year, and with other schools. Your analysis will also help you see where individual teachers are being most effective.
If you use teacher assessment as part of the progress measure when analysing pupil progress, triangulate this with work scrutiny and moderated work analysis, to help make sure you can be confident the analysis is correct.

It's important to communicate with pupils about their experience of your subject.
Use pupil interviews to explore their views, and find out:
- If you’re covering all aspects of the curriculum sufficiently, from your pupils' perspective
- Whether they enjoy the subject and are being challenged
