Evaluating school performance
Evaluating school performance explores three questions:
- What does the data mean?
- What are the sources of data?
- How can data be used to inform school improvement?
Effective use of data on pupil performance is an essential part of the school improvement process and is one of the key levers for change. Data helps to pose and answer questions about:
- current standards;
- trends over time;
- the progress made by individuals and groups.
It provides one of the principal indicators of the outcomes of the education provided by schools, for use by a range of stakeholders. Schools effective at analysing their own data tend also to be those most effective at self-evaluation. They make good use of the data to identify strengths and potential issues, and to judge the impact of actions taken. This programme provides guidance, advice and examples to those involved in using data to evaluate and improve school performance.
