Context for Reports

• Snapshots in time
• Figures are dynamic
• Data prompts questions rather than gives answers
  (not definitive)
• Some questions raised may demand different
  approach / methodology
• Uses strategically to inform at macro and micro
  levels
• LA / District / Neighbourhood / School
• Link with other data attainment /
  progression / value added
• NEET segmentation etc.
• NCCIS publish nationally a report on what the
  figures suggest to an agreed methodology

Data Presentation

• Data collated is-
• Quantative rather than qualitative - points /
  suggests where to look?
• Comparative attempts to compare like with like
  where possible
• Presents an Average to make sense of figures
  rather than provide a number
• Data is looked at independently
• Stoke on Trent / Staffordshire / Stafford LAD /
  School
• Data is looked at collectively with a view to
  identifying themes / messages,
• establishing potential trends OR as a means of
  determining the need for further research
• Baseline is set as 2005
• (Data is based on location of the provider rather
  than residency).
