School data are valuable. They are used by many people and organisations for a variety of different reasons. For example, school data can be used by: parents and carers to help them make important decisions with their children – appropriate and timely data can help parents, carers and children to understand what is going on in a school and, if necessary, to ask probing questions about its performance headteachers, teachers and governors to assess pupils’ progress and to inform management decisions local authorities to monitor the performance of the schools under their control, to plan for improvement and to allocate resources.
Ofsted inspectors to make a judgement about a school’s effectiveness and capacity to improve.
Undoubtedly useful, data do have their limitations.
Data do not tell us why schools are performing as they are or how they will be in the future.
What data can do is offer great opportunities for schools to explore strengths and weaknesses.
Inspectors never make a judgement based on data alone; they make judgements by applying, objectively and dispassionately, their own professional knowledge and skills, setting the data in context and alongside other sources of information available to them about a school’s effectiveness and capacity to improve.
