As tweeted yesterday, the whole EY-KS1 attainment table thing in RAISE/dashboard really bothers me. I intend to write a blog or TES article about the issue this week but in the meantime, I wanted to share this tool.
Many schools have many ‘weaknesses’ stated on p1 of their dashboards, which arise from these tables. These relate to negative gaps from national average that equate to 2 or more pupils. In such cases, I’ve recommended schools produce case studies on pupils that didn’t achieve the expected standard or greater depth at KS1 from their emerging, expected, or exceeding start point (in the specific early learning goal!) at EYFS.
Someone pointed out that there may not be time during an inspection to go through these studies (I hope that’s not the case and that the inspector will make time) but I thought it would be worth summarising the written case studies in a table, which is what I’ve attempted to produce here.
Have a look and let me know what you think.
And feel free to adapt it. Just download it first and leave the online version as it is.
Thanks
