Correspondence 31 August 2017: schools

Key stage 2

Action: check your school’s data by 15 September

The performance tables data checking exercise is open from today until 5pm on Friday 15 September. Schools are asked to check their pupil level data and, if necessary, submit requests to amend the data on which their performance measures are calculated. You must submit a confirmation of data even if you have no amendments to make. Any changes to data made after 4 July, such as following a marking review or late submission of teacher assessment, have not yet been included. Guidance on how to use the checking website is available in the documents section, once you have logged in.

The tables contain provisional calculations of school level performance measures including progress scores. We’ve published updated technical guidance on primary accountability, which will help schools to understand how their provisional results for 2017 were calculated. A summary and video is also available. The primary performance tables will be published in December.

All schools should have received user names and passwords to access the secure website. If you have any problems accessing the website please contact the DfE helpline at examshelp@rm.com, or telephone 08453 077867.

Publication: KS2 Provisional Statistics

Information: access data via the updated ‘Analyse school performance’ system

DfE launched an updated and improved version of Analyse school performance (ASP) in July, which has replaced RAISEonline. The service now includes 2017 question level analysis (QLA) data.
