In this webinar, Becky St John, Independent Assessment and Data Consultant and Trainer, discusses the challenges in pulling together and analysing data from many and diverse schools, such as the tension between autonomy and alignment, and between teacher assessment and test results. She examines how standardised assessment can contribute to a robust and meaningful assessment policy, and introduces reports to help MAT leaders manage assessment data effectively while keeping workload at both school and MAT level to a minimum.
In the second part of the webinar, Vicky Merrick, Data Development Lead at Archway Learning Trust, talks about her central assessment framework, what it measures, how GL Assessment data has been used in triangulation with other data, and how it has helped the trust. She also discusses considerations for assessing in the new academic year, given the lack of national data.
