Question-level analysis (QLA) national comparison data and 2009
templates are now available
Purpose: For
information
Audience: Primary Headteachers, SLT and Strategy Managers
The QA on the report suite
is now complete and reports are available for 2009 interim tests.
Question-level national comparison data is loaded for
the following:
• 2008 end of
Key Stage 2 tests in English, maths and
science.
• 2007 and
2008 optional tests for National Curriculum Year 2 in reading, writing and
maths.
• 2007 and
2008 optional tests for National Curriculum Years 3, 4 and 5 in English and
maths.
Note that the 2008 averages for National Curriculum
years 2 to 5 are a direct copy of those for 2007, as the same papers were
used.
QLA reports based on these tests will now display these
national comparisons for each item in a chart or table. The national data can be
filtered or grouped by gender, but no other breakdowns are
available.
Please note that it is now
possible to download interim test templates for 2009. These are obtained in the
usual way by the school administrator using data management, or can be
downloaded unpopulated from the template download area linked from the login
page.
