School Attainment Data Analysis Programs – Overview

SIMS Assessment Manager 7

SIMs Assessment Manager 7 can be used for regular tracking of all pupils by teacher assessment, can be filtered by any pupil characteristic (e.g. SEN, FSM…), variety of reports available (based on templates produced for Primary Schools by SITSS) to enable easy tracking and monitoring of pupil progress

NB the following 3 programs are concerned with end of Key Stage data.
Only SIMS Assessment Manager 7 is concerned with on-going tracking of pupil progress through the school.

Herts Assessment Profile

The Hertfordshire Assessment Profile has 2 versions available: Primary (Foundation Stage – KS2) and Secondary (KS3-5). 

The Profiles are produced by the Education Data Collection Services Team (formerly known as PIU) at County Hall (Hertford).

RAISEonline

RAISEonline has replaced PAT and PANDA.

Fischer Family Trust

Fischer Family Trust analysis available via the website and via documents sent to schools by the Local Authority.

It is recommended that schools use the range of data tools to inform their self-evaluation and target-setting procedures.

The Herts Assessment Profile is always the first available of the above 3 analyses.

RAISEonline and FFT use slightly different methodologies in the way they calculate CVA. Therefore occasionally (though not often) schools may find significant differences between the 2 analyses. It is useful to see these tools as complementing one another, rather than being ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

Additional Assessment Data Reports

Schools will also receive the FFT report entitled 'Analyses to support Self-Evaluation', as this contains some extra detail not currently shown in FFTLive. For more information about this FFT report see the FFT pages of The Grid.
