Primary Data for School Improvement – Autumn 2026

Overview of Learning

In this session we will look at ways in which primary governors can use a range of data to understand the school context and the achievement outcomes. This will then support the board’s ability to provide effective school improvement challenge to senior leaders.

By the end of this session, you will be aware of:

  • The information is available to governors and who is responsible for providing this.
  • The questions governors should be asking.
  • The need to have regular sight of key data – interpretation and implications.
  • What Ofsted will be looking at when judging pupil achievement.

Audience:

All governors, trustees, local governors and members of schools and academies, particularly those new to the role.

Presenters:

Deb Butler and Catriona Fletcher, Strategic Primary School Improvement

Format:

This course will be held in person at the Inclusive Education Learning Centre@Smithills.
