We need to select the group we are using for analysis. Click on Group.
PLEASE NOTE
If a pupil has left before the day of the teacher assessment , or a pupil has joined the school after the
day of the teacher assessment, or a combination of both, you will need to create an assessment defined
group. See the section later on in the helpsheet ‘Creating Assessment Defined Groups’ (page 7). If none
of these scenarios apply, continue working through the helpsheet (pages 3-6)
