Strategic use of the
new KS2 and KS4 measures
Course aim and content:
The aim of this workshop is to look at the new performance measures at KS4 and KS2 and their
use as strategic tools at whole school, subject and pupil level. The session will focus on:
● Use of the KS4 performance measures in school self-evaluation and curriculum review and
development
● Use of the new KS2 Scaled Scores to build a picture of the relative strength of the cohort
● Use of the KS2 data to inform target setting (including looking at different models of target
setting)
● Approaches to tracking student progress through KS3 and KS4 to support the identification
of potential underachievement and early intervention with individuals
As part of the workshop schools will be given the opportunity to reflect of their own use of data
and identify areas that may wish to explore further with support.
