Databusting Devon

A practical one-day workshop helping primary senior leaders cut through the noise around data and assessment.

A practical one-day workshop for primary senior leaders focused on assessment and data in schools.

This day will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters: systems that support teachers, strengthen provision, and improve outcomes, without generating workload for little gain.

The day will help you to:

• Review and refine your approach to assessment and data.
• Understand what data matters, what doesn't, and what's statutory.
• Use data effectively to support all pupils, including those with SEND.
• Develop or sharpen an assessment policy and data strategy that works in practice.

If you are looking to bring greater clarity to assessment and data in your primary school or trust, this day will provide the practical guidance you need.

What to expect:

The morning focuses on external data and accountability. After lunch, the focus shifts to internal assessment and tracking pupil progress.

• Session 1: The state of the nation - The new Ofsted toolkit and DfE performance measures.
• Session 2: Navigating the new IDSR - Understanding all the latest changes to this important document.
• Session 3: Effective use of school assessment data - Practical approaches to recording and analysing teacher assessment, test scores, progress measures, and monitoring outcomes for pupils with SEND.
• Session 4: Developing an assessment policy and data strategy - How to ‘dataproof’ your school.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
