This course will cover all aspects of the FFT Aspire system from setting targets for current cohorts to analysing previous years’ performance.
Delegates will find out about setting an appropriate level of challenge and exporting targets for tracking systems, the difference between VA and CVA, using the various dashboards and understanding performance indicators, how to access contextual and prior attainment data for recently arrived pupils, and how to use filters to make like-for-like comparisons. We will also discuss presenting data for governors
