Data use in special schools/PRUs – defining what we do well and using it to improve
Woodfield Hub Meeting
15 May 2014
Penny Barratt and Andre Bailey 1
Data in special schools and PRUs: the ongoing issue
A standardised approach is needed
for schools to use data to inform and
improve their practice and deliver better outcomes for
pupils.
Special schools/PRUs are not using data to its full potential
in terms of improving and
informing practice
No national guidelines and
no standardised approach – all
special schools/PRUs have different
ways of managing the data
Data management
systems used in mainstream
schools are not relevant for
schools/PRUs

• A report which recognises and recommends best practice to define: what data should be collected and why how data should be recorded, presented and analysed (including triangulation
techniques) how should data ultimately be used in order to inform teacher practice.
• By doing this, we hope to: learn from each other increase your knowledge and give you the confidence to use data effectively enable you to inform and improve data management and practice in the classroom

• How will we manage your data?– Data security is very important– No named school data in the actual
report; only best practice and case studies
– Any data which is shown will be anonymised
• What happens to the report?– It will be distributed to CP schools
for you to use as you wish– It will be put on the CP website– Shared with the DfE
Any questions?
• What kind of data sample should be provided?
– Information on the data that you collect
– Data sets that are used internally to inform practice
– Data that is presented to governors– Data that would be presented for a
CP review or OFSTED
