Have you ever wondered where your CASPA data for last year’s leavers can be found? CASPA doesn’t delete older data; it just, by default, displays data, and analyses progress, for this year’s on-roll cohort.

Schools also want to compare progress against a range of expectations if possible, including CASPA’s benchmarking, levels, quartiles and compare actual progress and target progress against these benchmarks.
