When using reports such as the ‘Key Stage transitions using Progression Materials’ or the ‘Comparison of progress vs expectation’ (the Traffic Light graph), you may find that some pupils are missing from the report. A likely reason is that they do not have results in the start year you selected.
So you have set targets and recorded them in CASPA. But how have you satisfied yourself that the targets are going to be appropriate for the pupil; challenging and realistic, and that for the whole school, they are going to reflect ambition.
You can use CASPA to help you gain confidence in your targets as soon as they are recorded…
In general terms, ‘out of range’ refers to results for which a statistically meaningful comparison cannot be made. It is all about CASPA taking its responsibilities about comparisons seriously; you will not find CASPA comparing your pupils against a data sample of just one, or even a few dozen pupils!
