What is CASPA?<\/h2>\n

CASPA is a simple and intuitive tool for the analysis and evaluation of attainment and progress for pupils with Special Educational Needs who are working significantly below age-related expectations.\u00a0 It supports your school’s self-evaluation and school improvement activities by providing intelligent and user-friendly interpretation of assessments and targets for individual pupils, for cohorts of pupils within your school and at whole-school level.\u00a0 CASPA makes use of existing data wherever possible, including the historic data required to track progress over time, thus ensuring you derive maximum benefit from your data for minimum administrative effort.<\/p>\n

CASPA allows the attainment and progress of your pupils to be bench-marked against the attainment and progress of other children of the same age, level of prior attainment and, optionally, categories of Special Educational Need, using comparative data based on the analysis of results submitted to us by users of CASPA.\u00a0 CASPA’s analysis and bench-marking therefore takes account of the circumstances of individual pupils, both for the review of historic progress as well as when considering targets for future progress.\u00a0 By providing a robust and reliable measure of progress and identifying potential areas of concern, CASPA allows schools to take appropriate actions to improve outcomes for pupils.<\/p>\n
