it just, by default, displays data, and analyses progress, for <em><strong>this year&#8217;s<\/strong><\/em> on-roll cohort.\u00a0 There will,\u00a0however,\u00a0be occasions where you will want to analyse progress for pupils who were on roll in a previous year and CASPA can easily enable you to, effectively, turn back the clock.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So why might you want this older data (I hear you ask)?\u00a0 There are many reasons why this is useful, and sometimes essential; here are a few to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You&#8217;re now in the autumn term and want to review whether pupils met their targets at the end of the summer term.\u00a0 This should not only be a review for pupils still on roll, but also for those who left last summer.<\/li>\n<li>Track the success of school improvement initiatives.\u00a0 CASPA&#8217;s analysis quite possibly illustrated the original issue via one of the reports and graphs.\u00a0 Re-run the report for each year in turn and witness the change from the original issue to an improved or resolved position.<\/li>\n<li>Compare progress for different on-roll cohorts.\u00a0 Has the whole school picture for achievement in, say, Reading changed over each the last three years?<\/li>\n<li>You are in the autumn term and you have realised you forgot to record results for pupils who left last year.\u00a0 You can import or manually edit data for pupils who were in CASPA in previous years, even though they are now no longer on roll.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CASPA is designed to provide you with a wide range of reports and graphs, and many\u00a0other features, to use with the pupils who are on roll in the current academic year.\u00a0 Any analysis you can do with this year&#8217;s pupils, you can do for pupils whose data was recorded in CASPA\u00a0in previous years.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So, how do you turn back the clock?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, this is something you can do as long as you had recorded data in CASPA in previous years.\u00a0 If you did, you will have the menu option enabled to select <strong>Options | Set CASPA effective year<\/strong>\u00a0which will display the selection dialog as below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caspaonline.co.uk\/downloads\/29-10-2018-14-38-52-300x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caspaonline.co.uk\/downloads\/29-10-2018-14-38-52-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/www.caspaonline.co.uk\/downloads\/29-10-2018-14-38-52.png 407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you select the dropdown, you will see a list of CASPA years for as many years as your CASPA installation has been used, possibly going back as far as CASPA 2008!\u00a0 The example installation above started life as CASPA 2018 and then updated this year.\u00a0 Select the year you are interested in to analyse attainment and progress for the pupils who were on roll in that summer term.<\/p>\n<p>CASPA clearly displays which year you have chosen for analysis;
