We tend to say “CASPA’s expectations” but since these expectations are reflecting the actual progress of pupils in many hundreds of schools, we could just as easily describe this expected progress as ‘the progress that actual pupils tend to make based on recent data over the last three years’.<\/p>\n
The data set is based on a statistically significant sample data set from across a wide range of Special and Mainstream schools from most LAs in the country.\u00a0\u00a0CASPA 2016’s data set is based on results for summers 2013,\u00a02014 and 2015 and therefore uses up-to-date data.\u00a0 CASPA users can obtain more details about the data set via the menu option Help | Guidance notes | CASPA’s comparative data<\/strong>.<\/p>\nCASPA 2016 note:\u00a0 There was one change to the table as a result of the update to CASPA’s data set\u00a0based on the summer 2015 CASPA data collection.\u00a0 For KS2-KS3 in English, where the starting level is P1(ii), CASPA’s expected level moved from Upper Quartile to Median.\u00a0 In reality, this\u00a0is not a\u00a0dramatic change when you use sub-divisions as expectations previously were only just P3(i) so a very small decrease in the trend in rate of progress nudged the expected level just below the threshold. \u00a0This in fact reversed what\u00a0occurred\u00a0last year which nudged\u00a0the expected level up from P2(ii) to P3(i) so is merely a reflection of very small changes taking place on the boundary between two\u00a0levels.\u00a0 There were a number of other small differences when considering sub-divisions of levels but only this starting point moved the expected level over a whole-level boundary.<\/em><\/h5>\nTo answer the original questions above…<\/p>\n
\n- When reviewing achievement with Inspectors, the table (linked above) is set out in the same format used by Ofsted to help you illustrate how CASPA’s expected progress\u00a0compares to Progression Materials upper quartiles, or higher, for the majority of starting levels.<\/li>\n
- When target setting, you need to consider what selection you make for category of need, but we would still perhaps state the obvious;\u00a0that it requires staff with detailed knowledge of the pupils to identify what is an appropriately<\/strong> <\/em>challenging target.\u00a0 However, CASPA’s expectations will provide you with an excellent starting point to inform your decisions and, certainly if you ignore need, CASPA is most likely to be suggesting levels at, or above, Progression Materials’ upper quartile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
