Summative Data Assessment Analysis Cribsheet (Primary)

This crib sheet is designed to support teachers, subject leaders, and school leaders in efficiently inputting, analysing, and interpreting pupil achievement data. It provides clear guidance on how to assess pupils at each attainment level (Working Towards, Expected, Greater Depth) and ensures consistency across the school when recording end-of-term or summative data.

With step-by-step instructions, the crib sheet helps users:

Track pupil progress: Identify knowledge gaps and monitor whether pupils are meeting age-related expectations.

Analyse trends and gaps: Quickly highlight patterns by cohort, gender, SEND, disadvantaged pupils, and higher attainers, comparing progress over time and against benchmarks.

Inform teaching and interventions: Use data to make evidence-based adjustments to curriculum planning, teaching approaches, and targeted interventions.

Support reporting and communication: Provide clear, structured data for parents’ evenings, end-of-year reports, and leadership meetings.

By making data analysis straightforward and actionable, this resource saves time, ensures consistency, and empowers educators to make informed decisions that directly impact pupil outcomes.
