ASSET for Secondary Schools

Advanced Statistical Software Estimator Tool for Calculating and Tracking Value Added in-house

Do you want to ensure that the targets you set for your students are high enough to achieve 1000 or significantly above the National Average for your school?

If you set your targets based on Fischer Family Trust type D, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your value added will be significantly above the national average.

The ASSET for Schools can calculate value added scores for:

• Each pupil
• Each EBacc subject
• Best 8 Including English and Maths
• Progress 8 / Attainment 8 (will be available in a month)

Value added calculations are based on Key Stage 2 Marks (out of 100) not levels.

You should set your pupil target’s based on their Key Stage 2 Marks not Levels.

Ofsted are interested in what the school has done for pupils over time (Value Added) and what is being done to address any identified issues.

The Advanced Statistical Software Estimator Tool is closely linked to RAISEonline and Fischer Family Trust and will enable you to demonstrate to Ofsted how well you are helping your pupils make progress and fulfil their potential, especially those who require additional support, challenge and intervention.

The ASSET for Schools can serve as an excellent resource to show how much progress pupils have made in comparison to their starting points and help you evaluate individual pupils benefit from their school.

The ASSET for Schools will also enable you to evaluate the achievement of pupils against RAISEonline. You can demonstrate to OFSTED you are using ASSET to improve your progress across subjects. The evaluation schedule for the inspection of maintained schools and academies, The ASSET for Schools will also support you in providing the following crucial evidence to Ofsted:

• An analysis of progress of pupils for the past three years, broken down by grouping
• An analysis of VA progress at the end of Key Stages relating to SAT’s and Teacher Assessment data
• Records of progress against the key issues identified at the previous inspection
• Reviews of progress across subjects or departments
• Current levels of achievement and predictions for the end of the academic year

The ASSET for Schools will also enable you to evaluate evidence of VA progress in recent years and the progress and attainment of pupils currently in your school.

• Evaluate pupils’ learning and progress relative to their starting points at particular ages and combine to any assessment measures held in the school
• Evaluate the progress of pupils who have received intervention and/or additional support

• Measure levels of progress against national thresholds
