We want to develop data literate school leaders*

A data-literate leader:

• Thinks about purpose• Recognises the usefulness and limitations of data, and the

importance of other kinds of evidence• Is (sufficiently) knowledgeable about statistical concepts• Uses data to raise questions and hypotheses• Shows empathy with different audiences• Ensures access to data to others that need it and supports its

interpretation

* Based on a concept developed by Lorna Earl and Steven Katz in ‘Leading Schools in a Data-Rich World’ p18-20

How well are all your pupils achieving?

Some key questions to ask:• Which pupils and pupil groups in your school are achieving

well?• Are all pupils, including disadvantaged groups, fulfilling their

potential or should they achieve more?• Do pupils, who did well in a prior Key Stage, lose momentum

and fail to make progress?• Are the most disadvantaged pupils, or those with SEN, making

sufficiently rapid progress to catch up with their peers? • Are the most able pupils stretched and challenged

sufficiently?• Are overall results at the end of a Key Stage concealing poor

progress?
