Update from The Schools Pre-Inspection Data and Insight Team

For secondary and all-through schools in Haringey:

We are pleased to announce that the 2019 secondary inspection data summary reports (IDSR) have been updated with revised key stage 4 data, destinations and data for disadvantaged pupils. The IDSR service is linked to through DfE’s Analyse School Performance (ASP) https://www.analyse-school-performance.service.gov.uk. When logged into ASP, click on ‘All reports’ and then ‘Ofsted inspection data summary reports’.

If you have access to more than one school, you can also access the IDSRs through our Ofsted IDSR service https://idsr.gcs501.gcfb.co.uk.

Please ensure you download the latest version dated 25 February 2020.

Where applicable, the IDSRs hold:

  • final 2019 EYFS and context data
  • revised 2019 KS4 and KS2
  • data for disadvantaged pupils
  • two term absence
  • revised destinations
  • provisional 2019 KS5, KS1 and phonics data.

(The revised primary IDSR was released and dated 27 January 2020. A full refresh of all IDSRs with full year absence data is scheduled late April 2020.)

We have published a new and improved HTML guidance document for the IDSR. This includes example reports and supporting data tables used for the 2019 IDSR which show national figures and quintile boundaries used to determine whether areas of interest sentences are triggered. Newly added links are now located throughout the IDSR, which take you directly to the relevant section of the full guidance which is located here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-inspection-data-summary-report-idsr-guide

Go Ape – Adventure Stories Competition 2020

Go Ape has launched its 2020 Adventure Stories Competition, to encourage young children to get creative and explore adventure both in and out of the classroom. Go Ape is inviting children aged 4 to 12 to submit a short story (100-500 words) or A4 drawing about an amazing adventure they have been on or imagined.Entrants are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild and adventures in previous years included a trip to an alien-infested planet, getting lost in a faraway forest and uncovering treasure and dinosaur bones on a beautiful beach.

Georgina Cox, corporate and school marketing executive at Go Ape, says:

“Our Adventure Stories competition is designed to encourage young school children to explore adventure in a creative and educational way.”

With a closing date of Thursday 2 April, the competition is split into two age categories (4-7 and 8-12), with a winner from each. The two lucky winners will each win prizes including a fun-filled class trip to Go Ape (including the cost of a coach), a collection of books worth £150 from Scholastic Book Fairs and a Micro Scooter from Micro-Scooters UK.

Georgina adds:

“Every year we are blown away by the amazing standard of entries we receive, which all brilliantly convey the children’s real and imagined adventures. We can’t wait to see this year’s entries and we’d like to urge teachers and parents to encourage their pupils or children to enter the competition to be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes for them and their class.”
