Further to information provided in an earlier bulletin, the Department for Education has confirmed that the new service will provide schools and other existing user groups with detailed performance analysis to support local school improvement as a replacement to RAISEonline. It is hoped that this will be ready in late April/early May. The name of the new service will be announced as soon as confirmed.
The current RAISEonline service will be available until 31 July 2017. This will allow users to familiarise themselves with the new service and provide feedback before the current one is taken offline.
During this period of dual running the DfE will continue to develop the new service and plan to release an updated version in July 2017. Also during this time feedback will be sought from the DfE through formal testing and user surveys.
Ofsted Inspectors will continue to use the data available in the existing summary report and inspection dashboard to prepare for inspections, until 2017 datasets are released in the autumn term.
