Twelve ways in which the Primary Progress Toolkit can support school management
1. Analyse pupils’ results using contextual value added
This worksheet gives you all the key information to help you to analyse pupils’ Contextual Value Added (CVA):
|
The ‘Contextual
Value Added’ graph plots the actual
KS2 points score (vertical axis) of pupils against the expected score
(horizontal axis) using the overall 
Pupils
who appear above the diagonal orange line (the zero CVA line)
have achieved a KS2 score above that expected, after considering
the contextual factors. These pupils have positive CVA scores. Pupils
who lie below this line have achieved a KS2 score less than expected
and have a negative CVA score.
You can plot results for all pupils, or just boys or girls. You
can also label the data points with the pupils’ names and compare
the pupils against national results by displaying lines for the national
percentile lines (10th, 25th, 75th and 90th) and KS2 levels.
Pupil data
Clicking on the ‘Pupils & Points’ button displays a list
of the expected and actual KS2 points scores and the difference between
them (= Pupil CVA) for the pupils plotted on the graph.
Groups
Clicking on the ‘Groups’ button in the left-hand panel will
highlight a particular group of pupils on the graph, for example those
pupils receiving Free School Meals (FSM), and recalculate the overall CVA
for this group.
CVA details
Clicking the ‘CVA details’ button, in the blue panel at the
left-hand side, provides additional detail of the factors in the CVA model
and how the individual pupil scores are calculated.
