The School Data Conference 2017 offers policy-briefings, in-depth case studies, workshops and interactive discussions, giving school leaders the opportunity to explore how to successfully interpret national performance table data, as well as learn from best practice in measuring and analysing data to drive school improvement.

Delegates will have opportunity to analyse the government’s policy decisions behind the drive for increased data use in education along with its future priorities; discuss how to better interpret the data presented in RAISEonline, the School Data Dashboard and performance league tables; and explore how to effectively analyse data to identify schools’ strengths and weaknesses, promote better learning and teaching, and undertake relevant and impactful interventions in schools.

Speakers include Becky Allen, CEO of Education Datalab; Ben Fuller, President of the Association for Achievement and Improvement through Assessment; and Jon Andrews, Director of Education Data and Statistics, at the Education Policy Institute.
