Dear Colleague,

 

Collection of Assessment Data Summer Term 2003

 

We are writing to confirm the arrangements for the end of year assessment data collection.

QCA Optional Tests: Years 7 and 8

 

As you know, the LEA offered to pay for the QCA Optional Tests for 2002-3 financial year.  We are now asking you to send in your test results for aggregation and analysis.  For us to be able to do this, you will need to enter the test data into your Phoenix (or other manage-ment information system). Guidance notes (for Phoenix) will be available on the ICT Solutions website. Once the data is entered, it should be returned to the Management Information Centre by AVCO (secure data transfer) in the same way that your PLASC data was sent. If you are not using Phoenix, please contact Chris Jackson (tel. 01603 224223) to discuss the required file format for the data. Please would you submit the data by Thursday 3rd July. As soon as we have received the data to produce some aggregated Norfolk figures, we will make the figures available to you.

 

Please note we are NOT asking schools for data from the Year 7 Progress Tests.

 

 

Key Stage 3

 

As last year, we will be asking you to provide a summary of your provisional Key Stage 3 results as early as possible.  Results are due into schools from the marking agencies by

Tuesday 8th July and we are asking you to let us have the information by Friday 11th July. A form will be sent to you early in July for returning by fax.  Providing we receive all schools’ provisional figures by the required deadline, we will be able to let you have provisional LEA figures before the end of term.

 

Should you wish to make contact with us about the above arrangements, please feel free to email either Terry Cook at terry.cook.edu@norfolk.gov.uk , or Chris Jackson at chris.jackson.edu@norfolk.gov.uk .

 

 

Yours sincerely
