DAISI Education Transition Question Level Analysis

So much more than a Scaled Score

The DAISI Y7 Transition Pack, created in collaboration with teachers, ASTs and Maths Hub Leads, has been designed with Ofsted, Departmental Heads and Class Teachers in mind.

It works across three levels of your school.

Department | Classroom | Pupil

Department (Intent)

DAISI’s Transition Pack allows you to see a full overview of your school’s results allowing you to focus in as a department on specific areas for intervention.

This page from our Summary Analysis Pack shows the strengths and weaknesses for the full school cohort across all three papers in bespoke topics and how they compares with the National averages.

In this example, it shows that:

the school needs to focus on “Spelling” in GPS,
and the Mathematics department need to focus across all areas to cover the learning gaps.

This whole school approach has proved really successful in Primary Schools with many using the analysis to boost attainment the following year.

“In my role as deputy headteacher of a big school as well as assessment coordinator, there is no way I have the time or capacity to complete QLA to the level & in the detail that the DAISI team do. They save me days of work & the information this gives me allows us to develop whole school targets that we can show improve the attainment of our pupils.”
Deputy Headteacher, Seely Primary & Nursery School, Nottingham

“In regards to the QLA as we have such a large cohort – it is good to look for areas/types of questions where children have struggled and we need to focus on further in the future. The QLA for each individual child is useful when looking at specific children within groups SEN, FSM, PP looking particularly at their individual progress in each subject.”
Headteacher, Fernwood Primary School, Wollaton

Classroom Teaching (Implementation)

DAISI’s Transition Pack allows you to see a class specific view of your school’s results allowing you to focus in even more specifically on intervention.

The Topic Analysis is designed to help Teachers create their bespoke lesson plans and help to close the learning gaps right at the start of the year.

This page from our Mathematics Analysis Pack shows the strengths and weaknesses for all pupils, boys and girls, and how it compares with the Entire Year and the National averages.

In this example, it shows that:

girls did particularly well in “Ratio and proportion” and boys not so well, whilst
boys did well in the first 4 topics, with girls not doing so well.

The Question Analysis is designed to help teachers understand this data clearer. What types of question did pupils understand or need work on?

This second page is from our Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling report within the English Analysis Pack.

It shows the top 10 questions which are most above or below the National average, so you can see the types of questions that your pupils found difficult or easier than average. It compares your class results against the entire Year 7, and against National.

Individual Pupil (Impact)

DAISI’s Transition Pack allows you to see a how each individual pupil performed in National Tests. See their Strengths and Challenges in easy-to-read pupil profiles..

This is an example of our Mathematics Pupil Profile.

Of the major topics (the ones with the most marks available in the SATs, highlighted in purple), Christopher was 16% above the National average in Measurement, but below in “Number and place value” and “Ratio and proportion”.

It also shows a summary for Reading, Maths and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling.

These are delivered as part of the Class Analysis – already pre-arranged into the class groups.
