Why is this important?

The ISDR is one of a number of national data sets, and analysing information well, including generating questions can help school leaders to understand the context in which they work and identify priorities for school improvement.

Crucially, this data analysis will allow you to:

• Benchmark and highlight significant differences between your school and others across subjects
• Provide genuine strategies for improvement based on fact to school stakeholders and Ofsted to show forward-thinking and productivity
• Give a truer indication of areas that may require further investigation (strengths and weaknesses) to feed into school improvement
