The Data Team are pleased to announce that the new Key Stage 5 Attainment datasets for the exam year of 2023 are now available for download from File Store.
As with the Key Stage 4 Attainment Track releases, you can download your organisation’s KS5 Attainment Track dataset from the File Store, and a brand-new Power BI dashboard has also been released to visualise your dataset. Additionally, a new comprehensive KS5 Attainment Track User Guide has been made available to support with your use of the dataset and dashboard.
We are pleased to announce that three new resources, including a comprehensive User Guide are available:
Your dataset can be found in File Store using the provided combined search filter weblink (members only). Please download the latest file. Datasets can be accessed by the following roles: Lead, Lead Lite, Coordinator, Coordinator Lite and Users with All Reports.
Please Note: We have created datasets for 109 members this year. Due to the aggregated nature of the data (Activity Type-level, Programme Title-level and Descriptor-level) some datasets may suffer from suppressions. To comply with the requirements of the Department for Education (DfE), we must suppress counts below 10 and then perform all calculations on suppressed and rounded figures. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) and DfE have agreed that all counts of 10 or above can be rounded to the nearest 5 (rather than 10) which helps to provide more accurate results for those with smaller cohorts.
The Key Stage 5 Attainment Track Power BI Dashboard is available to download from the File Store (members only).
To use the dashboard, you must first connect it to your organisation’s dataset. For set-up instructions please see the Key Stage 5 Attainment Track User Guide which is available to download from the File Store (members only). The User Guide provides detailed information about the tracked cohort and comparator options, contains guidance on setting up and using the dashboard, and offers suggestions on how this data may support the evaluation of your outreach activities.
Please Note: It is important to read the User Guide that has been produced for this Track data release, as this resource explains how the data has been aggregated to outreach Activity-level (Activity Type-level, Programme Title-level and Descriptor-level) in order to comply with data sharing rules and guidance put in place by the Department for Education, as well as other essential information on how the dashboard should be used.
