NATIONAL REGISTER

• Purposes
• Improve identification processes over time and
  improve rates of identification
• Provide mechanism for schools and LAs to monitor
  provision available for identified pupils and
  shape towards needs (including use of new
  resources provided as part of personalisation)
• Enable schools to compare progress and
  performance of GT pupils compared to similar
  schools and identify areas for further
  investigation
• Provide dynamic data to inform schools own GT
  analysis through comparisons with others
• Data available to SIPs and Headteachers (and
  Governors) for their strategic planning
  discussions

• Register includes all pupils identified as GT
  within the school and within NAGTY

NATIONAL REGISTER

• What Outputs Can/Will Register Produce?
• Analysis of school data sets compared to schools
  in similar circumstances (as per Fischer Family
  Trust schools/LAs data)
• Analysis of identification outputs within and
  across different categories (ethnicity,
  socio-economic, FSM, disability, attainment) by
  school, by school type, by LA
• Enable identification of pupils with similar
  attainment characteristics who are not identified
  in some schools but are in others (through
  comparison with National Pupil Database)
• Over time it will be possible to analyse relative
  rates of progress for pupil groups

• Immediate Next Steps
• Feedback from LAs group will be fed back to
  project team
• Planning for and implementation of Schools User
  Group (based on LAs suggestions)
• First data analysis from Secondary Census 2006
  (and NAGTY equivalent) to be made available
• Analysis of Primary Census data to be undertaken
  and made available
• Discussions with other data producers to begin
• Detailed project specification for 2007/08 to be
  completed and disseminated by end of March 2007
