INFORMATION
The
MIS receives secure data from the local authority, providing
a broad picture of every learner; teachers received briefings
and advice on a need-to-know basis about background issues
that can affect performance
There
is fast and reliable data interchange between the MIS, the
learning platform, the school web site and other systems
which capture, process and display data
Students'
patterns of use of school facilities are tracked via login
systems, learning platform outputs, swipe cards etc. providing
semi-automated gathering of knowledge about attendance and
participation
Registration
is part automated by the detection of wireless signals from
hand-held devices; this information is linked to truancy
and student safety systems |
ASSESSMENT
There
are systems to track the progress of pupils, predict their
future performance and provide diagnostics on how to improve
Progress
in learning is regarded as much broader than just national
curriculum levels; pupil progress is tracked across a broad
range of attrributes and capabilities
Parents
have access to a secure web page which provides a detailed
picture about their child's current performance, future
targets, diagnostics and details of how parents can support
learning
Assessment
systems are made available at times and places to suit the
learner on an assess-when-ready principle |
SYSTEMS
AND SUPPORT
Systems
and cycles for managing the data in the MIS are from time-to-time
reviewed and optimised
MIS
support staff are fully trained and proactive in making
use of the stored data to support school effectiveness;
teachers are trained in making full use of electronic data
School
data systems are supported under effecient managed service
arrangements |
FUNCTIONALITY
The MIS system meets Becta requirements for interoperability
and value for money
There are effective arrangements to make full use of ICT
to support administration and management - registers, attendance,
finance, assessment, tracking, organisation, timetabling,
and outreach
The MIS and learning platform can operate in all areas of
learning including in the premises of other learning providers
