How well does the local authority support its schools and settings to improve teaching and leadership?

The authority’s data team provides comprehensive data about pupils’ performance in external examinations, including how they have performed when answering individual questions. This item-level data is used to inform analytical discussions in post-14 subject network meetings. This enables subject leaders to identify strengths and areas for development in pupils’ performance and, by doing so, identify where there is strong practice and aspects of teaching that needs to improve. As a result, the sharing of effective practices and beneficial school-toschool work is facilitated.
