Understanding your IDSR – Primary

Course Purpose This course equips primary school leaders with the knowledge and confidence to interpret the Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR) accurately. Participants will explore how the latest statistical methods, including revised confidence intervals and multi-year averages, influence how attainment and progress are presented. The course focuses on turning IDSR data into clear lines of enquiry, connecting outcomes to pupil groups such as pupil premium, and presenting trends and sustained impact effectively during inspection. Course Overview Primary leaders are expected to interpret the IDSR confidently and explain what the data means for their school. Inspectors no longer focus only on isolated figures but on patterns over time, statistical significance and how leaders respond to emerging trends. This course provides practical strategies for analysing the IDSR, identifying meaningful patterns, linking outcomes to disadvantaged pupils and preparing clear narratives that demonstrate sustained improvement. Participants will learn how to move from raw numbers to strategic insight, ensuring they can confidently discuss attainment, progress, and group performance during inspection conversations.
