Dear Colleague
ASSESSMENT: LANCASHIRE SCHOOL
SCHOOL INFORMATION PROFILE (LSIP) 2010/11 FOR
SECONDARY SCHOOLS
I am writing to inform you that your school's 2010/11
20
Secondary LSIP has now been updated
to include prior attainment and Key Stage 3 and 4 data in addition to the contextual
context
information previously published. The LSIP 'gap supplement'' which illustrates attainment
gaps at Key Stage 4 for key groups of pupils (including SEN category, FSM and ethnicity
has also been published.
The reports are available from your LSIP folder on Lancashire ROSE and are accompanied
by updated Interpretation and Technical Guidance notes.
The files are named:

Developments
Whilst the 'gap supplement' remains similar to last year a number of improvements have
been made to the main LSIP as follows:
New format
A new colour format has been introduced into the LSIP and accompanying documents to
improve presentation and ease interpretation.
Prior Attainment: Key Stage 2 (LSIP Page 9)
A new page has been added including information on expected progress from Key Stage 1 –
Key Stage 2 and English and maths Level 4+. Note: the 2009/10 results are based on
Teacher Assessment as not all schools administered the tests in this year. All other results
are based on test results. Care should be exercised when comparing test results with
teacher assessment.
Key Stage 3 Results (LSIP Page 15)
Three new gender charts have been added showing information on expected progress from
Key Stage 2 – Key Stage 3 and English and maths Level 5+.
Key Stage 2 – Key Stage 4 Key Indicators Conversion Table (LSIP Page 19)
The prior attainment bands on this conversion table have been renamed to match the
indicators in RAISEonline and the DfE Performance Tables as follows:
Low (Below Level 4) = low attaining (APS<24),
Middle (At Level 4) = middle attaining (24≤ APS <30)
High (Above Level 4 = high attaining (APS ≥ 30)
Note: In FFT the above pupil groups differ, referring to the bottom third, middle third and top
third of pupils.
Key Stage 2 – Key Stage 4 Subject Conversion Table (LSIP Page 21)
This conversion table has been revised to be based on the new 2011 DfE methodology. For
further information on the methodologies used in the LSIP conversion tables see the
Technical Guidance Notes.
School Targets
Following the removal of statutory target setting at Key Stage 3 and 4, these targets are no
longer included in the LSIP.

Key Stage 4 Results (LSIP Pages 22-23)

Baccalaureate and 3 new gender charts on Page 23 showing information on expected
