We want to develop data literate
school leaders*
A data-literate leader:
• Thinks about purpose
• Recognises the usefulness and limitations of data, and the
importance of other kinds of evidence
• Is (sufficiently) knowledgeable about statistical concepts
• Uses data to raise questions and hypotheses
• Shows empathy with different audiences
• Ensures access to data to others that need it and supports its
interpretation
* Based on a concept developed by Lorna Earl and Steven Katz in ‘Leading Schools in a Data-Rich
World’ p18-20

How well are all your pupils
achieving?
Some key questions to ask:
• Which pupils and pupil groups in your school are achieving
well?
• Are all pupils, including disadvantaged groups, fulfilling their
potential or should they achieve more?
• Do pupils, who did well in a prior Key Stage, lose momentum
and fail to make progress?
• Are the most disadvantaged pupils, or those with SEN, making
sufficiently rapid progress to catch up with their peers?
• Are the most able pupils stretched and challenged
sufficiently?
• Are overall results at the end of a Key Stage concealing poor
progress?
