QAR for 20/21?

Created

None

Morning,

In the latest ESFA update it mentions that QAR will not be published for 20/21 (although they will produce and send them to us internally) and that 'the approach for QARs will align with that for school and college performance tables'.

Does that mean there is a different methodology I need to follow for managing our performance for AEB and Apprenticeships for 20/21 alongside QAR? Does anybody have any information about how this school/college measurement differs from QAR?

Thanks

Steve

I don't *think* they mean the methodology is changing, just that the "alignment" is us getting the data along with Ofsted and the Agency like schools will.

That's my reading of it anyway! Obviously nothing published yet, but this seems to me to be precisely the wrong time to make any fundamental changes to the calculation...

My main question about this data is will it come with national averages, even if they're not published separately? Bit of a pain if it doesn't...
