One Year on – Using InCAS Data in the Autumn of 2010

Last year the teaching staff at St Ita’s Primary School set up an InCAS Tracking Form for each pupil and while they continued to use it in the autumn of 2010, they also adapted a table which allowed them to group pupils in a class. Watch video here.

Using and Analysing InCAS Data to Inform Teaching & Learning

This case study outlines in practical terms one school’s approach to managing their InCAS assessments and then analysing and using their feedback data to assist their teaching and planning.

We have focused on St. Ita’s Primary School in Belfast – a large school where 210 pupils sat all available InCAS assessments in the Autumn of 2009. 

The case study hopes to highlight how effective analysis and use of InCAS feedback data can inform the planning of teaching and learning as well as inform school development planning at class, year group and whole school level – with the ultimate aim to ensure that all pupils are making appropriate progress and reach their learning potential.

Please note – the following case study is based on the school’s approach in Autumn 2009 and thus precedes the DE Circular 2010/20 issued on 18 August 2010.

With regard to reporting to parents in Autumn 2010, please refer to the DE Circular 2010/20.
