Wendy Jackson, Service Lead: Quality Standards and Performance to present the report at the meeting. Report attached.

Wendy Jackson, Service Lead Quality Standards and Performance explained that the post of Data Analyst within the Pupil Performance Data Team was established as a one year, fixed-term post pending review within the restructure of the Education and Inclusion services in July 2019.  The post was recruited to in March 2020.  An extension has been granted to 30 June 2021 under an operational decision by the Executive Director of Children’s Service to enable the review to take place.

The Data Analyst post contributes significantly to the Council’s statutory responsibilities in relation to data collection from schools and our role in knowing the performance of all schools in the borough.   In addition the post contributes to fulfilment of assessment service level agreements with schools.  The lean service review of Traded Services has now been completed. The level of demand for the Data Service Level Agreements remains, despite this being the second year with no formal assessments due to the pandemic, and therefore there is a need to retain this full-time post.   In summary, the Data Analyst post enables: • delivery of the LA’s statutory functions in relation to school performance including schools causing concern • fulfilment of Service Level Agreements with schools and development of the offer • the Data Manager to undertake work for the Directorate, wider services and regionally

Pupil Performance Data Manager Grade 12
