Analysing School Data

No statistics degree required. Learn practical ways to interpret data and identify trends.

Key Concepts

Visualising Data

Charts and graphs reveal patterns that spreadsheets hide. Use bar charts for comparisons, line graphs for trends.

Identifying Trends vs Anomalies

A one-time dip is an anomaly. A consistent decline is a trend. Know the difference before acting.

Segmentation

Break data down by class, grade, gender, and demographic. Averages can hide important gaps.

Summary

Data analysis is a skill. Practise it regularly with your leadership team.
