#Insightevents
Purpose
• A new online tool designed to analyse, compare and
improve the performance of pupils in the senior phase
• Will be used by secondary schools, local authorities
and Education Scotland
• Aims to encourage:
o professional reflection
o a collaborative approach to looking at data and
working together as part of the improvement process
• Replaced STACs (Standard Tables and Charts) from
September 2014
Policy
• Tool developed in response to a
number of policy commitments:
• BtC5: A Framework for
Assessment
• BtC3: A Framework for Learning
and Teaching
• Raising Attainment for All
• Teaching Scotland’s Future
Commission for Developing Scotland’s

qualifications related to vocational education
e.g. National Certificates, Higher National
Certificates/units, Skills for Work and
Certificate of Work Readiness
• National measures include post-school
participation including employment

hub
A dynamic benchmarking tool
• Access for secondary school and local
authority staff.
• Easy and intuitive to use.
• Provides a rounded picture of performance.
• Measures units where appropriate.
• Includes a wide range of SCQF credit-rated
awards and learning programmes.
Inclusion of wider awards
• Wider awards must meet set criteria:
- Be on the SCQF Framework.
- Fit Curriculum for Excellence principles.
- Meet Insight technical requirements.
Examples of Awards
•
•
•
•
•
Youth Scotland – Youth Achievement Award
ASDAN - Certificate of Personal Effectiveness

Valuing wider achievement
• Just one way in which information will be
provided on wider achievement e.g. pupil
profiles, school handbooks and inspections.
• Decisions for wider achievement should be
made on the best needs of the learner rather
than on the basis of the awards included in
the tool.

Comparator
National benchmarking measures
• Show four nationally consistent measures.
• Focus on ‘leavers’ since point of exit is a
consistent point of comparison.
• Use ‘latest’ and ‘best’.
• National benchmarking data available for
all users.
The Virtual Comparator
• The key benchmark.
• Characteristics of pupils in a school matched
with pupils from across Scotland with similar
characteristics.
• 10 matching pupils are randomly selected
based on gender, additional support needs,
latest stage and the Scottish Index of Multiple
Deprivation.
Local benchmarking measures
• The local dashboard provides staged-based
versions of the national dashboard.
• Additional measures on curricular areas,
subjects and courses.
• Available at individual school level and for the
school’s local authority.
• Available also to Learning Partners.
Learning Partners
• Find partners via ranked list of real schools.
• Propose/accept partnership requests.
• Schools that become Learning Partners will be
able to share data relating to local measures.
• Encourage professional dialogue between and
among different schools.
