This article aims to explain how to find out which students in your cohort have no KS2 Prior Attainment data.
First, navigate to REPORTS > Select KS3/4 > Select Cohort and Dataset > Whole Cohort report.
Once here, scroll down to the Attainment / Progress 8 Summary section.
Next, click on the total count figure next to Pupils Included (Progress 8 Coverage), as illustrated in the screenshot above. This will take you to the A8/P8 Area - P8 Overview - Students report, and will show all students in the cohort who have KS2 Prior Attainment data, and therefore are included in the Progress 8 measure.
In order to change this to show the students without KS2 Prior, click into the Measures tab at the top and then click 'Add/Remove Measures'. In the Headline Measures window that follows, change the tick for Pupils Included (Progress 8 Coverage) from Include to Exclude, then click 'Apply'.
This will now show all students who are On Roll in your cohort, with no KS2 data, as can be seen in the blank 'KS2 Prior' column. As such, these students will not count in Prior Attainment based measures such as Progress 8 or SPI.
If there are students appearing with no KS2 Prior showing that should have, we'd recommend contacting your Sisra Administrator to double check their KS2 scores have been entered.
