If your school does not report to the DfE, then you may still be able to benefit from the analysis provided by opting into Data Collaboration. This will depend on the type of data you upload into Analytics and how you use the reports.
Although your data will not be collected for Data Collaboration, you would still be able to use the collaborative data within the reports for comparative purposes if you complete the steps below:
Step 1 / CONFIG. - Data Collaboration
To opt in to the Data Collaboration, click CONFIG. > Data Collaboration > then click ‘Exams’ next to the latest cohort. Read through the information presented, then tick the box at the bottom of the page and click ‘Submit’.
Step 2 / Students - Key Filter Mapping
If you currently publish your reports using DfE rules then completing the student Filter Mapping will allow you to compare your published figures against our collaborative Headlines data, including figures broken down by Sisra Key Filters (Disadvantaged, Gender, and SEN).
Student Filter Mapping allows you to tell us which, if any, of your school’s filters correspond to our Sisra Key Filters in order to allow for direct comparison with collaborative data in reports.

Step 3 / Matching
If your school makes use of KS2 National Curriculum baselines you will also be able to access Sisra collaborative data for comparative analysis in Grades reports, including subject-level transition matrices.
The Matching page allows you to tell us which official DfE qualifications correspond to your school’s qualifications from the Matching page. By doing this, we're then able to highlight potential issues with your grade method in the DC Exams Check column, if the method within the EAP varies to what is expected based on guidance.
