Once you have uploaded at least one grades file into Analytics, you will be able to access the Grades Management section. This section will display information for each qualification in that data set or assessment collection you’re working in, including grade counts and selections made on the Matching page.
Analytics will also perform checks on the grades uploaded and Attitude to Learning (AtL) judgements imported, to find any potential setup issues that could affect the integrity of the reports. Therefore it is always advisable to check the Grades Management page before moving on to publish your data set or assessment collection.
How to access the Grades Management page
The screenshots display KS3/4 Grades Management however the process is the same for KS3/4 and KS5.
To access the Grades Management page, go to DATA > select keystage and cohort > GRADES > Grades Management. You will then be directed to select a data set that you wish to view from the dropdown box.
If you select 'Assessments', you will then need to select an assessment collection from the second dropdown that will appear as shown in the screenshot below.
Once you have selected your data set or assessment collection, the full Grades Management page will be displayed. It will display a table with the following headings:
- Qualification Name: this column will display a list of all your Qualifications that have been set up on the Matching page (whether there are any grades uploaded for that qualification or not).
- Classes/Set of Classes: this column will display the name of the set of Classes assigned to each Qualification.
- Grades Count: this will display how many grades have been uploaded for each qualification in this data set of assessment collection.
- Attitude to Learning Judgements (if configured): these columns (up to three) will display the number of each Attitude to Learning Judgements that have been uploaded for each qualification in this data set or assessment collection. In the screenshot below these are 'Homework' and 'Behaviour' but your headings may differ based on what Attitude to Learning categories you have configured.
- EAP: this column will display which EAP has been assigned to each qualification on the Matching page.
- Grades Method: this column will display which Grade Method has been assigned to each qualification on the Matching page.
- Actions: this column will always display a magnifying glass symbol that will take you to the 'Manage Qualification Details' page. It may also contain other symbols containing links to aid in fixing Warning Icons that are displayed (more detail below)
Warning Icons
If there are issues with the set up that will stop the grades/judgements appearing appropriately in the reports, the Grades Management page will display various Warning Icons to alert you to these issues. Some of these issues will affect how your grades/judgements appear in the reports, but some will stop you from publishing a data set or assessment collection.
At the top right corner of the Grades Management page there is a key to help in interpreting the warning icons. You can also hover over an icon with your cursor for a tip.
