Service Level Agreement 2024-2025 — Southampton Maintained Schools and Academies — Data Team

Introduction and what we do

Introduction

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) is between the school governing body / academy and the Data, Intelligence, and Insight Team (known as the ‘Data Team’) on behalf of Southampton City Council.

To regulate dealing between parties and to set obligations, performance and payment terms, this Service Level Agreement specifically relates to the operation of the scheme for data and performance management support to schools provided by the council.

This Service Level Agreement is for the period 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025. Any services bought during the SLA period outlined above will be charged at the full rate as outlined in this document.

The Data Team will only provide minimum support with statutory data collection duties for maintained schools / academies who select a Bronze Service Level Agreement (guidance documents only).

The Data Team will serve to act as “Data Gatekeeper” in order to restrict the requests for data from schools by the City Council.

What We Do

Through our charged and ad hoc service options, we will provide additional services which will benefit schools / academies in the area of data and performance management to:

  • Meet school’s / academy’s statutory obligations for statistical returns to central government.
  • Support professional development around the changing education performance landscape and the effective use of data.
  • Provide comprehensive insightful analysis of headline performance measures and a range of subgroups and combinations of subgroups.
  • Assist with school self-evaluation, improvement planning and target setting.
  • Inform strategic decisions based on accurate performance and demographic information.
  • Update schools on data management / analysis at both local and national scales.

Service levels

School Service Options

Service Level Early Years Infant Junior Primary Secondary Special / PRU
Bronze £0 £0 £0 £0 £0 £0
Silver £450 £550 £605 £825 £825 £825
Gold N/A £1,603 £1,784 £2,587 £2,956 £1,369

Bronze Service Level Agreement

Minimal support with statutory duties only (guidance documents only).

Silver Service Level Agreement

In addition to the service provided to Bronze Schools, those schools who buy into the Silver service will receive:

  • Quality assurance of statutory returns made via the Data Team or the DfE data collection website COLLECT
  • Telephone and email support from the Data Team with performance data queries
  • Enhanced statutory return support
  • Statutory return training webinars, e.g., School Census and School Workforce Census
  • Telephone and e-mail support with data management issues and analysis issues

Gold Service Level Agreement

The Data Team have a well-established record of delivering headline and detailed pupil group analysis with National comparators to Gold SLA schools well ahead of the publication of the Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR) and Analyse School Performance (ASP). EYFS, Phonics and KS1 reports have traditionally been with schools ahead of the summer holiday, KS2 reports have initially been released on results day with more detailed versions following shortly afterwards. In 2023, KS4 detailed reports and interactive reporting functionality, which included National averages, were released the same week as the data was shared with the Local Authority. The Data Team’s Gold SLA service therefore allows a school to replicate the Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR) and Analyse School Performance (ASP) report up to five months ahead of official publications. This enables schools to implement early interventions, have a robust evidence base for school improvement action plans and be prepared for OFSTED inspections early in the Autumn term with the latest data.

The breadth of the Data Team offer has been substantially enhanced to incorporate detailed analysis of the whole school cohort. Pupil characteristic group options, for each term, visualise and verbalise the variation between different cohorts within your school and National comparator groups, such as those related to: pupil characteristics, deprivation (FSM, disadvantaged, IDACI), mobility, prior attainment, absence and suspensions.

In addition to services provided to Silver schools, those who buy into the Gold SLA service will receive:

  • A range of reports as listed in section 4, appropriate for your school for the current academic year, offering enhanced analysis beyond what is provided within Analyse School Performance (ASP) or Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR).

As well as the reports in section 4, schools will also receive:

  • Perspective Lite unlimited account access: a one stop shop allowing schools to access early School, LA and National key indicator results through dynamic reporting, containing a broad range of pupil groups (disadvantaged, SEN, prior attainment, EAL, ethnicity, gender), census analysis (including detailed absence and suspension data) and OFSTED school / inspector search information. The recent introduction of the Insight module lets schools drill down into their strengths and weaknesses rapidly with data visualisation and verbalisation.
  • NCER Nationals offering enhanced early insight for attainment and progress (EYFS, Phonics, KS1, KS2 and KS4).
  • For KS2 and KS4, the Data Team will adjust analysis to reflect discounted pupil submissions made within the Performance Tables checking exercise.
  • School Performance Data Guide containing all the latest performance indicators and methodologies including Absence, Suspensions and Early Years Foundation Stage Profile through to Key Stage 4.
  • One day’s consultation / bespoke analysis (7 hours) – preparation, travel and report writing will be included within this time. You decide, examples of training and analysis previously requested are:
    • SLT training – A review of the school’s performance covering headline indicators, pupil groups and combinations of groups.
    • Internal tracking review – An assessment of the current strengths and weaknesses of the internal tracking and monitoring approach used by the school.
    • Collaboration analysis – It is possible for groups of schools with a Gold SLA to request collaboration analysis that provides the average result across the schools included within that analysis and / or individual school outcomes. To request this analysis all schools must hold a Gold SLA with the Data Team. Each school included in the analysis must give permission for their school’s inclusion in this analysis. The time taken to produce this analysis will be deducted from each school’s 7 hours of bespoke analysis.
  • Emergency cover for statutory returns (one day per year)
  • Free access to all training events for school staff. (2 places per school per in-person event, minimum of 3 events to be provided a year)
  • Online access to current and historical school analysis reports that have been included within previous years’ SLA services purchased.
  • Analysis of DfE Statistical Release publications for EYFS, Phonics, KS1, KS2, KS4, KS5, Absence and Suspensions / Exclusions.
  • IDACI mapping of your school pupils.

Please see Annex A for a range of report examples.

Analysis specific

To ensure all schools receive high quality reports in a timely manner, the focus of the first half term (autumn) will primarily be on report publication. Training courses will be prioritised during the second half term (autumn), allowing all schools an equal opportunity to access support using the most up to date reports produced earlier in the term. Further courses, webinars, or workshops will be available during the spring and summer term.

Individual bespoke school visits, or online face-to-face meetings, will therefore be available from the spring term onwards except in exceptional circumstances where visits during the autumn term may be negotiated with the Data Team.

Reports – Special / PRU

Please contact the Data Team to discuss school specific options and charges. The Data Team can provide Special schools with reports that include National Averages that reflect the Primary Need types most prevalent in your school. This is possible for Absence, Suspensions / Exclusions, School Characteristics and End of Key Stage outcomes.

Training and ad hoc consultations

Training - All schools (per delegate)

Service Price
Training half day £270
Training full day £539

Ad hoc consultations/bespoke analysis/visits/cover

Service Price
Half Day £380
Whole Day £759

Any paid training, or training as part of an SLA, that is cancelled will incur charges as per the booking form if 1 weeks’ notice is not given.

Please note that following a detailed review of FFT Aspire usage within Southampton schools and an assessment of the value added, the service will no longer be available through this SLA. This decision was taken due to the sustained low usage by Southampton schools, the substantial duplication with other services still offered and its increasing price. Target setting support will continue to be offered to Gold SLA schools as part of the Data Team SLA. Schools should also be aware that DfE Sign-In now offers schools real time attendance reporting with almost all schools contributing to National averages.

Groups of School Analysis, commitments and reviews

Groups of School Analysis

For school groups (trusts / federations / clusters) that all hold a Gold SLA located within the Local Authority, group analysis can be provided as part of the schools’ combined bespoke analysis allocation (no additional cost). Gold SLA school groups will have the option to have a report that includes aggregated school outcomes with or without individual school breakdowns, LA and national data. Areas that can be analysed include School Characteristics, EYFS, Phonics, KS1, KS2, KS4, Absence and Suspensions / Exclusions. There are a number of pupil groups that can be included within this group analysis, such as Disadvantaged and SEN.

For school groups that include Silver or Bronze schools, analysis will be limited to aggregated school outcomes only. There will be an additional charge per school that does not hold a Gold SLA.

Please contact the Data Team to discuss your school group analysis requirements.
