Year 6 Transition – Data Collection for Hounslow Secondary Schools

Published: Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 at 2:09 PM

Dear Primary Headteacher,

Year 6 Transition – Data Collection for Hounslow Secondary Schools

Following requests from primary colleagues, secondary Headteachers have confirmed the use of one agreed form for the collection of transition data from Hounslow Primary Schools.

Secondary Transfer Data Template - Final

Secondary Contacts for Primary Transition Data

This form has been produced using secondary school samples and drafts have been discussed and checked with Eileen Sheedy and John Norton on your behalf. The aim is to ensure that:

(i) secondary colleagues get the information that might normally be received through individual school’s data collections, school visits and telephone calls, and

(ii) to lessen the administrative burden of multiple requests for primary colleagues.

The data required for this collection should not duplicate the information that will be transferred on the Common Transfer File (CTF).

Secondary colleagues are clear that no further requests for information will be made, although should you request a follow-up regarding a particular student, this can be noted on the form.

I would also suggest that you utilise this form for data transfer for other schools outside Hounslow and again not entertain multiple data requests. Hounslow secondary schools will be using the form for out-of-borough schools as well.

Populating the Form

The form is in a .xlsm format and needs to remain so for the drop-down menus to work. Please do not save in a different format.

When opening the document, there may be a security warning (not an issue) and it will ask if you wish to enable content. Say ‘yes’ to this request to enable the macros which allow the drop-downs to work.

The form is split into different sections and some columns have drop-downs, others boxes are for comments.

For the Ability Levels section please note that this should be “on track” for the end of Year 6, rather than current levels or levels prior to school closure.

Transferring Information

All primary and secondary schools will have a copy of this form.

If primary colleagues could populate this for their cohorts, extract the relevant students for each secondary school and send a password protected file via email or other protected transfer to the relevant secondary school.

Review

If all colleagues could keep a record of any improvements that might be useful for future use, please do so and feedback via Cormac Bourne at HEP.

Best wishes and thanks,

Euan Ferguson (Chair of Secondary Partnership)

What our members say

Ofsted Inspection Training – "Four days well spent! Supporting the development of our school under the guidance of a skilled trainer with a wealth of experience across the primary range was invaluable."

Primary Subject Networks – "The content in the sessions covers all aspects of high quality practice in Maths and it makes me reflective on my practice in class and how I lead and help develop other teachers."

Primary Subject Networks – "Meeting other subject leaders and sharing, makes me feel better about what we are delivering and that we are on the right track."

Develop your A level Teaching – "It was really nice to be able to talk to other A level German teachers as there aren’t very many and we could share our experiences."

Contingent Talk with Books – "Such a worthwhile project for Early Years, which you can see working right in front of your eyes. Well-planned and organised project, fantastic expert who inspires us all."

Get Hounslow Reading – "The biggest impact has been on our teachers’ enthusiasm for reading/books and their knowledge of high quality texts, finding innovative ways to engage readers through displays, book talk and story time."

Secondary Subject Networks – "There are so many useful takeaways from the meeting to help improve teaching and learning and they are things which can easily be put into place after the meeting."

Get Hounslow Reading – “There can be no doubt of the enthusiasm of Hounslow teachers and impact of their hard work on growing a Reading for Pleasure practice in their schools over this academic year. Many teachers said that the time to talk and share practice was what they valued most highly.” Charlotte Raby – Programme Facilitator

Secondary Subject Networks – “I really enjoy the content and the supportive group of fellow geography leaders discussing ideas in a non-judgmental, relatively informal way. The group certainly helps each other and fundamentally discusses relevant topics which are benefiting me.”

Get Hounslow Reading – "Very informative and helpful. A lovely chance to reflect. Excellent, enthusiastic delivery which would inspire anyone! You are very knowledgeable and sessions are well-organised. Thank you!”

Challenging Behaviour Training – “Great training, thank you for all your expertise and advice. I learnt lots of things about different ways that can affect pupils’ behaviour and how to deal with different situations."

Deep Dive Subject Leader Training – “Thank you for the very detailed and thorough subject leader checklist. It is an extremely useful and much necessary exercise. It's been an eye opener. Thank you”

Develop your A Level Teaching – “A much appreciated forum to apply pedagogy to a subject specific domain, with such rich professional talk after the keynotes in the Economics breakout session.”
