RAISEonline update

Dear RAISEonline news members

We are pleased to inform you of the provisional timetable for the release of 2014 Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 validated data and the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) outcomes. If any of these dates change, we will notify you via RAISEonline latest news.

• Key Stage 2 interactive reports – 9am on Friday 27 February 2015
• EYFSP report – 9am on Friday 27 February 2015
• Key Stage 2 summary reports – 9am on Tuesday 3 March 2015

The new EYFSP report will be included in the summary reports for infant, primary and all-through schools.

• Key Stage 4 validated data – end of March 2015

The exact dates for publication of Key Stage 4 data will be confirmed nearer the time via RAISEonline latest news.

The validated data will reflect the outcome of requests for changes that schools may have submitted during the autumn schools performance tables' checking period, where these were received within the required deadlines and met the required criteria. The validated data will also include information received from awarding organisations relating to late-notified results or re-marks, but may not reflect the outcome of all late results, ongoing appeals or of late-resolved maladministration cases.
