The Analysis (Insight) Headlines page gives you access to the key data you are frequently asked for, but also visualises and reinterprets those figures to make them accessible to a wider audience.
The text snippets and charts on the page can be easily copied and used to support LAs reporting processes.
Printing & Help
If you're reading this guide, you probably don't need to click about this page, but if you do, you'll find some basic information about the page you are viewing.
We've also included a link to this guide.
If you want to print the page, you can, but consider whether the person you're printing for should have access to Analysis (Insight), or whether you could screenshot the parts you want.
Options
To open and change the options used in the page displayed at any time, click the red Options button.
As you notice from the screenshot below, you have a button to switch list view and card view (card view shown in the screenshot). No matter how the information is displayed, you can only apply the changes you have made to this screen by selecting one of the indicators (for example clicking the Good Level of Development card in the screen shot below). If you close the pop-up with the close button or the cross at the top of the pop-up, your selections will be discarded.
There are a number of options you can change at the top of this pop-up.
Ac. Year
The current academic year is available after the spring census (and becomes the new default) but a number of previous years are available to select
The academic year you have selected may change whether the page is populated with Keypas data or DfE sourced data, check the data source article on the left of this page for more information.
Area
The default value for this option is Key Indicators this is a combination of indicators from all key stages, and also key absence and exclusions indicators. This is what is displayed on the options popup when entering Insight: Headlines. Selecting a specific area, such as key stage 2, will include all indicators for that area, not just those that are considered key indicators. You can also click directly on a specific indicator from the list/cards displayed in the options pop-up.
You will notice that the Area menu remains available in this page - even after you close the pop-up - and you can click on it at any time to display key indicators for a given reporting area when the pop-up opens again. However, you will not enable the full drill down into the value, trends and ranks sections until you select a specific indicator from the options available - only doing this will allow you to apply the changes you've selected.
If you want to know more about the indicators that are available in each area in Insight, take a look at the following articles:
Comparator
The default comparator is National. Changing the comparator will replace the national values on charts and in text, with your chosen comparator (for example Regional, or schools in selected categories of Ofsted judgements)
Note: the rank section of the page will no longer be displayed if a comparator other than national is selected as ranking only functions across all National schools.
