CES, the Fischer Family Trust and the Diocese of Portsmouth are collaborating on a pilot project which provides schools with access to value-added data on subject performance in English and Religious Studies.

It is anticipated that dioceses and schools will be able to use this data to:

·         support improvements in Religious Studies

·         identify and disseminate effective practice

·         provide information for section 48 inspectors (these inspections focus on religious education and the religious life of a school)

The purpose of the pilot is to test these objectives and ascertain:

• the accessibility of the on-line reports
• ways in which the data can be used to support work in schools and dioceses
• the support required
• costs and value.
