We are aware that there are no official Scaled Scores for the 24/25 and 25/26 Leavers cohorts. However, because some schools have retrospectively allocated Scaled Scores for these students (further information is provided below), we have unlocked the Data Collaboration functionality in these two cohorts.
All of the usual Data Collaboration setup / publish checks and guidance are available, and if you have allocated Scaled Scores to your students, treat this cohort like any other to produce all KS2 prior attainment-based figures (P8, VA, and SPI).
Schools that have not allocated Scaled Scores, and therefore have no KS2 baselines, can ignore the KS2/EAP setup and publish checks, but still publish with Data Collaboration data enabled to see collaborative headline data. This also applies to MAT reporting. Where a relevant Grade Type has been selected, any published reports will still be promoted.
