The reports option will take you to a suite of interactive reports which contain your school performance data. These reports are provided as part of your LA's membership to the NCER. Access to these reports is managed by your LA Performance Data Team on a school level and by your Perspective Lite administrators on an individual permission level.

These reports are provided as part of your LA’s membership to the NCER CiC (National Consortium for Examination Results).

More information about the NCER can be found here: https://www.ncer.org/PublicResources/About.aspx

If there are any problems with the data in your reports, you need to contact your Local Authority.

How to Run a Data Report

Click on Services > All Services > Reports.

On the main reports page, you will be able to select filters (Year, Key Stage, Tags, Title) to narrow down the report, or alternatively you can scroll down the page to find the report you are looking for.

You can select one of two different data sources when running a report, depending on which data has been released. The KEYPAS data will return data sets such as DfE and AAT available to your LA (data that your Local Authority has imported). The NPD data will return data that has come directly from the DfE (usually a more finalised version of the data).

Depending on your school type, your Reports section may not look exactly like the image above.

Click on Run to generate the report. You will notice that you have a selection of filters on the right hand side of the page. You can use these to filter the data that is returned.

If you select a filter, it will turn orange. This is to show that the filter is not currently applied to
the report. Click Apply All to generate the report using your chosen filters.

Pupil filters determine the exact pupils that are returned within the data on the report. Display
Options determine how the pupils you selected using the pupil filters are displayed.

For example: If you only want to return the data for your SEN pupils, use the SEN
Pupil Filter. If you want to view all pupils, but group them into SEN and NOT SEN,
then you would need to use the SEN grouping type within the Display Options.

You can also export the results of your report by clicking the Export button and then selecting
the file type you wish to download.
