Data management to support QLA• The role of data management within RAISEonline to

support QLA• Entering the pupils into the system with common transfer

files (CTF) This should be carried out using a CTF produced from the schools own

MIS

• Common CTF difficulties experienced by schools Most problems begin with schools MIS data sets Incomplete data sets Conflicting data sets Confused data sets

• Copying school cohorts using the data management functionality

Not advised as the best practice because pupil characteristics and context may change even if pupils remain the same
