Online help
Whilst Aspire is easy to use, you’ll find step by step guides, videos and case studies to help you interpret and analyse your data. All available directly from the new Aspire home page.
New pupils, new data, no problem
Aspire’s new on-screen pupil importing makes it even easier to access estimates for new pupils the moment they arrive at your school.
Quick and simple
Aspire’s on-screen importing allows you to import up-to 5 pupils at a time. No need for excel exports and imports!
Instant access to data
Intervention and support is most effective when delivered early. Access FFT estimates, prior attainment and other contextual data to support early intervention and maximise pupil potential.
Is your school on target?
Aspire generates school targets automatically from your pupil targets. So now you can compare your school targets to FFT’s benchmark estimates to see if you’re on track to meet your goals.
No need to add up your pupil targets
Aspire now automatically aggregates your pupil targets into subject targets.
School estimates vs school targets
Compare your school targets against FFT’s three standard benchmark estimates. Are you on track to make average, high or very high progress?
Individual AND combined subject targets
As well as targets for individual subjects – Reading, Writing, Maths, GPS – Aspire also produces combined targets for DfE headline indicators including Reading/Writing/Maths & Reading/Maths.
Extended subject choice
We’ve extended the range of GCSE subjects included in Aspire’s Target setting module allowing you to produce aggregated subject targets for all the most popular GCSE subjects.
Are you closing the gaps?
Aspire automatically aggregates targets at pupil group level. Use Aspire to compare targets for disadvantaged vs non-disadvantaged pupils and see if you’re closing the gap.
A deeper, wider view of attainment and progress in your school
An extended view of your school in a single PDF document. Clearly identify strengths & weaknesses across subjects and pupil groups.
The long and short of it
Longer than a standard Aspire PDF School Dashboard, MUCH shorter than a RAISEonline summary report. The Extended version of the school dashboard provides the perfect balance between detailed analysis and usability.
Subject-specific focus
The extended dashboard includes subject specific sections allowing you to focus on the areas that matter for your school.
Seamless interaction with the main Aspire system
The Extended School Dashboard is the starting point for your school self evaluation and blends seamlessly with the main Aspire system. Use the extended dashboard to identify issues and delve further using the full interactive features available in Aspire.
Quick and easy access
Both the standard and extended dashboards can be downloaded directly from the new Aspire home page.
