Attainment Collection

Attainment Collection Reliable attainment data for faster decisions and clearer impact Bring exam results, teacher assessments and progress data into one secure, consistent dataset. Welfare Call’s Attainment Collection service gathers, validates and standardises attainment from every school and setting—so you can evidence impact, target support and report with confidence.

The challenge

too many sources, not enough certainty Attainment data often arrives in different formats, at different times, and with varying quality. Spreadsheets multiply. Definitions differ. Comparing cohorts or evidencing progress becomes slow and uncertain—just when leaders need clarity most.

We fix that. We collect and qualitycheck the data for you, then deliver it in a single, consistent view you can trust.

What we collect

  • We capture the full picture, across phases and settings:
  • National assessments & exams: Phonics, SATs, GCSEs (and equivalents)
  • Termly teacher assessments: Core subjects and local frameworks
  • Post16 outcomes: Where applicable and agreed
  • Custom measures: Bespoke indicators by cohort or plan (CLA, CiN, CP), as required
  • All data is standardised to your agreed definitions, ready for analysis, dashboards and statutory reporting.

Reliable data every time – we identify the named attainment officer in each school, ensuring information comes directly from the most trusted source.

Consistency made simple – our ready-made templates with set questions and drop-downs deliver accurate, comparable data across all provisions, making DfE reporting and Ofsted inspections easier.

Powerful insight at your fingertips – attainment data feeds directly into interactive analytical dashboards, highlighting gaps, tracking progress, and allowing deep dives by key variables like year group, key stage, gender, SEN, or ethnicity.
