6.  Previously, new schools didn’t get access to RAISEonline until their first key stage data were released.  From now on, if they wish, new schools will be able to request an empty data set in RAISEonline.  When they have uploaded the details of their pupils into the system, schools will be able to use QLA and target setting.  When key stage data are published, schools will access them from their existing accounts. RAISEonline provision for new schools

7.  Each virtual school is an empty data set in RAISEonline that can be populated by the LA.  LAs may request a number of virtual schools for different purposes- e.g. LAC, SEN, FSM.  Pupil limit is 49,000 – high enough for most LAs to upload all pupils in a phase. Local authority ‘virtual’ schools

8.  Changes will occur in RAISEonline reporting that reflect changes to way testing is carried out, such as the end of KS3 testing and the possible introduction of single-level tests.  We are currently considering which other developments should be prioritized for 2009.  Your feedback is welcomed. Looking to the future…
