  1. For KS5, in order to have the GCSE Maths and English Progress values show correctly on the Headlines for each dataset, we have to upload their latest GCSE Result into each dataset - this is just unnecessary work - as the student's grade will only change after the November or Summer Exam entries.

    It would be more efficient to just allow us to put in the official GCSE grades against each student after each results day, and SISRA just pick up the latest/best exam grade recorded.

  3. Ability to rename data sets by cohort, rather than key stage. This would be useful to ensure consistency and keep the system tidy between administrator changes or school changes if they join a trust.

  4. Being able to track things across multiple data sets is really useful. The Headlines Tracker report is very good. But this doesn't currently extend to the Qualifications/Grades reports - only 'average points' is trackable. Please give the ability to track 9-7%, 9-5%, 9-4%, SPI on the Tracker report.

  5. Can it made so that only datasets the are actually affected by a change can be set with the republish warning flag.
    for example, I have just added EPQ as a qualification ready for the Exam results, and now every single dataset needs republishing, when none of them are affected by the addition of the new qualification.

  6. KS5 includes the great functionality to allow 'Alternative Upload Values' in Grade Method creation / reconfiguration. Could this be extended to KS3/4 to allow schools to complete vocational assessments using own grade sturcture, and also allow the DfE style grades normally only seen on Embargo day. This would save a lot of 'grade not in method' icons and or updating / resolving within Excel before upload which is subject to human error.

  7. On the Manage Classes screen, could there be checkboxes for each row against the classes, so you could quickly tick multiple rows, then click on Exclude, Delete, etc.
    I just had to exclude 30 classes and it took 2 button clicks for every class.

  9. Add the KS2 Scaled Score details to the Individual Student page (on the bit where you see SEN/Ethnicity etc) - their banding in shown, but not their KS2 scores - it would really handy for staff to be able to access this information easily via SISRA, and this seems a logical place for them to sit - there's even a gap at the end of the final row where they could fit in.

  10. Ex users of 4Matrix and they had an overview report which we sadly miss. It had so much information which i am now having to recreate with at least 20 different reports in Sisra. I'd love to upload a sample to show you what is needed.

    Column headings include Key filters
    ( All, M/F/H/M/L/FSM/PP/Non PP SEN/Class breakdown, Gap, Grades 7+, 5+, 4+, Above, on /Below/ Target 7+, 5+ ,4+/ A* Score, APS, Estimate against target score.

  11. It would be extremely useful if you could support having multiple tabs of SISRA open at the same time. This would make flicking between reports so much quicker and easier than it currently is.

  12. Please could you do a data collab to estimate KS5 VA scores in a similar way to how you do P8 estimates at KS4? The VA value published for my 2024 cohort is vastly different to the Sisra estimate which was based on the 2019 data. It would be great if we could get estimates in the weeks after results day to help with our analysis, rather than having to wait for the official publication in February.

  13. On the usage page (https://www.sisraanalytics.co.uk/Users/Usage) it would be extremely useful to have a sort and filter functionality.

    Additionally, it would be good to be able to click into a user and see their history of logins.

    This is because we want better tools to track our teacher, department, leader engagement with Sisra Analytics in order to help, train and encourage the right people, to improve our data knowledge and the effect it can have in school.

  18. Create the revised English, Maths Science (2 slots), and "breadth" other subjects (4 slots) as outlined in the Curriculum and assessment review, school can then use this in advance of the change to see the impact on results, historically) to predict future results

  19. Hide columns.
    Be able to hide columns so that they don't confuse staff. We use KS2 Baseline data but to produce a target grade, you still need to add a Grade in order for it to create a target flightpath. This grade column is meaningless and would be better if we could hide it from view so that staff don't accidently use that column as the target grade.

  20. to be able to have ALL subjects grade analysis and by groups on the same page (currently we need to apply breakdown to analyse subjects by gender/Fsm/sen all separate)
    it works for all students grade analysis by group but we want it by subjects on 1 page so like matrix of by groups and by qualification
