We are pleased to advise that NASS is now an official distributor of CASPA and support provider to its member schools and is able to offer its members a significant discount on CASPA licence prices.
As you will be aware Ofsted now require schools to demonstrate good progress for their pupils with Special Educational Needs. CASPA is a simple and easy-to-use tool to assist with the analysis and evaluation of attainment and progress of pupils with Special Educational Needs.
CASPA was designed by SEN practitioners for SEN practitioners and covers assessment outcomes at both P Scales and National Curriculum levels up to level 8. It includes all Core and Foundation subjects as well as Personal and Social Development aspects.
CASPA provides schools with comparative data for individual pupils, cohorts within the school and the whole school to allow the bench-marking of attainment and progress, taking into account the pupil's age, level of prior attainment and the actual Special Educational Needs of the pupil. CASPA will also provide analyses to meet the needs of all those who require access to such information.
Assessment data in electronic format can be imported in to CASPA from other assessment packages and sources, e.g. B Squared; PIVATS; Common Transfer Files; SIMS.net Assessment Manager 7 and Excel spreadsheets. Bench-marking data is available as soon as results are entered or imported into CASPA.
CASPA provides tools to ensure the consistency of assessments within your school along with everything you will need to support the judgements you make about your pupils. It will provide you with assessments for both current and historic years, allow you to predict targets for one year ahead plus end of key stage targets for two years ahead where applicable and you will be able to save multi-media evidence and other documents to support your assessments within CASPA.
