11+ Scores by Sitting Date
Dear Warwickshire County Council,
I am interested in obtaining the following data.
For eleven plus tests sat for entry in: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 please provide for each separate date the test was taken the following data:
Date taken; number of candidates; mean score; lowest score; highest score.
I am unaware of this information being available elsewhere, if the Council has published, this information please inform me where.
Since the council has published all standardises scores this year, including the highest and lowest (which one could argue can identify a child - which is only possible if a child declares their score), I see no reason to not specify the number of candidates sitting the tests is the number is small. E.g. if four candidates sat on a particular date, then there is no reason to specify four.
Yours faithfully,
R Adams

Dear Warwickshire County Council,
Why has data not been provided for 2017, 2018, 2019 entry?
Yours sincerely,
R Adams
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail of 11 January 2019, in reply to our response to
your request for information.
As advised in our response letter of 11th January 2019, the information
that you have requested is not held in respect of the 2015, 2017, 2018 or
2019 entry years.
This is because this is not information that we normally hold - and there
is no legal requirement for us to either create or hold this information.
The only reason we are able to provide the data for the 2016 entry year is
because this was created and held by the council for specific purposes at
that time.
I trust this has helped to explain the situation.
However, should you be dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you
still retain the right to ask for an internal review as per our original
response letter.
Yours faithfully
Jonathan Sheward

Dear Warwickshire County Council,
Frankly, I do not believe your response.
Then, please provide me with the scores for each sitting date in an Excel spreadsheet and I will calculate the figures myself.

Dear Warwickshire County Council,
How can dates appear as unknown for certain scores?
This is not possible as dates are required to standardise scores.
Please explain clearly and provide dates with the scores.
Yours sincerely,
R Adams
Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your e-mail of 20 March 2019.
I have now received advice from colleagues in our Education and Learning
Team that they are unable to reply with certainty.
However it is assumed that those entries with no test date will have been
tested within Birmingham, rather than here in Warwickshire - as we operate
a shared testing process with the Grammar Schools of Birmingham
Foundation. Therefore such scores are standardised at their end before
being sent to us.
I am sorry that we are unable to give a clearer answer to your query.
However, please be advised that if you are still at all unhappy with the
way that your request has been dealt with, you are still entitled to
request a review under the council's internal review proceedings. Please
see our original response letter for details on how to request such a
review.
Yours faithfully
