Beyond levels: adapting to a levels-free era in education

Graham Cooper of Capita SIMS discusses how schools must adapt to a new level-free era in education.

For the last 20 years, schools across the country have monitored progress in terms of levels set by the government. Schools are awakening to a new dawn when they must decide which direction to take now that levels have disappeared.

In the first of a new series of free Education Today editorial webinars, Graham, who now heads up product strategy at Capita SIMS, discusses:

• The findings of Capita SIMS research which reveal how schools are responding to the changes
• Where to begin when planning an alternative model
• Examples of schools that have ventured down this route
• How an MIS can play a vital role in the transition to life after levels.
