What information is sent to Heads of Department and Sparx Leaders

Weekly insights emails provide high-level insights and data to Heads of Department and Sparx leaders, about homework rates at their school for the previous week. Termly reports are also sent for the Autumn and Spring Term.

1. Your school's overall Compulsory on-time hand-in rate
2. The difference between your school's most recent hand-in rate and the previous week's hand-in rate. This won't show if your school didn't set any compulsory homeworks in the previous week.
3. Your school's percentile rank amongst all schools using Sparx Maths (based on compulsory on-time hand-in rates).
4. An insight and recommendation that focuses on non-starter rates, low completion rates or nearing completion rates.
