Great advice!
2. Break down for all significant groups (PP, EAL, male, female - whatever is relevant in your context)
3. Compare with previous years, and with national (JCQ have now published national grade distribution by subject)… 2/

7. Break these averages down by class - use as a basis to coach teachers to work on their own areas for development and identify personal targets for specific areas of the spec… 5/
8. Compare your averages to last year. Think - what are the trends? Where are the improvements? Declines? Do you know why?
