CSSC presents community profiling toolkit for controlled schools.
Welcome to the CSSC Community Profiling Toolkit (CPT)! The purpose of this unique toolkit is to help you as a school understand ‘who’ your local community is and ultimately inform decision-making around school performance and sustainability. Operationally, the CPT is designed to enable and equip you in using census data to create profiles of your local community. These profiles include variables such as school age population, parent qualifications, and religion, across a hierarchy of geographies from NI level (highest) to Data Zone (lowest). The CPT itself comprises nine colour-coded tabs. The wider context around the need to objectively know and understand your communities, is presented in the Rationale. Core functionality of the CPT is achieved by accessing the Instruction tab, along with Excel Templates, Appendices, and Worked Examples tabs. The Applications, Reference, and Testimonial tabs are designed to support and encourage CPT use, while the Toolkit Download tab provides quick access to the full CPT. We’re excited to hear about your experiences so please scan or click the QR code to give us your feedback!
