Becta have just published further support for schools to get a handle on information managment.   Please see note from Becta website below:

Information Management Strategy framework now available

The need for information management

Effective use of data is a key issue for school management, as system integration enhances the smooth running of the school, with not only improved efficiencies but also possible cost savings.

Becta has published an Information Management Strategy framework guide to help schools make more effective and secure use of their data and improve the quality of data that they hold.

The Information Management Strategy framework is designed to help schools to review their current position on data management and provides helpful tips and hints on how to plan further actions.

Using the Information Management Strategy framework will help your school to improve the quality of the data you collect and manage it more effectively to support teaching and learning. It will also assist you in meeting the aims of Every Child Matters, the requirements of safeguarding children and parental engagement. There is also information to help schools improve data security.
