Further functionality

If you like the look of these there is a premium option which gives you even more data analysis, including a set of 5 reports showing the gaps between different student groups across attendance attainment. You will get individual reports on Prior Attainment, Ethnicity, Disadvantage, Gender, and SEN. These will allow you to identify which areas in your school to focus on and why.

The paid option will also give you an Attainment and Progress Report across different demographic groups at your school over the last 3 years, and also a Financial Benchmarking Report which will benchmark your school or academy’s income and expenditure patterns over the last 3 years to help identify where to save money and plan your next budget.

Version for Multi-Academy Trusts

Free version

Paid version

The MAT version of the free reports allow you to look at the same information as above but against the schools in your MAT. Drill down to see how individual schools, demographic groups or custom-built clusters are affecting results, or remove schools from your analysis to see how that changes your overall performance.
