MAT & LA Dashboards
Strategic dashboards and commentary reports spanning a range of topics – so you can prioritise support to the schools or groups of children that need it most
In a time of increasing expectations but limited resources, it can be increasingly challenging to prioritise resources to have the biggest impact on your schools. And you need to stay on top of numerous aspects of performance, provision, finances and more. Data, when used effectively, is a powerful tool to inform school improvement. But you need it on a timely basis in an accessible way, ideally in a single place, so that you can easily find the areas that most need your focus.
At Mime our analysis is used by thousands of schools and their MATs and local authorities each year. We have a range of analysis products and strategic tools to support MAT and local authority leaders to identify the areas where their support is most needed, be that particular schools, pupil groups or subjects. And it also helps to identify areas of good practice where insights can be shared between schools.
All our MAT and LA reports include our trademark visual style which makes them simple and enjoyable to use. Our school profiles are used by hundreds of schools each year and draw together a range of data to provide a clear visual, summary of information across a whole school, MAT or local authority. They are designed to be used by senior leadership teams, governors, advisors or indeed anyone interested in a comprehensive yet easy-digest overview of a school.
Our School Lists reports provide a comprehensive overview of assessments, pupil behaviour, key operational data and more, split by each of your schools and with MAT/LA, and England averages.
