School Profiles
A comprehensive visual analysis of all aspects of a school or college, covering attainment and progress, pupil characteristics, attendance, exclusions, workforce, finance, inclusion and more
Running a modern school is challenging 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.
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 Profiles
We offer primary, secondary and post-16 profiles, including MAT or local authority level reports to show comparative data for all schools side by side. And, if the top-level analysis leads to more questions, we have additional, interactive tools that allow you to break the data down further and explore pupil level data.
