Prior to joining SISRA Andrea had a varied career path including 10 years working for the Ministry of Defence and 4 years as an Early Years SENCo. Andrea was a Data Manager in a mixed 11-19 school in rural Wiltshire, where she became a confident user of various SIMs modules, including Assessment Manager, Course Manager, Nova-T6 and Exams Organiser. A passionate believer that when data is used smartly it has the power to change student outcomes, she has spent much of her time promoting the use of systems which would save teacher time, improve the parent/school interaction and improve student outcomes. With this goal in mind Andrea started using SISRA Online in 2010 and quickly fell in love with the accessibility and flexibility of the system, as did the teaching staff in her school. Andrea joined SISRA in 2018 and is based in the south west of England.
