Sisra Analytics has been an important part of All Hallows’ ecosystem for nearly a decade. The school uses this robust tool to ensure accurate, detailed data collection and analysis down to the decimal place. The effectiveness of the platform is boosted by the school’s dedicated administrator, whose perfectionism ensures impeccable data handling and interpretation.
The Juniper Education customer service team always provides rapid and reliable support whenever questions or concerns arise. The team’s commitment to providing prompt, helpful responses contributes significantly to the school’s confidence in using Sisra Analytics and interpreting its data.
By plotting exam outcomes, Sisra Analytics supports Quality Assurance at All Hallows. It also provides the school with the necessary tools to calculate Progress 8 benchmarks, which has been indispensable in tracking student progress and identifying areas for intervention.
The system is used to guide the creation of intervention strategies tailored to specific student groups, ensuring they receive the appropriate support. Line management meetings are held each term to discuss these strategies, informed by the tracking data from Sisra. It enables the school to identify problem areas, forecast potential challenges, and implement proactive strategies to tackle these issues.
To fully leverage the potential of the platform, All Hallows has implemented an effective administration strategy and fostered staff buy-in. Continual professional development and clear communication within the school ensure that the data is used effectively and impactfully.
