Advance Learning Partnership: A Multi-Academy Trust, where educational excellence meets next-level data analysis.
Introduction
In today’s complex and fast-paced educational landscape, especially within Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), accessing, analysing, and applying data is crucial. Advance Learning Partnership, a rapidly growing MAT with soon-to-be nine secondary schools, has partnered with Juniper Education to streamline data management across its network with MAT Dashboard from Sisra Analytics. The result? A transformative approach to how the trust interacts with and utilises educational data empowers teachers and data users.
The Challenge
Laura, the Director of Information Strategy at Advance Learning Partnership, said,
“In previous years, we had to go into every system and check the same data. Things like average point scores, performance indices, and other key performance indicators across different schools and subjects were all scattered. The approach was fragmented and time-consuming.”
The Solution: One Dashboard to Rule Them All
Advance Learning Partnership collaborated with Juniper Education to bring all their essential metrics into one easy-to-access dashboard.
“Having all the data in one place means we’re not logging into numerous different systems to get the same information,” Laura explains. “This consolidation of data systems has not only saved precious hours but has also simplified strategic planning.”
Results and Impact
Time Efficiency
“The amount of time saved has been phenomenal,” Laura says.
With the Juniper dashboard, the Trust can now focus on strategic priorities rather than data gathering.
“By the end of the first week, we had plans ready to hit the ground running for the new academic year.”
Strategic Data Analysis
For Advance Learning Partnership, data isn’t just about numbers but the next steps.
“It’s not about the data; it’s about what we’re going to do with it next,” Laura emphasises.
The MAT dashboard allows easy access to various metrics, enabling quicker decision-making processes, from the Trust level to individual schools.
Collaboration & Best Practices
“It’s all about learning from each other,” says Laura.
The MAT dashboard allows the trust to pinpoint areas of success and challenges, encouraging schools within the trust to share best practices and strategies.
“We also focus on prediction accuracy. If one school gets their predictions right, what can others learn from them?”
How Does This Affect Different Stakeholders?
- Trust Board: The board can now access more accurate, real-time data for strategic decision-making.
- Executive and Individual Head Teachers: They can now digest their own data before discussing broader MAT performance, fostering a more transparent environment.
- Teachers: Equipped with readily accessible data, teachers can focus on actionable steps to improve student performance.
- Governors: A unified data picture allows for more informed oversight and governance.
Conclusion
Laura concludes,
“Data is the baseline for our conversations, but then we need the story— why, and what next? With Juniper Education’s solution, we’ve taken a giant leap toward answering these questions more effectively.”
