Let’s ensure that every decision is informed, strategic, and contributes to the overall success of your MAT.

Understanding the Dynamics:

MATs operate within a dynamic and often complex environment, across multiple local authorities and regions, often with numerous legacy data systems. My expertise lies in deciphering the intricate web of MAT data, comprehending the nuanced relationships between academies, and recognising the interconnectedness of various elements within the trust.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for MAT Success:

Understanding the strategic priorities of your MAT is essential to identify and measure the KPIs that truly matter. Whether it’s academic achievement, financial sustainability, or operational efficiency, I collaborate with MATs to establish and monitor KPIs that provide meaningful insights. These indicators serve as benchmarks for success, allowing your trust to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate achievements.

I empower MATs to harness the full potential of their data, leveraging it to make strategic choices that positively impact the entire trust.

The "One-Page Wonder"

The way data is made available by some organisations often falls short of meeting the unique needs of MATs. It can leave them scrolling through individual school pages, wading through a sea of reports and drowning in data. They yearn for a single page – a concise, visually appealing dashboard, often with school level data, where all the vital KPIs converge, empowering leaders to make data-driven decisions with ease. A One-Page Wonder

By harnessing the power of Power BI, we can create an intuitive and interactive dashboard that puts all the critical information at your fingertips:

  • Stay up-to-date with attendance rates, academic performance, financial indicators, and more!
  • Get a holistic snapshot of your MAT’s performance in one centralised space. No more scrolling through endless reports!
  • Tailor the dashboard to suit your needs with Power BI’s powerful features like slicers, tooltips, and interactive visualisations. Dive deeper into the data and gain valuable insights.
