SEQUEL

Supporting greater efficiency and improving school performance

Authorities work hard to ensure schools are providing the highest possible standard of education so that children in their area are given every opportunity to reach their full potential.

One SEQUEL can help by giving authority staff quick access to school census data and vital headline summary information relating to a school’s performance. This key data will make it easier for authorities to keep a close eye on how well schools are doing and support school leaders in ensuring effective self-evaluation.

Instant view of school performance

Authorities can view a variety of information on individual schools or clusters and quickly compare their performance with each other or against national statistics.Web-based graphs make it easier for authorities to track and monitor how schools are doing and save time for authority staff by reducing the administrative burden associated with producing and distributing paper-based analysis reports to schools and departments across the authority.

Support schools in effective self-evaluation

Assessment data for individual schools can be displayed on a simple bar chart, highlighting areas of the curriculum which might benefit from a new teaching approach or additional learning support, enabling school leaders to address issues quickly. The system allows headteachers to see how their school is performing against similar schools in the region and this information can be used to inform more effective self-evaluation in readiness for Ofsted inspections.

Improving schools across the authority

Tracking and monitoring school improvement across the authority becomes a much simpler task with SEQUEL. For example, authority staff can quickly see whether children from low-income families in the area are meeting targets in Mathematics. This data enables authorities to target their services and support more effectively and measure the success of any strategies put in place to raise achievement.
