Tool to help schools monitor pupil learning performance

NFER and Arbor are working in partnership to enable schools to benchmark their pupils' performance against other schools across the country.

Being able to track pupils’ performance and progression quickly can help leaders develop strategies to support pupils who are most in need, and often the most disadvantaged. It also means schools can hone in on areas of the curriculum which require more teaching.
 
Schools will save time as staff will gain access to overviews of their pupils’ data. MATs benefit from seeing Trust-wide assessment marks for every student, enabling them to benchmark their schools and identify schools and students which need extra support.
 
They will gain access to data including: Their school performance term-on-term, year-on-year, and pupil demographics, assessment marks for each pupil in the Trust, and custom reports including curriculum reports
 
The tool is available via a new partnership between NFER Tests and Arbor. It brings together NFER Test’s free online analysis tool for schools and Arbor’s Management Information System (MIS) for schools and Multi Academy Trusts (MATs).
 
Abby Coften, NFER’s Head of Product Marketing and Strategy, said: “We are delighted to be working with Arbor on our first partnership to connect Arbor’s MIS with the results of NFER Tests for schools and MATs. The Arbor and NFER Tests integration will provide support to Multi Academy Trusts and schools to gain the insights they need in one single view.
 
“At NFER, we understand the education landscape is constantly evolving, and we will be continuing to explore new ways to support schools and MATs using our tests to help improve pupil outcomes.”
