The world’s first whole child approach to school improvement linking emotion, numeracy, literacy and learning and integrating information from the pupil, teacher and parent.
The Schools Profiler
Is a modular online application that can be quickly up and running in your school or across a group or cluster of schools
Provides pupil centred solutions by delivering age appropriate assessments, advice and support for those in school, helping every student to achieve their potential.
Provides schools with a means to make Data Driven Decisions, based on accurate and up to date information.
Saves time- no data entry, no marking. Instant results with instant guidance, all analysed for you, for the student, the class teacher, SENCO, or head teacher.
The Benefits
At an individual level, specific reports on each student, targeting where support is needed and guidance on how to do so.
At a class level, guidance how to group students with similar needs, and guidance on delivering the support.
At a school level (or across a geographic area), providing in-depth analysis of multiple data sets to track progress class to class, year to year.
At a local authority, regional and national level, The Schools Profiler can draw all the information (data) together and provide valuable insights and analytics for planning and interventions, in an instant, efficient and cost-effective way.
What it can do for you:
Help manage the transition between primary and secondary school.
Identify strengths and weaknesses of students.
Help smooth the pathway and transition from primary to secondary school and beyond.
Measure a student's knowledge and understanding of literacy and numeracy and consider their emotional wellbeing.
Map the level of study skills in secondary school at different ages and stages to target support.
Screen for Specific Learning Difficulties e.g. reading, social, attention and communication challenges. Gathering and comparing information from multiple view-points e.g. parent/teacher and student.
Provide feedback and guidance to parents, students and teachers in an appropriate manner.
Group student skills in order to assist with classroom lessons and pedagogic planning and delivery of support.
Track and monitor progress and wellbeing, measuring distance travelled at individual, class, school and authority level.
Provide high-level, aggregated data providing with an overview of literacy, numeracy, and emotional well-being within a class or across a school (It can even do the same for any number of schools or across education sites or local authorities). This provides the means for data driven decision making to take place.
Drill down information at a question by question/assessment level including timing and responses from individuals to allow for truly person- centred planning to take place.

Latest Technological Advances
Working with top computer scientists using the latest technological advances, they have moved on from traditional assessment approaches which only look at aspects in a linear fashion to develop individualised and contextualised assessment approaches, integrating information from multiple sources to provide truly personalised plans and guidance.
Why the Schools Profiler is Unique
Linear assessments often assess in isolation one aspect of learning and do not take into context the environment the individual is learning or living in. e.g. someone with no transport may have the skills for a job, but not the means of getting to it. Another example is a student living in poor housing may have nowhere to study, and this is the reason they are failing despite adequate skills. The ability to integrate information from multiple sources means that a true picture of functioning and skills can be achieved.
Some assessments currently take a global view of a skill, e.g. look at numeracy as a whole, without analysing where the skills are lacking and to ensure the assessment is truly testing what it is supposed to. E.g. if a maths assessment requires reading to complete it, then if someone has reading difficulties, this could lead to poor scores because of a lack of comprehension. The Profiler enables the assessment to focus on the actual task in hand.
