We use the same live data to provide LAs
and Schools with similar dashboards to
Ofsted but based on LIVE, early data
Works for EYFSP, Phonics, KS1, KS2 and
KS3. LAs can choose when to switch on
and make visible to schools
LAs can choose which data sets to make
visible and whether to include contextual
comparisons
Schools see the same data as the Local
Authority but inside Perspective or
Perspective Lite
Option to print to PDF – report looks same
as on screen!
