Questa has been built specifically for data storage, retrieval and analysis. It turns the myriad of data sources into consistent visually displayed charts that can assist with identifying and understanding key insights. Each of the modules have Trust and school-level reports that are visually consistent across the modules – reducing the cognitive effort required to understand the reports.
We know that to have a truly holistic view of your Trust’s performance using a diverse array of data inputs is vital. With Questa, you can bring in not only educational type data but business type data such as HR and Finance too.
The data required for each of the modules can come from sources such as behaviour management systems, assessment tracking systems, lesson observation systems, HR and Finance MIS as well as individual school databases or Excel spreadsheets.
Questa has a core module of Attendance & Behaviour, then you can choose which add-on modules you want. Add-on modules can be added at a later date or the whole system can be designed for you straightaway.
Attendance & BehaviourWe know that attendance and behaviour are key metrics that you need to record and analyse, which is why this is our core module. With both Trust and school-level reports examining attendance and behaviour, you will be able to spot patterns and identify which actions need to be taken. In addition, Questa allows you to compare and benchmark your Trust and individual schools against national data.
We know that you want to have your finger on the pulse of your income and expenditure for the Trust as a whole and each individual school, which is why the finance module has reports that show categories as defined by the DfE as well as your own accounting.
Key data includes staff costs and financial efficiencies, which is all presented visually so that it can be easily shared with governors and trustees.
AssessmentThis module encompasses both Progress and Attainment data. This allows you to see the journey of each student’s learning and then their achievements in exams. This add-on module will help you to present data for current, predicted and target grades for each pupil as well as allowing you to compare across your schools and nationally. Being able to examine the data in this way allows you to spot progress or to make key interventions in a timely fashion, thus helping pupils to achieve their learning goals.
AchievementWe all know that education is about so much more than just passing exams. And we also know that you are finding meaningful ways to record non-academic accomplishments, whether through merit awards for taking part in wider school activities, positive behaviour points for working hard or merits that recognise achievement in personal development or living out the school values. Now you can bring together all those causes for celebration in each of your schools and identify how you are achieving your own goals of providing a well-rounded educational experience.
HREffective management of the people resources across the Trust is a key foundation for providing quality education for all pupils. The HR module pulls together information about staff turnover, absence and disciplinaries at each of your schools – all in one place. With everything you need at your fingertips in one place, the Trust is then able to identify where strategies are working well and where additional support should be focused.
