School Data Reports for Governors & Trustees

Teacher with parents and child in a school or trust.

Governors and trustees can only hold leaders to account if they understand the data, but school data is often presented in ways that are hard to follow, or that tell a rosier story than reality. We produce clear, honest data reports for your board, so your governors and trustees can scrutinise with confidence.

Below, we explain what our data reports for governors involve, and how they help your board govern well.

What Is School Data Reports for Governors & Trustees?

It’s a clear, independent data report written for a governance audience. We take your school’s data and present it honestly and accessibly, with the context and questions governors need to hold leaders to account, rather than a wall of numbers or a selective picture.

We focus on giving your board an honest, understandable view, so governance is informed by reality, not spin.

Who Is It For?

It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. Governing boards, trust boards, and clerks use it to understand school performance and govern effectively.

Many schools and trusts ask for it to strengthen governance, give the board an independent view, or help governors scrutinise data with confidence.
