The introduction of Evaluate-ed has undoubtedly produced a significant number of benefits at both trust and academy level. The consistent reports ensure that information can be quickly assimilated with the opportunity to examine specific areas in more depth if greater scrutiny is required. The graphs allow for precise comparative judgements and present a coherent and concise overall picture of the trust’s position. This is valued by the Central Team and particularly Trustees in full board and committee meetings. It also helps the trust with the identification of best practice and pockets of excellence. This information can direct the deployment of suitable individuals to support at other academies where issues may have arisen. Similarly, where common challenges are unearthed, training can be quickly arranged and accurately targeted.
