Seen a nice web filter form? Please share!

So I'll admit this isn't the most exciting of threads but I'm looking for some advice from the community at large.

 

I'm developing an in-house online analysis tool. All going great so far but now I'm about to add context filters to the results; things like Ethnicity, SEN, Pupil Premium etc. that staff can use to filter the analysis to their chosen focus group.

 

That's all fine, not a problem, but where you lot come in is that I need to design the layout for these filters in such a way as to be easy to use and completely non-intimidating.

 

I've already got a couple of ideas, first and foremost to hide the bulk of the options until required (by way of a slide in/out panel) but if anyone uses any similar system; not necessarily student analysis but some system that has a lot of filtering options; could you possibly share screenshots of ones you find intuitive and easy to use?

 

Thanks all!
