If you're still looking, SISRA Observe is what people are moving to from BlueSky. It's much cheaper and looks/feels more intuitive.

If a target has been created using a spreadsheet, by definition, it is NOT a target. A target requires human involvement, else it is an estimate.

The primary where I'm a Governor uses Classroom Monitor with 2Simple, it's easy to use and to set up and I like the people we have dealt with at the company. Let us know how demo goes.

Not sure about the validity of that! I think it's just that more schools in the south use 4matrix and the north seem to be using SISRA Analytics. 4matrix have about 750 schools using it and SISRA have about 1400.

About 50% of the schools in Yorkshire and the Humber use SISRA Analytics, I think 4matrix is more widely used in the South and in London definitely. I'm sure another school would be happy for you to go in and see them both in action, that's a good way to find out.

I'm not attached to the school, the Head is a friend so I said I would post here on her behalf. They are a great team, anyone would be lucky to work with them as I have no doubt they will be supportive and encourage the right type of environment for the successful person to grow.

Yes I think that's a good estimate @mark80 - it's a brilliant opportunity to work with a fantastic school. I'm not attached to them, just offered to post it here.

Comparable to SLT - not appropriate to post here I don't think. If you want more information I can send over or talk to you about it?

SISRA is still using 2013 coeffs so all the VA figures will be out. DfE have totally changed their method (without warning anyone)!

This has been recommended to me by a data manager in Manchester: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/data-to-insight

There are known issues esp with the 5A*-C. Not sure when it will be resolved!
