4Matrix: School Performance Analytics

The challenge

School performance data is only useful when educators can turn it into a clear picture of what needs attention. For 4Matrix, the challenge was to bring information from different sources into a system that could support detailed analysis without becoming difficult to use. Teachers and school leaders needed to compare subjects and pupil groups, monitor key indicators and forecast performance. The platform also had to accommodate schools within trusts and chains, with appropriate access at each level.

The solution

The solution combines an ASP.NET Zero backend with .NET Core and an Angular interface. Its multi-tenant structure supports school and trust hierarchies, while dashboards and reporting tools make detailed performance information easier to explore.

Key features

• Structured access: Authentication and authorisation, with customised multi-tenancy to support trusts, school chains and subtenants.
• Connected data: Integration of diverse data sources, supported by a .NET Core backend designed for growing data volumes.
• Interactive analysis: Angular dashboards and charting tools for comparing subjects, pupil groups, teaching effectiveness and school KPIs.
• Forecasting & reporting: Tools to analyse trends, forecast performance and present information in a form that supports school decisions.

Business value

A clearer view of school performance, giving educators tools to identify gaps, monitor teaching impact and plan targeted action.
