Helping schools make sense of their data

Sig+ is the complete school data company. Our services will equip you with the knowledge, skills and systems required to make the best use of your data and to take your school to the next level. Our aim is to help you understand your school’s data better than anyone else and to ensure there are no surprises.

Sig+ helped us to move our school to good (Ofsted 2015). They have expert and detailed knowledge of the challenges schools are currently facing with assessment and accountability. Sig+ spent time listening to the school’s issues, analysing data with school leaders and reviewing our current systems so that we were able to build a clear and concise picture of improvement to present to Ofsted and governors.
