NEWSLETTER #82

We're always looking to make EAZMAG more compatible with other systems and currently link with all of the major Management Information Systems (MIS) through a WONDE link which allows schools transfer pupils and factors from their MIS into EAZ MAG.

However, we're currently piloting a system where schools can export data directly from EAZ MAG into an MIS, specifically Arbor in the first instance, but with BROMCOM next on the list.

So from a trust point of view, schools can enjoy all the time saving benefits of EAZ MAG, but receive all the trust level data directly into Arbor automatically. If you're interested in taking part in the pilot programme for this feature, we'd love to hear from you.

The EAZ MAG trust version continues to develop based on feedback from trust leaders. The system provides an overview of data from all trust schools in real time and we've recently added the Assessment Milestones and Factors Visual Map reports to the reporting section by popular demand. Please let us know of any other developments that are needed.

To compare the attainment data of all the schools in a trust, the EAZ MAG system has the ability to compare attainment in terms of summative, MTC and Phonic assessments in graphical form.

Simply select Reports > School Comparisons and input the relevant subject, term and year group, then click 'show report' from the 'report options' button. An individual bar is displayed for each school, but to display the individual pupil level data, click on the column header of the bar.

Who doesn't love a matrix? And the Visual Map, or as it is often called ‘the pink and greys', is possibly more relevant today than ever. It presents a concise matrix of class/year group attainment data compared to a previous assessment; commonly end of EYFS or KS1 results.

In this way schools can easily identify and target underachieving pupils and quickly put a catch-up intervention in place. In this example you can clearly see the pupils at expected in KS1 who are now assessed at WTS. It's an ideal report for pupil progress meetings and can have a significant impact on improving attainment across the trust. It's available in the Primary and EYFS systems in Reports.

And finally, check out our latest offer: If your trust is currently with another provider but want to switch to EAZ MAG, we'll set your systems up, you can use them immediately and you'll pay nothing until your existing contract expires (up to one year/terms and conditions apply).

Our substantial trust discounts will also still apply.
