Best Practice

Using your MIS effectively

Alex George explains how his school has used its management information system to tackle behaviour and raise attainment.

Falmouth is well-known for its harbour, beaches and heritage attractions. But hidden away from its tourist hotspots is a reality that includes high rates of seasonal unemployment and children that lack a sense of motivation to achieve. This could have a significant impact on progress at Falmouth School. However, it is a factor that we believe we have under close control. 

The key to improvement has been information. It has revealed our strengths and the areas where improvements were needed. Access to data has allowed us to monitor aspects of our school that previously would have been far too complex and time-consuming to undertake.
