Schools and MATs: easier access to MI

The Management Information System (MIS) is core to running every school and Multi-Academy Trust. But getting data out in a format that’s useful and timely can be a challenge.

Working with a sector leading organisation, api.engine can now interrogate the MIS data in real time. That means any school leader can ask real-time questions of the data without having to struggle with standard reports, programming bespoke queries, or waiting for someone else to do it for them.

Having a natural language interface with your management data revolutionises how school staff can interact with – often opaque – information systems. School leaders can effortlessly generate detailed reports by simply asking questions in plain English – or in one of over 50 languages, if that’s easier for the user. This reduces the dependence on finding time with staff who have specialised technical skills, making data more accessible to all staff members, regardless of their technical background – freeing up specialist staff to add value on the most complex work and quality assurance. The ease of use ensures that data-driven decision-making becomes a seamless part of daily operations, fostering a more responsive and informed educational environment.

The ability to obtain real-time insights allows for more agile and proactive management. Teachers, core teams and school leaders can quickly identify trends, monitor student performance or behaviour, and allocate resources more effectively. This immediacy supports timely interventions and strategic planning, ultimately enabling everyone to focus on what matters: working with children and young people, and their families.
