“4Matrix is a very sophisticated and well-developed tool for examining “Within School Variation” (WSV). It’s been well known for some time that a high level of WSV - performance differences between subject areas - is highly damaging, and yet is often difficult to pin down. 4Matrix provides hard evidence that’s proof against myths and misconceptions .”
- Gerald Haigh, Author : TES, The Guardian, and the National College
"4Matrix is a brilliant product.
It has helped take the sweat out of working with student data and its level of interactivity is superb.
We have been able to research differences between comparative performance for student groupings of our choice in a way that our school's information management system simply can't. The use of 4Matrix has helped us plan coherent change to make a difference to teaching and learning and hence standards"

“4Matrix is indispensable to us and I am delighted with the features of the new version. We use it extensively year on year – when the head asks for residual levels for teaching groups – I create it all from 4Matrix. When teachers ask for their performance sheets (especially for past years for their CPD) it is all there in 4Matrix.”

"We have 22% EAL with 16 different languages spoken within the school. 4Matrix has enabled me to analyse the performance of these different groups in seconds, making the use of my time more effective.
In our recent Ofsted visit 4Matrix enabled the school to show how it used data effectively. Ofsted were very impressed with the adaptability of 4Matrix, and its ability to analyse different groups within the school e.g. Able and Talented, SEN, EAL, Gender,etc. "
- Steve Griffiths, Deputy Headteacher, Longton High School, Stoke-on-Trent
"We ran the 4Matrix software using the mock grades as
predictors and it was highly effective in predicting where
interventions needed to take place on a department and individual
student level. 4Matrix is a simple, easy to use and very
powerful tool in identifying Within School Variation. It is
rocket fuel for the self-evaluating school."
-Tom Cassidy, Vice Principal (Assessment),
Paddington Academy
"Wow! We have been
bowled over by the power
of the data and the information
4Matrix has given us just
in the first few hours
today. My data manager
was so impressed that he
insisted on taking over
the first part of our meeting
this evening with a presentation
of what 4Matrix told us
about our data. I only
gave it to him at 11.30
this morning! All my team
who saw it immediately
realised its potential
and were asking probing
questions about pupil performance.
We have had a changing
profile of pupils in recent
years which has affected
our traditionally high
percentage of A*-C grades.
Your software has enabled
us to “tell a different
story” just in the
first few hours of using
it. We will be able to
target our attention much
more precisely as a result
of 4Matrix. Thank you and
congratulations on a superb
school improvement tool."

Headteacher,

“One
Head of
Department
referred
to 4Matrix
as ' the
most useful
diagnostic
tool I
have come
across
in my career'. The
comment
was greeted
by a nodding
of heads
all around
the room.
The governors
accepted
the (4Matrix)
reports
without
question.
All the
answers
to their
questions
were obviously
there.
They usually
ask questions
about percentages
of A's
and B's
etc but
the software
took their
thinking
on to higher
levels
- now that
IS impressive."
