What is 4Matrix?
4Matrix is a high impact, highly affordable performance data system designed for data-confident, self-evaluating secondary schools. 4Matrix is a powerful, database-driven, networked application that can be used across a school by all teachers. Teachers can use 4Matrix as a powerful research tool without needing to be statisticians.

Why does our school need it?
If you wish to do much more with the data in your Management Information System (MIS) then this is the most powerful system available to manage the performance of pupil across subjects at key stage 4. If you would like your teachers to be knowledge-driven rather than data-driven, then this is the professional system that you will need.  
4Matrix provides a unique, knowledge-driven approach to self-evaluation and school improvement.  

Why does 4Matrix do?
4Matrix will easily import data from any MIS or from spreadsheets. 4Matrix goes much further than just producing graphs. It will automatically analyse and produce all your critical reports in minutes with reference to RAISEonline and FFT comparative data.
4Matrix provides a range of specialised tools to produce automated reports on the performance of every subject and teaching group and the progress of current pupils in years 10 and 11. It will track progress towards targets. It will identify critical intervention groups, and it will forecast next year's headline results using fine grade accuracy.

How can 4Matrix help schools support effective teaching?
4Matrix will allow teachers to investigate learning effectiveness across their classes through an action-research approach. Teachers can produce essential reports on the impact of their teaching to support Performance Management and Ofsted inspection preparation. 4Matrix will provide quantitative evidence to show the effect if intervention on the performance of selected groups of pupils.

How can 4Matrix help to raise standards?
Many schools are already using 4Matrix to take greater control over their inspection.
We have created a modular training/consultancy programme, based on this system, that has already helped school leaders achieve an outstanding leadership grading from Ofsted.  Systemic Knowledge-Driven Leadership is a new and proven approach to leadership development in the use of performance data.

How can our school get started with 4Matrix?
Getting started is simple. Senior school staff can order a free four-week trial of 4Matrix using our form from this link. 4Matrix is easily installed on a server - or stand alone PC for evaluation purposes. We can even provide a demonstration school database. 4Matrix is affordable should you decide to adopt it after the trial period - which most schools do.
