We’re delighted to be recognised as “Ones to Note” in this year’s Edtech50 yearbook from The Education Foundation 🙌

Our inclusion stems from the “oCloud” suite of tools we develop and its impact on the ground, helping staff improve student outcomes. Our yearbook entry notes:

The Software and Data Team of OGAT have developed software, (oCloud) that has changed how easily the Trust can track and monitor students, ensuring accurate and timely interventions and reducing staff workload alongside.

Launched in 2013, oCloud was initially conceived to streamline periodic academic data collection across our schools. The platform has since evolved into a suite of tools used across the Trust that delivers:

  • Progress and attainment tracking
  • Behaviour tracking and sanction management
  • Intervention tracking
  • Data analysis tools, including trust-wide reporting and analytics

Developing an in-house solution has provided tools tailored to our specific needs and requirements, fully aligned with school policies and workflows.

Thanks to The Education Foundation and Amazon AWS for a fantastic awards event celebrating education technology in the UK.
