A grade says what happened. It doesn’t tell you why.
If your academic tracking stops there, you’re tracking the grade and not the learner.
SchoolWise shows who isn’t performing in line with their potential, then brings the academic pattern and the wider picture around that learner together – so your school can understand why, decide what needs to happen next and see whether it made a difference.













A low grade is not always the learner who needs your attention most
The learner with the lowest grade is not always the one furthest from where they should be. And the learner who looks like they are doing fine may be the one with the biggest gap between attainment and potential.
So instead of asking “Who got the lowest grade?” your school can ask “Who is not performing in line with their potential?”
SchoolWise makes that gap visible, helps you make better judgement calls and shows you where to look next.
One result can be noise.
A pattern tells you where to look.
A poor result in one subject can mean something very different from a drop across six.
One may point you towards the subject. The other may tell you to stop looking at the subject altogether.
A single dip may be nothing more than a bad assessment. A repeated decline tells you something has changed.
That is the value of the pattern. It starts to narrow the why.
But even the same pattern can mean one thing for one learner and something completely different for another.
Because academic performance does not sit on its own.
SchoolWise helps you move from the pattern to the learner behind it.
Performance can reveal a problem.
It doesn't always reveal the cause.
SchoolWise helps you move from a learner not reaching their potential to understanding what may actually be going on.
Is it one subject? Is performance down across several? Is it a pattern, or simply a blip? That starts to shape what kind of problem you are looking at.
But the answer rarely sits in the grades alone. The academic pattern can be the signal to something bigger.
Part of that story may sit with the care team. Part may be AEN or support already in place. Part may sit in notes, referrals, attendance, screening or what has already been recorded by the people working with the learner.
Without SchoolWise, you are left joining the dots — trying to work out what is really happening with the learner and what the school already knows.
Academic Tracking no longer sits in isolation. You see the performance in the context of the learner.
The flag tells you who. The Learner Profile helps you understand why.
Understanding why should change what happens next.
Once your school understands what is driving the performance, the response becomes much more focused.
The right people can be involved. A conversation can happen. Support can begin or change. An intervention can be put in place. Or your school can see that the right support is already underway and monitor whether it is changing the picture.
SchoolWise connects the why to the people and action that need to follow, so it does not stop at Academic Tracking.
Your school can move from recognising the issue to doing something meaningful with it – with the people around the learner already part of the response.
Understand the why. Bring in the right people. Act. Follow through.
Don’t just measure performance. Influence it.
Your school already has the assessment information. Your teachers and leaders already know their learners and bring the experience needed to interpret what they are seeing.
SchoolWise connects that knowledge with the academic picture.
Instead of stopping at the grade, your school can see who is not reaching their potential, understand the pattern, bring in the wider learner picture, decide what needs to happen next and see whether it made a difference.
That changes academic tracking from a record of performance into a way of understanding what is happening with the learner and doing something about it.
The value is not knowing the result sooner. It is helping the people around the learner understand what is really happening and respond in the way that learner actually needs.
Keep the assessment your school already trusts. Get more from what it tells you.
SchoolWise brings those results into the academic picture alongside learner potential and the wider context around the learner.
You are not asking your teachers to abandon how they assess. And SchoolWise is not replacing the judgement of the people who know the learner.
Keep the assessment process that already works for your school. SchoolWise gives you a stronger way to understand what those results mean for the learner.
How our academic tracking works
You upload the screening and assessment data already in your school to SchoolWise. This is a simple process that is seamlessly done without any double entry. We use your CAT4 screening data to set a baseline for each learner’s academic potential. For each exam you upload, we generate an attainment score. Using our advanced analysis and algorithms, we help you identify learners who are not reaching their academic potential and understand why.

Actionable Insights
Sucessfull academic monitoring and intervention
Our holistic approach to academic tracking ensures you don’t look at the data in isolation. SchoolWise helps you better understand the person and other factors why they are not performing to their potential. You can implement the necessary interventions to best support each learner in SchoolWise, monitor and track their progress all within the same workflow.

Questions schools ask about Academic Tracking
How does SchoolWise identify learners who are not reaching their potential?
SchoolWise compares a learner’s attainment with their potential, using assessment results alongside a cognitive baseline such as CAT4.
That changes the starting point from simply looking for low grades to identifying learners whose current performance is not in line with what the school might reasonably expect from them.
Does Academic Tracking only identify learners with low grades?
No.
A learner can have a relatively good grade and still be performing below their potential. Equally, a learner with a lower grade may actually be performing in line with their expected level.
SchoolWise helps the school look beyond the grade itself and focus attention on the learners whose performance needs to be understood more closely.
Can we see whether underperformance is in one subject or across a learner’s education?
Yes.
Once a learner is identified, SchoolWise lets the school investigate the pattern across their subjects and assessments.
You can see whether the issue appears in one subject, several subjects or more widely across their learning, and whether it looks like an isolated result, a repeated pattern or a change in direction.
How does CAT4 fit into SchoolWise Academic Tracking?
CAT4 can provide a baseline of a learner’s potential, while assessment information provides the picture of their current attainment.
SchoolWise brings those two sides together so the school can compare what a learner is achieving with what might reasonably be expected from them, rather than judging performance from grades alone.
Can SchoolWise help us understand why a learner’s performance has changed?
Yes.
SchoolWise helps you make better judgement calls and dig deeper to understand the Why behind a learner’s performance.
It helps the people who know the learner investigate the wider picture. Academic performance can be viewed alongside information such as attendance, learner support and AEN, screening, previous assessments, notes and other context already held around the learner.
The performance flag tells you who may need attention. The wider learner picture helps your school understand what may be happening around them.
What happens after Academic Tracking identifies a learner who needs attention?
Identification is only the starting point.
The school can investigate the pattern, bring in the wider learner context and decide who needs to be involved — whether that is a subject teacher, Year Head, AEN, Guidance, the care team or another member of staff.
From there, the school can monitor what happens and return to the learner’s performance to see what changed.
