The simplest, quickest way to gather assessment data from schools

Maintaining a close working partnership with schools helps to support greater achievement across the school population. One PULSE provides a secure and efficient way for schools and authorities to share assessment data. The impact of initiatives and programmes can be reviewed and joint decisions made on what works most effectively.

The capability to analyse attainment or value added data in more detail at individual or school level using One PULSE helps identify successful strategies which can be replicated in other schools or areas within the authority.

The software also enables quicker analysis of performance against authority targets and national benchmarks, as well as the ability to collate Foundation Stage Profile and Key Stage 1 statutory returns at the touch of a button.
