About the Data Dashboard

How to access the Data Dashboard

If you are an Age of Wonder school and have taken part in our data collection , you will have been provided with your own data dashboard. Please get in touch with your AoW contact or ageofwonder@bthft.nhs.uk to be sent your personalised link.

 

Data Dashboard Webinar

In September 2024, our Principal Data Scientist held a webinar for our Age of Wonder schools to introduce the dashboard and explain how it can be used within the school. If you missed the session or would like to have a refresher, please click here to access the recording.

How is the DDB being used by schools?

  • Creating systematic change within the school
  • Adapting lesson plans around the data
  • Spreading awareness about the key topics to all staff within the schools

 

Testimonies from school leads using our dashboard to make changes:

“We used the data to help plan the assembly calendar based on the needs of our students. For example, mental health and social media assemblies were needed” – Member of SLT

“We have compared data and looked at trends across the same year group as they move up the school [year]” – Assistant headteacher

“We are only in the first year of engaging with BIB … I can only see the functionality of this dashboard improving the more data we have” – Member of SLT

“We use the data to support our rational for ‘focus’ sessions where we target key elements such as anxiety and healthy lifestyles identified in this data as areas we need to address”

“We used the data to help plan the assembly calendar based on the needs of our students. For example, mental health and social media assemblies were needed” – Assistant principle

“The data dashboard is easy to navigate. They noticed that some of the mental health is poorer in their school compared to both the other AOW schools and the national average. They are now looking into ways to improve this now they know the extent of the issue” – Assistant Principle from a BD2 school

“We used the data in SLT meetings and will use the information to shape our contextual information for 2025-2026, our impact evidence and also our improvement planning for next year. We also use it to shape the PD [personal development] programme” – Assistant headteacher

“I have used the data to compare the school averages against Bradford as a whole. This was helpful in a recent inspection where I used the data to show the impact of our PD [personal development] curriculum and behaviour curriculum” – VP for Personal Development

“I have used the dashboard to compare multiple different characteristics both within a specific year group of students as they have moved up the school year-on-year with the data, as well as comparing different year groups within a specific year’s data set. This information was then used to inform decisions around Personal Development lessons focus given to the students, as well as themes given via year group assemblies. This information has been presented to our Senior Leadership Team as well” – Head of year 8

“We analysed the results for our students and compared these to Bradford/National statistics. This really helped us to interrogate where we are as a school, for example regarding rates of bullying. We contacted BIB to discuss bullying statistics in more depth and this conversation was really useful. We then used the data as part of a presentation to the leadership team, to governors and it was also referenced in our OFSTED inspection in Dec 2024” – Deputy headteacher

“Using the dashboard in addition to their own data to get a picture of what they need to focus on. One key finding is that their students enjoy school more than other Bradford schools and nationally. Therefore, they are confident that the strategies they have in place are working to provide a safe environment for the students. They have started developing new strategies for the areas that have been identified as needing more support such as promoting positive mental health, eating breakfast and reducing vaping“ – Principle from a BD4 school

Strategic decisions or operational changes made by AoW schools

Assemblies that form part of the whole school Personal Development programme were adapted and included as a result of the data.

 

It has informed our approach to bullying, for example. Overall, we found our statistics in relation to the wider locality were reassuring but it was useful to be able to drill down to individual year groups.

 

Outcomes from the results have led to year group assemblies/personal development lessons being used to respond to the data which was collected.
