Visit Beckmead Trust200 Hours Monthly Lost to Manual Data Analysis
The senior leadership team spent 200 hours every month buried in data queries. Student enrolments, attendance records, behavioural incidents, exam results—all scattered across SQL databases and Google Business Intelligence. All requiring manual analysis.
This wasn't optional. Ofsted compliance demands it. But it meant 12 senior leaders were spending their time extracting data instead of improving outcomes for students who desperately needed their attention. The team was drowning in admin when they should have been doing their actual jobs.
Natural Language Dashboard for Instant Data Access
We built a natural language dashboard that connects to all their data sources. No SQL knowledge required. No technical training. Just type a question in plain English:
"Show me attendance below 60% for year 10 students across six schools."
The system understands. Queries the databases. Generates visual analysis. In seconds. It works like a chatbot—anyone on the leadership team can use it. The data they need is finally accessible without hours of manual work.

Impact
Those 180 hours don't just vanish. They go back into what actually matters: improving teaching quality, supporting families, developing new programmes for students with complex needs, strategic planning, and direct work with vulnerable children. The data analysis still happens—it just doesn't consume the people who should be focused on education.
Hours Reclaimed
Leadership time redirected to student outcomes
Ofsted Compliance
All Ofsted requirements met but with massive reduction in effort
Data Accessibility
Data is now 100% accessible without technical skills
"Before this, I'd get requests from senior leaders needing attendance breakdowns or behaviour incident reports, and it would take me half a day to pull everything together. Now they just type what they need and get it themselves. The headteachers can finally focus on their schools instead of waiting on me for spreadsheets."
