Unlocking the Power of Data: Introducing AQA’s Data Insights

In today’s education landscape, data is more than just numbers — it’s the key to unlocking student potential, driving strategic decisions, and ensuring every learner thrives. That’s why AQA has launched Data Insights.

Replacing the legacy ERA tool and the MAT Power BI dashboard, Data Insights brings all your schools under one intuitive, scalable system. Built in collaboration with educators, it offers faster performance, deeper analytics, and a unified view of your trust’s exam data.

Why Data Insights?

Whether you're aligning qualifications across your schools or identifying targeted interventions, Data Insights delivers:

• Macro to Micro Analysis: View trust-wide trends or drill down to individual student performance.
• Enhanced Visualisation: Interactive graphs and tables make complex data easy to interpret.
• Benchmarking Tools: Compare your schools with “similar centres” based on demographics, region, and performance indicators.
• Secure Access: Robust verification ensures data is shared only with authorised MAT leaders.

Support for Senior Leaders

For senior leaders, Data Insights is more than a reporting tool — it’s a strategic asset. Here’s how it can support your role:

• Drive Trust-Wide Improvement: Identify subject areas or schools that are outperforming or underperforming and share best practices across the trust.
• Support Targeted Interventions: Drill down to question-level and student-level data to pinpoint learning gaps and tailor support strategies.
• Inform Curriculum Planning: Use historical and comparative data to evaluate the effectiveness of specifications and teaching approaches.
• Monitor Equity and Inclusion: Analyse performance across demographics to ensure all student groups are supported effectively.
• Prepare for Results Day: With early access options, SLT members can plan communications and interventions ahead of time.

Getting started

To access Data Insights, a senior leader must email AQA from a MAT domain, providing their name, role, and nominated data administrator. Once verified, your administrator can set up users, manage centre memberships, and configure access to personally identifiable information.
