Using Data Intelligently to Support Vulnerable Pupils Across a Trust

Across schools and trusts, leaders are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the impact of their work with vulnerable pupils, from SEND and disadvantaged learners to those with safeguarding or attendance concerns. Yet fragmented systems and inconsistent definitions often make early intervention difficult.

This practical, discussion-based workshop explores how school and trust leaders can build a culture of vigilance and intelligent use of data to ensure no child falls through the cracks. Delegates will examine approaches to unifying information from multiple systems, establishing shared definitions of vulnerability, and creating consistent, board-level reporting. The session will focus on strategy, culture and impact, demonstrating how forward-thinking data practice helps leaders move beyond compliance towards genuine equity and improvement for all pupils.
