-
Oversee Trust-wide baseline and assessment collection cycles (including CAT4, Y7-Y9 reading tracking, FFT20 targets, and secondary mock exam series) with robust moderation protocols.
-
Facilitate data-led "Round Tables" and "Coaching Walks" that translate complex metrics into clear, co-constructed school improvement strategies.
-
Establish and lead the Trust-wide Data & Insights Professional Network, delivering high-impact CPD for non-data specialist leaders across all 3 regions.
