Turn school data
into insights
teachers can act on.

Schools are drowning in data and starved of useful insight.
They don’t need more dashboards. Optic Data offers clarity for early intervention.

Piloting with schools and trusts across England

Optic is partnering with schools and multi-academy trusts to develop, refine and rigorously test the platform for wider adoption and impact at scale.

Schools collect more data than ever.
But it’s rarely connected.
Insight is hidden in complex dashboards.

Attendance, behaviour, assessment, safeguarding and pastoral information often sit across multiple systems.

That makes it hard for teachers and leaders to quickly see the full picture of a student, spot patterns early, and act with confidence.

Optic Data connects information from your existing school systems and translates it into clear, natural-language insights.

Data Identifying which pupils may need support

Instead of switching between platforms or interpreting complex dashboards, teachers and leaders can quickly understand which students may be at risk, where patterns are emerging, and where support may be needed — giving educators the insight to help them do what they do best: teach.

Identify highest-achieving pupils

We are building Optic alongside real schools and trusts, working with educators to make sure it solves the problems that matter most in practice.

    Designed for schools.

    Schools already hold valuable information about their students. The challenge is making that information visible, connected and useful in the moments when decisions need to be made.

    Optic Data is designed to help schools move from fragmented information to practical insight — and it’s being built in partnership with real schools and trusts across England.

    We are based in Manchester and our early development is being shaped through active pilots with schools and multi-academy trusts. That means Optic is being tested against real data, real workflows and real pressures — not built in isolation and shipped into schools.

    Our goal is simple: help teachers and leaders see what matters, earlier.

    The team
    Headteacher, Steven Worthington

    I really like the look of Optic Data – the graphs, the way it handles large amounts of data, and the ability to pull out trends and analysis over time. As a school leader, it can be frustrating trying to get meaningful exam data trends quickly, so the prospect of using a tool like this with our own data is really exciting. Any technology that can make our lives easier and help us understand our pupils more clearly is hugely valuable.
