Unlock the Full Story Behind Your KS2 SATs Results

Our Question Level Analysis helps schools move from simply reporting outcomes to understanding the story behind them. By analysing trends across topics, cohorts and curriculum areas, we reveal the patterns that matter most and highlight the opportunities your school may be missing.

Because inspectors don’t just want to know what happened. They want to know Why it happened, What you’ve learned from it, What you’ve done in response and How you know it’s making a difference.

“We find the Question Level Analysis from DAISI invaluable at Seely Primary and Nursery School. In my role as deputy headteacher of a big school as well as assessment coordinator, there is no way I would have the time or capacity to complete QLA to the level and in the detail that the DAISI team do. They saved me days of work and the information this gives me allows us to develop whole school targets that we can show improved the attainment of our pupils.“

Deputy Headteacher, Nottingham

Trusted Evidence – Proven Impact

It’s one thing to say:

“We’ve introduced additional support for reading inference.”

It’s another to say:

“Our KS2 Reading SATs QLA revealed that pupils were consistently underperforming on inference-based questions. In response, we reviewed our reading curriculum, introduced more explicit teaching of inference skills and provided staff training focused on questioning techniques. Ongoing assessment is now showing improved confidence and performance in this area.”

That’s the difference between activity and evidence.

Schools constantly see measurable improvements in attainment, teaching quality and strategic decision‑making through our insight. And because our analysis has been used by schools for over a decade, the results are proven.

80% of schools who consistently used our analysis consistently over three years have seen improved attainment.

A Full Summary

A clear starting point – focussing in on the headlines and points for you to focus on as the deeper analysis continues. For example, did you know that 85% of the total possible marks usually come from a small number of topics?

Topic Insight

We divide up the questions into bespoke Topics. Deep Dive into each subject to see where teaching could be improved and implement changes to your curriculum. Even small changes can significantly improve school results.

Question Type

Is there one particular question type which is a problem to your pupils? Update your curriculum to include more practice and instruction in areas where pupils struggle or more challenge in areas where pupils excel.

Analysis of every Cohort

We break the results down into your various cohorts – gender, disadvantaged, SEN, EAL and more. Focus on different cohorts across your school to find areas where you can make changes that could make a substantial difference.

Individual Pupil Profiles

Our pupil profiles allow you to see where marks were lost and gained and provide detailed evidence to guide your search for improvements across the school.

What have Schools Said about QLA Results?

• How DAISI drove our Trust Data Improvement
• How DAISI helped my School to Improve

“Fantastic and so simple to use. In addition, it would have taken us an inordinate length of time to produce anything quite like it… Thank you! In Ofsted speak Outstanding Best Value!!!”

Broadway Junior School, Sunderland

“I just wanted to say thank you for turning around the DAISI reports so quickly – it’s very much appreciated. Subject leaders and Raising Standards Leaders in each primary school are going to be able to use this information to inform teaching and learning opportunities , not just in Year 6, but across the school.  I’m sure they will be key in informing the focus areas for this year’s improvement plans.”

Peterborough Keys Trust

“DAISI SATs QLA is a wonderful product. It has not only saved me a lot of time but is clear and easy to understand. It is a resource I will share with our governors. I have also recommended it to other headteachers.”

Headteacher, The Butterwick Pinchbeck’s Endowed CofE Primary School

“After showing our Executive Headteacher the quality of the analysis you have provided, she has asked me to let you know how impressed we are with the analysis, including the speed we received it. We really appreciate the program you have developed to do this for our benefit. We could never have achieved the same depth of analysis with the equivalent cost of staff time.“

Assistant Headteacher, Gleadless Primary School, Sheffield

“I think they are a great tool and really help us to analyse our data in great detail. I have been telling everyone how good they are & how they have saved hours of work. This has allowed me to focus on how we can improve teaching and learning rather than spending time on the data analysis – a very welcome change.”

Headteacher, Captain Cook Primary School, Middlesbrough (James Cook Learning Trust)
