Question Level Analysis

The Tool You Can’t Afford to Miss.

Often called a “magic bullet”, QLA doesn’t just show you scores — it reveals the why behind them. By breaking data down into topics and cohorts, it uncovers powerful patterns and trends you simply won’t see from raw answers alone.

• Spot hidden gaps
• Identify strengths
• Take action where it counts

The real strength of QLA is in evidence‑based decision‑making. Schools using QLA can implement focused strategies that improve teaching quality, raise performance, and transform outcomes across entire year groups.

DAISI Education QLA

Using raw DfE data, we’ve built tools that give schools immediate, meaningful insight — revealing patterns by topic, cohort, and more. For over 12 years, schools have trusted QLA Results (KS2 SATS) with QLA Transition (Secondary) and QLA Mock SATs added to support progress.

Our reports do the heavy lifting: clear statements, powerful graphs, and intuitive charts that show exactly why results look the way they do — and where to act next. And the impact is proven: 80% of schools who used our Question Level Analysis consistently saw increased attainment.

How QLA can help your school?

Most schools are sitting on powerful insights from their KS2 SATs results… but without the right analysis, those insights never translate into improvement. Analysing your Assessment Data in this forensic way can make a real difference

🎯 Identify Strengths & Weaknesses Across Your School

Your SATs results reveal exactly where pupils shine — and where they’re struggling. Whether it’s a strong Reading cohort or a clear gap in Maths reasoning, our analysis pinpoints the specific areas holding your school back. This means you can set highly targeted, achievable improvement goals using the 1% principle, turning small adjustments into major gains.

📚 Make Curriculum Adjustments That Actually Move the Needle

When entire cohorts show consistent gaps, it’s not a pupil issue — it’s a curriculum or teaching strategy issue. Evaluate the effectiveness of teaching methods and make informed decisions about curriculum changes. Our analysis gives you the hard evidence you need to refine teaching approaches, close gaps faster, and make confident changes that deliver results.

🎯 Target Interventions With Precision

Develop targeted interventions for students or cohorts in the future who need additional support. Our individual pupil profiles highlight exactly where each learner needs support, making personalised learning plans straightforward and effective for future cohorts.

👩‍🏫 Strengthen Staff CPD With Evidence Teachers Can Trust

High‑quality CPD starts with clear, accurate data. We identify the areas where teaching strategies need strengthening, so your CPD becomes focused, actionable and impactful — driving school‑wide improvement and building a culture of continuous learning.

🏆 Create Clear Evidence of Improvement for Ofsted

Incremental improvements matter — especially to Ofsted. By applying the 1% principle to teaching, learning and assessment, your school shows ongoing, measurable progress that aligns directly with Ofsted expectations. Our analysis gives you the documentation and clarity you need for confident, evidence‑led discussions.

📈 Transform Your School Development Plan

School improvement doesn’t happen by accident. By embedding these insights into your School Development Plan, you build long‑term, whole‑school progress — not just isolated classroom wins. Small, informed changes compound into significant, measurable results.

For senior leaders, QLA provides far more than surface‑level numbers. It delivers the depth, clarity, and contextual insight needed to support rigorous self‑evaluation, curriculum monitoring, and strategic decision‑making.
