We provide skilled, professional and experienced Data Managers who will guarantee efficient and timely completion of essential tasks such as assessment, census and exam results analysis via secure remote connections to your network.
Our team of Data Managers has already provided support to schools, academies and trusts utilising Arbor, Bromcom or SIMS MIS. They possess extensive experience of DfE sites such as Collect, S2S, GIAP, and GIAS, as well as major third-party applications including SISRA, FFT, Go 4 Schools, 4 Matrix, and GL Assessment.
Your Data Manager is backed by School ICT’s wider MIS support team, so specialist help across Arbor, Bromcom and SIMS is on hand whenever a query goes beyond the data.
Our Data Managers have worked in schools. They understand statutory deadlines, results periods and leadership reporting, and the story behind the numbers.
A named Data Manager backed by a wider team, so knowledge stays with your school through absence, vacancies and change.
Experienced capacity without the salary, recruitment and management overheads of an additional post. Scale support up or down through the year.
Raise requests, track progress and access resources that support the use of your MIS.
Regular scheduled meetings with your Data Manager and planned service reviews, so you always know what is coming and where things stand.
Term-time working with monthly, termly or yearly contracts, and remote, onsite or blended delivery.
One-to-one support for your own data lead: regular sessions with a named mentor, working on live priorities to build confidence and capability.
Every service begins with an MIS Operational Health Review: a detailed look at your data and processes, with a report and recommendations.
Data Management sits alongside our Enhanced MIS Support and Assurance service and MIS Specialist Top-Up Support. Many schools combine them, so the team looking after your data is the same team supporting your MIS.
”We began using the Remote Data Management service from School ICT in August 2023, during a challenging time when our Data Manager went on maternity leave and we faced difficulties in recruiting a replacement. Initially, I had reservations about how a remote service would work, particularly in terms of building a relationship and replicating the ease of in-person support.
However, those concerns were quickly put to rest. From the very beginning I connected with my Lead Data Manager. We met daily in the early days to build trust and confidence in each other. As someone new to the role I found our Lead Data Manager to be extremely patient, supportive and understanding. They took the time to explain everything to me and are always quick to respond whenever I needed to ask questions or access reports.
Communication has been seamless. Always just an email away, and if a task can’t be completed immediately, a realistic timeframe is provided. The responsiveness and willingness to jump on an online meeting whenever necessary makes working with School ICT feel no different from working with someone physically present in the school.Their knowledge and expertise in managing school data has been invaluable, especially as I entered this role with limited experience. Over the past year, the support they have provided has been crucial to my professional development. We’ve built such a strong team dynamic that I never hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification.

School ICT has assisted me with all aspects of data management, including GCSE and A-Level results analysis, census, report generation, Head’s Report data analysis, departmental data analysis, and timetabling. Their support extends across various platforms like Sisra, FFT, ALPS, Applicaa, Arbor, and Pupil Progress.
I cannot recommend the service provided by School ICT highly enough. It has been like having a Data Manager in the office next door, even though our interactions are virtual. Their expertise, responsiveness, and support have exceeded all expectations.
”I have had the pleasure of working with the School ICT Data Management Team as a replacement for the data manager for my school, and I can confidently say they are the best data managers I have ever worked with. Their exceptional efficiency and attention to detail has greatly benefited our institution. They consistently ensure that all data-related tasks are handled with precision and promptness and their deep knowledge of data management, combined with their proactive and professional approach, has made a significant positive impact on our operations. I can always count on School ICT to provide insightful solutions and handle complex tasks with ease. They are an invaluable asset to our team, and I highly recommend their services.

Thank you for your outstanding work!
”We’ve been working with School ICT since January 2024, and they have been a revelation. The professionalism, quality and overall seamless communication has been there from the start. Andy, our Virtual Data Manager, is always on hand to support with all our data needs. From assessment point reports, target setting and the Census, this is just the tip of the iceberg, they can do everything. It’s like having someone in school as he responds so quickly and always finds solutions to what we need. The “Helpdesk Ticket System” creates a clear transparent pathway from the start of a request to the end and keep us informed of the progress of each request. Highly recommend School ICT.

”We began working with our remote Data Manager in June 2022, to oversee all data in our school, ranging from school reports, Data analysis for Heads of Department and SLT, GCSE and A Level results and analysis, and Census.
Although sceptical at first about how the relationship would work, my doubts were very quickly put to rest; I was surprised at how easy my Data Manager was to access from the start and working with my Data Manager remotely, is no different to working with a member of staff in the building. I always deal with the same person and have built up a great working relationship with her.
Our remote Data Manager has access to our school system and is always at the end of an email, phone call or Teams chat.
The team are friendly and professional – their subject knowledge is incredible and they are great with brainstorming ideas and solutions, from problems I present to them, to redesigning set-ups in school. My Data Manager has worked alongside me to further develop my skill set with regards to whole school data, which is great for the school and also my own CPD development.

”School ICTs Data Management service has provided our school with high-quality day-to-day management of core school student data, support to staff and data analysis.
They have seamlessly completed our School census but have ensured that school admin staff understand their role in the maintenance of student data.
The SLT, teaching and support staff are so impressed with the service being delivered and the advanced level of knowledge and expertise that it brings.
Nothing is too much trouble and our Data Manager has sorted out many of the issues that we had in our MIS that no one else could previously resolve!
The knowledge that the Data Manager has of our MIS and all its functionality is seriously impressive along with their knowledge of DFE/ESFA rules, regulations and policy changes.
It is like having a Data Manager in the office next door but just online, they respond promptly to emails, request for reports/data and are happy to arrange phone calls or Teams meetings as required.
I can highly recommend the service – give it a try!
