What is Bromcom Live Benchmarking?
Standard benchmarking for important areas such as Attendance and KS2/4 Performance are generally provided in Bromcom using the latest national data where available. Bromcom has introduced its own version of benchmarking which works on a simple process of schools giving consent for us to periodically upload their data in anonymised format. This provides a set of data which is as up to date as it can be, either termly or weekly according to the respective dashboard selected.
For example, with Attendance the existing Bromcom dashboard allows a school to review its data in a weekly timeline. Bromcom can now populate this data with an added comparison based on a range of subsets derived from Bromcom’s consenting schools: National, Regional, Local Authority and finally Intake type, which allows Comprehensives, Religious Schools etcetera to be compared as a subset for comparison.
Key Features
- Automatically available once school consent is granted

- Instant results with no need to transfer data
- Simple to compare data against selected benchmark
