REPORTING AND ADMINISTRATION

See What Is Happening.Find What Needs Attention.

School data is only useful when people can understand it and act on it. EdiWay brings reporting and everyday administration closer to the records already being maintained across attendance, assessment, behaviour, SEND, workforce, operations and the wider learner journey. Create reports. Review dashboards. Search records. Export authorised information. Check data quality. Complete routine administration. Without building another disconnected reporting database.

CONNECTED REPORTING

Report From the Record.Keep the Source of Truth Intact.

EdiWay reporting works across information held within connected school workflows. That can include appropriate information from areas such as:

Learners

Use authorised learner-record information.

Attendance

Review attendance information from the canonical attendance workflow.

Assessment

Use approved assessment and progress information.

Behaviour

Understand appropriate behaviour and achievement trends.

SEND

Report from authorised SEND information.

Workforce

Review suitable staffing information.

Operations

Use relevant school operational information.

Family Engagement

Understand appropriate communication and engagement activity. Reporting reads from these workflows. It should not create competing versions of the same underlying records.

SCHOOL REPORTS

Build the ReportAround the Question You Need to Answer.

EdiWay supports school reporting through approved report modules and controlled report definitions. Authorised users can work with appropriate:

Report Areas

Choose the school information relevant to the report.

Measures

Use approved measures from the selected workflow.

Fields

Include authorised detail where permitted.

Filters

Narrow the report to the relevant information.

Dates

Select the appropriate reporting period.

Groups

Review suitable classes, cohorts or organisational groups.

Output

Generate the report in an available format. The reporting model is intentionally controlled. EdiWay does not provide unrestricted database access or arbitrary SQL through the school reporting interface.

COMPOSITE REPORTING

Bring Related Information Together.
Without Merging the Records Behind It.

Sometimes a useful school question crosses more than one area. EdiWay can support controlled composite reporting using approved reporting modules. For example, an authorised user may need to consider appropriate:

Attendance and Progress

Look at attendance alongside academic information.

Behaviour and Attendance

Review factual patterns across both workflows.

SEND and Provision

Bring together permitted support information.

Workforce and Operations

Understand relevant staffing and operational context.

Family Engagement and Attendance

Review appropriate communication and attendance information. Each source remains canonical in its own workflow. A combined report does not turn correlation into causation or automatically explain why a pattern exists.

DASHBOARDS

Understand the Current Picture.Move From Overview to Detail.

Dashboards can help authorised users understand information without repeatedly producing manual spreadsheets. EdiWay's reporting capability includes dashboard foundations across areas such as:

Leadership

Review appropriate school-level information.

Attendance

Understand attendance patterns and current position.

Behaviour

Review appropriate behaviour and achievement information.

SEND

See relevant SEND information within the authorised domain.

Workforce

Understand suitable staffing context.

Compliance

View appropriate status information from the dedicated compliance workflow.

Family Engagement

Review relevant engagement information. Different dashboards serve different responsibilities. A leadership dashboard should not automatically expose sensitive learner-level or workforce-level records.

LEADERSHIP REPORTING

Give Leaders a Clearer View.Keep the Detail Governed.

School leaders often need information from several parts of the organisation. EdiWay can help bring appropriate factual information together around areas such as:

Attendance

Understand current patterns.

Progress

Review approved academic information.

Behaviour

Consider incidents, positive recognition and follow-up demand.

SEND

Use appropriate authorised oversight.

Workforce

Understand relevant staffing information.

Operations

See appropriate school operational context.

Actions

Identify work requiring follow-up. Leadership oversight does not create unrestricted access to every sensitive record. The underlying permissions still apply.

FILTER AND REFINE

Start Broad.Find the Information That Matters.

Reports become more useful when authorised users can narrow them to the right context. Depending on the report, that may include filters such as:

Date

Choose the relevant period.

Learner

Review permitted learner-level information.

Class

Focus on a teaching group.

Year Group

Review an appropriate cohort.

School

Keep information within the authorised organisation.

Status

Focus on particular workflow states.

Value

Use approved value filters where supported.

Report Section

Search within available modules, sections or measures. Available filters depend on the report definition and the underlying information domain.

SCHEDULED REPORTS

Run Important ReportsWithout Rebuilding Them Every Time.

Where enabled, approved reports can support recurring schedules. That can help with regular school activity such as:

Weekly Reviews

Prepare appropriate recurring information.

Leadership Meetings

Generate agreed reporting material.

Attendance Review

Keep regular oversight easier to maintain.

Operational Review

Prepare suitable school-status information.

Workforce Review

Provide authorised recurring information.

Governance Preparation

Support approved reporting requirements. Scheduled reporting produces information from the available records at the relevant time. It does not replace human review of whether that information is complete, appropriate or ready to use.

REPORT EXPORTS

Use the InformationWhere the School Needs It.

Authorised users can export appropriate reporting information where the workflow supports it. Available outputs can include:

CSV

Use suitable structured data for authorised analysis.

PDF

Create readable report outputs.

Word

Prepare suitable editable documents where supported.

Private Report Output

Keep restricted reports inside controlled access.

Data Export

Export authorised source information where permitted. Export rights remain separate from viewing rights. Being able to see information on screen should not automatically mean a user can export or redistribute it.

EVERYDAY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

Reduce Repetitive Admin.Keep the School Record Current.

Reporting and administration also supports routine work around the core school record. That includes capabilities such as:

Search

Find learners, staff and appropriate records.

Bulk Updates

Apply authorised changes to multiple records.

Data Import

Bring supported information into the platform.

Data Export

Take authorised information out where required.

Custom Fields

Maintain school-specific information where supported.

Documents

Keep relevant documents connected to the correct record.

BULK ADMINISTRATION

Update More Than One Record.
Keep High-Impact Changes Controlled.

Some school administration tasks affect many records at once. EdiWay supports bulk-update capability for appropriate administrative work. That may help schools manage changes across:

Learners

Update suitable shared information.

Groups

Maintain relevant cohort information.

Classes

Support appropriate administrative changes.

Staff

Update permitted workforce information.

Custom Information

Maintain supported school-defined fields. Bulk tools should reduce repetitive administration. They should not become a way of bypassing validation, permissions or specialist workflow decisions. Sensitive or consequential decisions remain within their proper workflow.

DATA IMPORT

Bring Information In.Validate Before It Becomes the Record.

EdiWay supports structured data import for appropriate school information. Current foundations include import workflows for core learner and staff data. The process can include:

Upload

Provide the supported source data.

Validation

Check that required information is present and usable.

Processing

Work through the import in controlled batches.

Errors

Identify records requiring attention.

Outcome

Show the administrator what happened.

Reconciliation

Connect successful records to the canonical school data. Broader system migration has its own implementation and assurance requirements.

DATA QUALITY

Find Problems Earlier.Improve the Record Behind the Report.

A report is only as useful as the information behind it. EdiWay's data-management capability includes foundations for:

Validation

Identify information that does not meet expected rules.

Duplicate Detection

Surface possible duplicate records.

Missing Information

Identify incomplete data.

Import Errors

Show information that could not be processed.

Custom Fields

Keep relevant school-defined information structured.

Follow-Up

Give authorised staff a clearer route to correct the underlying record. Data-quality tools highlight issues for review. They do not automatically decide which conflicting record is correct.

SEARCH

Find the Record.Without Knowing Where Every Field Lives.

School administrators and authorised staff often need to locate information quickly. EdiWay supports search across appropriate school records. Depending on role and permissions, users may be able to locate relevant:

Learners

Find the appropriate learner record.

Staff

Locate workforce information.

Classes

Find teaching groups.

School Information

Navigate appropriate administrative records.

Documents

Find connected information where supported.

Reports

Locate available reporting outputs. Search respects the user’s authorised scope. A search result should not reveal information the user could not otherwise access.

AUDIT AND ACTIVITY HISTORY

Know What Changed.Keep Accountability With the Record.

Administrative activity can affect important school information. EdiWay maintains audit and user-activity capabilities to help authorised users understand relevant system changes. That may include appropriate information about:

User

Who completed the action?

Record

What was affected?

Time

When did it happen?

Change

What relevant action was recorded?

Workflow

Which part of EdiWay was involved?

History

What earlier state or activity remains available? Audit history supports accountability. It does not replace the specialist chronology or evidence model inside safeguarding, compliance, HR or other restricted domains.

ROLE-SCOPED REPORTING

The Same School.Different Reporting Responsibilities.

Different users need different information.

School Owner

Manage appropriate school records, reports and routine administration.

Teachers

Access reporting relevant to the learners and classes they are authorised to teach.

School Leaders

Use appropriate school-level oversight.

SENCOs

Use authorised SEND reporting.Access SEND information only through their authorised responsibilities.

DSLs

Use dedicated restricted safeguarding reporting.

HR Users

Use appropriate workforce reports.

Governors

Receive suitable governance information rather than unrestricted operational records.

Trust Users

Use authorised multi-school information where separately enabled.

SAFEGUARDING REPORTING

Some Reports NeedStronger Boundaries.

Safeguarding reporting is not ordinary school reporting.

Restricted safeguarding information belongs to the dedicated safeguarding workflow, with its own permissions, chronology and controlled evidence processes.

General reporting should not allow users to build unrestricted cross-domain reports containing safeguarding detail.

Authorised safeguarding users should use the appropriate safeguarding reporting and evidence tools.

REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE

Use the Same Evidence.Keep Compliance Ownership Separate.

Reporting may help school leaders understand information relevant to compliance. But Reporting and Administration is not the canonical compliance workflow.

Reporting

Helps authorised users view and organise school information.

Compliance, Risk and Evidence

Owns compliance checks, risks, accountable actions, evidence and readiness.

School Operations

Owns detailed operational checks and premises evidence.

Governance

Owns policies, governor workflows and improvement planning. Reports can consume appropriate information from those workflows. They should not duplicate them.

REPORTING AND GOVERNANCE

Give Governors Useful Information.
Not Unrestricted System Access.

Governors may need reports and dashboards to support governance responsibilities. EdiWay can provide suitable information from approved school sources. That may include:

School Performance Context

Use appropriate approved measures.

Attendance

Provide suitable oversight.

Workforce

Share appropriate high-level information.

Improvement

Connect relevant progress information.

Compliance

Use appropriate status information.

Actions

Understand relevant governance follow-up. Detailed governor meetings, documents, policies and improvement plans remain within School Governance, Policies and Improvement.

TRUST AND MULTI-SCHOOL REPORTING

Connect School Oversight.Keep School Access Governed.

Trust-level reporting has different requirements from ordinary school reporting. Where enabled and appropriately assured, EdiWay can support permission-scoped multi-school reporting and comparison. That may include suitable information around:

Schools

Review authorised organisations.

Trends

Consider changes over time.

Measures

Use agreed definitions.Owns detailed operational checks and premises evidence.

Cohorts

Protect sensitive small groups.

Comparison

Provide factual context without automatically ranking schools.

Drill-Through

Require separate authorisation before opening school-level detail. Detailed MAT and multi-school oversight remains a distinct developing area rather than something this page should overclaim.

STATUTORY RETURNS

Reporting Is Notthe Same as Statutory Submission.

Schools and education providers may need to prepare information for statutory or government purposes. General EdiWay reporting can help users understand and review source information. It should not be marketed as automatically completing every statutory return or government submission.

Where specific statutory-data workflows are supported, they require their own:

General reports remain separate from official statutory submissions.

GOVERNED AI FOR REPORTING

Help Turn InformationInto a Working Draft.

Where enabled, EdiWay AI may assist authorised users with reporting work. That can include:

Data Questions

Ask natural-language questions about permitted information.

Report Drafting

Prepare working narrative from selected data.

Summaries

Organise permitted report information.

Leadership Briefings

Create a draft overview for human review.

Meeting Preparation

Help organise key points.

Explanation

CURRENTLY IN LIVE TESTING

Help Shape School ReportingAround the Questions Schools Actually Need to Answer.

EdiWay is undergoing active development and live testing.

Current reporting foundations include a school reporting engine, controlled composite reports, dashboard capability and domain-specific dashboards covering areas including leadership, attendance, behaviour, SEND, safeguarding, workforce, family engagement and compliance.

Controlled composite reporting uses approved report modules rather than arbitrary database queries and includes foundations for report definitions, approved fields and measures, filters, recurring schedules, queued runs and private CSV, PDF and Word output.

Core administration capabilities include search, bulk updates, structured data import, data export, custom fields, audit trails and user-activity records.

Data-management capability also includes validation, duplicate detection and missing-data alerts.

Some deeper reporting filters, visual report design, external sharing, sensitive-field redaction, multi-school reporting, historical migration and cross-role runtime assurance remain subject to further testing or controlled rollout.

EdiWay should therefore be positioned as a connected school reporting and administration environment built on the records already used to run the school—not a separate analytics database or an unrestricted reporting tool.
