In a world where data-driven decisions are becoming the leading topic surrounding raising achievement, the story of Megs stands out as a testament to the power of dedication, innovation, and familial support. Brett, the visionary CEO of Pupil Progress, and his daughter Megan ‘Megs’, an A-Level student, reflect on the profound impact that a supportive environment with accurate tracking and monitoring tools can have on student success.

As Megan prepared for her A-Level exams, she faced the challenge of working with the teacher predicted grades of DEE. She struggled to effectively target her study efforts due to a lack of clear visibility into her academic progress data. Without detailed insights, it was difficult for her to pinpoint specific areas needing improvement and to track her pupil progress over time.

Recognising this, Brett saw an opportunity to use Pupil Progress to give Megs the clarity she needed. By providing her with a live view of her data, he aimed to help her identify key areas for improvement and make more informed decisions about her study approach.

As the CEO of Pupil Progress and an ex-educator himself, Brett’s in-depth understanding of how data could transform educational outcomes enabled him to recognise that as a student, Megs could use the tools he developed to help schools track and monitor student progress for herself.

With a personalised approach, Brett introduced Megs to Pupil Progress, guiding her on how to harness its capabilities to track her performance and identify areas needing improvement that could boost her overall grade, down to the exact marks she needed to achieve this. Unlike programs often used to for data management, like Google Sheets or Excel, Pupil Progress provides real-time, actionable data on a more user-friendly, granular level.

“We've got a huge amount of passion for what we do at Pupil Progress anyway, but it's an interesting time for me personally seeing my daughter utilise it at such a crucial point in her life” - Brett Griffin, CEO and Founder of Pupil Progress.

Megs quickly grasped how to utilise the user-friendly platform to gain insights into her strengths and areas for improvement. By analysing simple and actionable insights to her performance, she was able to pinpoint specific subjects and topics where she needed to focus her efforts. This data-driven approach provided her with a clear roadmap, enabling her to channel her revision time more effectively.

“Going into the exams after using my Pupil Progress made me feel a lot more confident. In the mock leading up to the actual final A-level exams, I did quite well due to Pupil Progress, and knowing what I had to revise. I knew what I was capable of and that I could actually achieve high grades.” - Megan Griffin, former A-Level Student.

Megan’s grades, initially projected to fall short of her aspirations to attend her desired university, began to climb steadily. Her hard work and strategic study methods culminated in an impressive ABB on A-Level results day - an outcome far exceeding her initial predictions and marking a significant personal achievement.

“My education was mainly based on teachers telling me my grades and maybe sometimes what you need to do better. But when you actually see the statistics and the data and the numbers of exactly what you need, and in preparing to go to university - using Pupil Progress as a tool has really helped me” - Megan Griffin, former A-Level Student.

Megs joined the Growth Marketing team at Pupil Progress to gain valuable experience before heading to university. Her journey from a student to a key team member exemplifies the power of transparency in how students are tracking to inform revision tactics. 

As Megs prepares to embark on the next step of her educational journey at university to study Marketing, her story stands as a powerful example of how a student-focused, personalised learning portfolio, combined with commitment and familial support, can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Brett’s involvement not only highlights the effectiveness of Pupil Progress but also underscores the importance of empowering students with the right data to achieve their goals. What’s even better - the platform is designed as one central point of truth of data, breaking down silos in communication from the Trust CEO, to the teacher, parent and the student.

“My hope for Pupil Progress as a tool in the future to help students is they've got a comprehensive platform that they can log into as much or as little as they want, to gain complete confidence and clarity on what it is they need to learn, how they get in there, and most importantly, to see they are progressing towards where they want to get to” - Brett Griffin, CEO and Founder of Pupil Progress.

Megan’s story is a poignant case study in how data-driven insights and transparency can drive exceptional results. Through changing data perceptions at a student level, Megs has demonstrated that with the right resources and determination, aspirations can be realised. As Megs sets out to explore new horizons in career, her journey remains a source of inspiration and a testament to the transformative power of student-focused, exam board-specific tracking.

The entire team at Pupil Progress is thrilled to see Megs achieve ABB in her A-Levels and wishes her all the best as she embarks on her university journey.
