In a world where data-driven decisions are revolutionising the way we raise achievement, Megan’s journey highlights how personalised insights can transform A-Level results for every student. Brett Griffin, the Founder & CEO of Pupil Progress, and his daughter Megan (‘Megs’), a former A-Level student, reflect on the profound impact that a supportive environment, combined with accurate tracking and monitoring tools, can have on student success.

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

As a former educator and the Founder & CEO of Pupil Progress, Brett had an in-depth understanding of how data could transform educational outcomes. Recognising the potential for Megs to benefit, he introduced her to the tools he had developed.

By providing Megs a live view of her data and an individual student report, Brett helped her identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about her study approach. This allowed her to focus her efforts on boosting her grades, down to the exact marks she needed. Unlike spreadsheets often used for data management, such as Google Sheets or Excel, Pupil Progress provides real-time, actionable data at a granular level. 

“We've got a huge amount of passion for what we do at Pupil Progress, but it's amazing to see my daughter utilise it at such a crucial point in her life” - Brett Griffin, Founder & CEO of Pupil Progress

Megs quickly learned to use the user-friendly platform to gain insights into her strengths and areas for improvement. By analysing simple and actionable insights to her performance, she pinpointed specific subjects and topics requiring attention. 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 Pupil Progress made me feel a lot more confident. In the mock exams leading up to the 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.

Meg’s grades, initially predicted 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 occasionally what I need to improve. But when you actually see the statistics, the data, and the exact numbers it’s so much clearer. Preparing for university with Pupil Progress as a tool has really helped me” - Megan Griffin, former A-Level Student.

Megs is now studying Marketing at her first-choice university. Alongside her studies, she works in the Pupil Progress Growth Marketing team to enhance her skills and gain industry experience. The entire team at Pupil Progress is thrilled to see Megs achieve her dream results of ABB in her A-Levels and wishes her every success as she embarks on her university journey.

Megs’ story is a compelling demonstration of how a student-focused, personalised learning roadmap, combined with commitment and the right support, can lead to extraordinary outcomes. Her transformation, from struggling with predicted grades to achieving remarkable results, showcases the effectiveness of Pupil Progress. If these tools and insights can empower Megs to achieve her goals, they can provide the same opportunities for every student, equipping them with the confidence and clarity they need to succeed.

“My hope for Pupil Progress as a tool in the future is that it helps students by providing a comprehensive platform they can log into as much or as little as they wish. This platform will give them complete confidence and clarity on what they need to learn, how to get there, and, most importantly, the ability to see their progress towards their goals.” – Brett Griffin, Founder & CEO of Pupil Progress
