The MAT Challenge

Running a trust blind is no longer acceptable.

Most MAT leaders rely on weekly headteacher reports and ad hoc escalations to understand what's happening across their schools. Attention First changes that.

No visibility across schools

Single trust dashboard with live school-by-school status

Safeguarding concerns siloed in individual schools

Central DSL oversight of every open concern across the trust

Manual data collection for board reporting

On-demand trust reports generated automatically

Inconsistent pastoral standards across schools

Benchmarking and gap analysis to drive consistent improvement

MAT Capabilities

Built for trust-level leadership

Trust-Wide Dashboard

A single view of every school in the trust — risk scores, attendance, safeguarding status and open concerns, all in one place.

School-by-School Benchmarking

Compare pastoral performance across schools. Identify outliers, track improvement and direct central support where it's needed most.

Central DSL Oversight

Trust DSLs see every open safeguarding concern across all schools — with escalation alerts when school-level action is overdue.

Role-Based Access

Trust leaders see the full picture. Headteachers see their school. Pastoral leads see their year group. Configured to your structure.

Trust-Level Reporting

Board-ready reports on attendance, behaviour, safeguarding and SEND across the trust — generated on demand, not assembled manually.

Consistent Data Standards

Normalise data across schools using different MIS systems. Arbor, Bromcom and SIMS data unified into a single trust intelligence layer.

Central Safeguarding

No safeguarding concern
falls through the cracks.

Trust DSLs get a consolidated view of every open safeguarding concern across all schools — with automatic escalation alerts when school-level action is overdue, CP plan reviews are missed, or referrals go unacknowledged.

  • Trust-wide CP plan monitoring with deadline alerts
  • Automatic escalation to central DSL when schools are overdue
  • Multi-agency referral tracking across all schools
  • KCSIE-aligned oversight framework built in
  • Full audit trail for every concern and action
