ASOT Essentials
What is ASOT
Essentials?
This version of the tool uses readily available and easy-to-access data. Once key data has been entered, the tool then calculates essential diagnostic metrics that SBPs will find easy to understand and helps them analyse resource deployment efficiency and effectiveness. This important management information helps identify areas of inefficiency and, in turn, supports better-informed strategic decisions.
What does ASOT Essentials do?
Guides you step-by-step to enter your school’s data.
Calculates the 12 Key Metrics for you, not only for the current year but also for the previous two years, as well as the future two-year forecasts, based on year-specific thresholds.
Applies a RAG rating system to all of the metrics to indicate which areas may be of concern and require further investigation.
Provides separate thresholds for region-specific metric comparisons (National/Fringe and Inner/Outer London).
Assesses the potential size and financial impact in every metric area by comparison with national threshold benchmarks.
Provides a summary sheet of all of the key values.
Is supported by accompanying documentation to help you understand the 12 Key Metrics and the calculations used.
