Case Study 1: From 6-Week Delays to Real-Time Insights
Challenge: GL Assessment Data Lag
Solution: Deesha's AI-Powered Data Integration
Case Studies & Testimonials – Real Impact from Deesha
The Challenge
A multi-academy trust faced crippling 6-8 week delays in uploading GL Assessment data to their MIS. This bottleneck:
Left teachers blind to student needs for nearly 2 months
Forced reactive (vs. proactive) interventions
Wasted 10+ hours weekly on manual data reconciliation
How Deesha Transformed Their Process
Automated PDF Parsing: Deesha ingested raw GL Assessment PDFs directly, bypassing manual entry.
AI-Driven Matching: Linked assessment data to individual student profiles in 24 hours (vs. 6 weeks).
Instant Intervention Flags: Auto-identified students needing phonics support (Stanine 1-3) for targeted groups.
Quantifiable Results
96.7% faster data turnaround (6 weeks → 24 hours)
24% projected grade improvement for at-risk students
15 hours/week saved for SLT on data processing

What School Leaders are saying about Deesha
“Deesha is exactly what schools have needed for years. For decades, we’ve collected vital data like attendance, Deesha is the game-changer schools have needed for decades. For over 40 years, we’ve been collecting school data — from attendance to Progress 8 — but it's always been trapped in silos. Deesha brings it all together into one intelligent platform, finally enabling meaningful analysis across datasets.
What’s most powerful is the ability to ask simple questions like, ‘How are pupil premium boys performing compared to their cohort?’ and receive instant, strategic insight. It’s not just another dashboard — it’s how forward-thinking school leadership will operate in the future” - Peter O’Hagan, Director of Multi Academy Trust (63 schools), University Council Member
“Our trial of Deesha has been very positive overall. Staff were particularly impressed by the depth of insight the platform provides, especially around value-added analysis and the ability to identify patterns in pupil performance quickly and clearly. The “student view” and drill-down features were seen as powerful, bringing together key information in one place and supporting more informed conversations about progress and intervention. For Heads of Department and senior leaders, Deesha offers a strong step forward in enabling strategic oversight, with flexible filtering and comparison tools that make it easier to spot trends across cohorts and subjects. While there is a learning curve, the potential of the platform to enhance how we understand and respond to pupil performance is clear, and with continued refinement and alignment to school context, it could become a highly impactful tool.” - Philip Canning, Assistant Head (Curriculum), Eastbourne College
“Deesha unlocks the hidden value in school data. As part of our pilot, I saw how Deesha could transform overlooked datasets into powerful insight. It revealed new patterns in pupil behaviour and performance, presented through clear visuals and smart drill-downs that made it easy for our leadership team to make better decisions, faster.
Deesha has completely changed how we look at the data we already had. It’s a powerful tool that helps us see what really matters.” - James Paveley, ISBL Fellow and School Business Leader
