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

Case Study 2: Boosting Attendance Through Hidden Insights

Challenge: Chronic Absenteeism

Solution: Deesha's Behavior-Attendance Correlation Engine

The Challenge

Despite intensive efforts, the school struggled with:

  • 77% of teachers citing attendance as their top barrier

  • Generic interventions failing to move the needle

How Deesha Revealed the Hidden Connection

1. Cross-System Analysis: Correlated behaviour logs with MIS attendance data.

2. AI-Powered Insight: Flagged that some late arrivals followed afternoon detentions.

3. Targeted Action: Revised detention timing + added morning check-ins for at-risk students

  • Predicted 5% attendance boost in one term

  • Predicted 42% reduction in repeat late arrivals

  • Ofsted-approved tracking system

What School Leaders Are Saying

Peter O'Hagan

Director Multi Academy Trust (63 schools), University Council Member.

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

“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.”
