The problem we wanted to solve

A national MAT of 58 schools, including 21 secondary schools, wanted to equip their teachers with the data and guidance to identify and support the mental health of vulnerable students earlier

How STEER Tracking helped

Following a successful pilot in four schools in 2018, the Trust rolled out STEER across the whole trust of 58 schools in 2019. More than 20,000 students were tracked and enabling teachers to identify students with mental health risks much earlier. Teachers used STEER Tracking to write targeted action plans to support those students, with an average of 78% impact across the trust.

The outcome

“Steer has enabled our colleagues in academies to accurately and efficiently identify students with hidden vulnerabilities, those who might otherwise remain hidden. The analysis of these vulnerabilities enables colleagues to pinpoint specific steering biases for individual students and facilitates the completion of individual action plans.

The system has supported our colleagues in building up their own expertise in supporting these students and to provide the appropriate support in school and to engage with parents more closely in this process.”

From a trust perspective, the support from STEER has been outstanding.”
