Arbor will not produce Insight Reports or Online Dashboards using Analyse School Performance (ASP) data for 2023. Instead, new dynamic ways to view ASP data alongside live performance data are being developed. The School > Insight area will be removed, and certain fields in the Custom Report Writer will no longer be available. Users must download existing reports before April 28th, as they will not be accessible afterward.
So we can focus on bringing you new ways to view and analyse your data, we’ve taken the decision not to produce Arbor Insight Reports or Online Dashboards powered by Analyse School Performance (ASP) data this year.
Instead, we’re working on dynamic new ways to view your ASP data alongside your live performance data. Take a look at our Change Log for what's already been released, and a link to our roadmap to see what's coming soon.
You can of course continue to access your ASP data via your DfE login here: https://services.signin.education.gov.uk
What's changing?
Changes on the School MIS
We'll be removing the School > Insight area.
- After the date below, you will no longer be able to purchase or download Insight reports.
- We’ll be removing the DfE pages that are currently powered by Arbor Insight, such as the additional pages in School > Insight.
In the Custom Report Writer:
ASP fields, and some other fields only available using Insight data will no longer be available to use in reports.
- Your existing reports won’t break, but these fields will show as blank.
- You can see a full list of these by clicking the link at the bottom of this article to download a PDF.
- The fields will be removed from the School, Demographics (KS1), Demographics (KS2) and Demographics (KS4) report types.
If you want to keep any of this data, you'll need to download your reports before the date below. Scheduling, sharing or creating a Live Feed (that automatically refreshes) from the report won't be effective, because the data will no longer be there to reference.
We will not be removing ASP groupings, so reports that use these (such as Reporting on attendance of your Analyse School Performance (ASP) groups) will not be affected.
Changes on the MAT MIS
If you have any schools in your trust not using Arbor, they won’t disappear - you’ll still be able to see them on the Institutions > Browse Institutions page.
We’ll be removing the MAT MIS Insight pages, and the DfE pages that are currently powered by Arbor Insight, including:
- The DfE Performance Data pages within Analytics > Group Context/Attendance/Assessment > Attainment & Progress.
- The Insight area in Analytics > Performance Reports > My Reports, and pages to manage your Insight subscriptions in Administration > Group Account. After the date below, you will no longer be able to purchase or download Insight reports.
When will these changes happen?
These changes will be made after Friday 28th April.
After this date, you’ll no longer be able to see Arbor Insight reports in the Group Account section of your MIS, or in the School MIS. You will also no longer be able to report on certain fields in the Custom Report Writer or on DfE Performance Data pages on the MAT MIS.
