WHY CHOOSE W3 INSIGHTS? |
10 of the main reasons why clients choose us are available by clicking on the image below.
Each of our measurement instruments represents the outcome of literally years of Research & Development. We feel that the necessity for quality data to support "high-stakes" decision-making, in schools and other organisations, repays these efforts.
Below are examples of just a few representative unsolicited genuine comments we receive on a regular basis.
"Having completed our first full set of reports and having scrutinised them as an SLT, the quality of the data/results is quite unbelievable and have delivered everything yourself and Bob said they would.
The synopsis in terms of our more vulnerable students was of particular interest/use and we now have some real key data to work with and have already started strategising for 2010/11.
We will without doubt be utilising this survey for many years to come and would also strongly recommend any school be it in the primary, secondary, grammar and even public sector do the same!
Information of this quality can only be of enormous benefit to any Senior Leadership Team."
"Just wanted to let you know that we are in our second year of using PASS with our students and I am constantly telling all of the other schools in my L.A. to start using it. We have used it with a high degree of success to identify students that are low in self esteem. Once identified we have worked on the SEAL skills of these students and we have also involved them all (43 were Red on the Self Regard Factor) in 3 different projects designed to improve their self regard – Boxing for boys, self defence for girls and a K9 project (working with dogs) with our KS3 students. We have seen marked improvements in all of them with the rate of exclusion being reduced and improved attendance. We have also used PASS as a predictor of non-attendance, in the 3 years that I have been in the College the PA figure has fallen from 10% to 4.9% and we are no longer a PA school. This is through a number of systems and attitudinal changes but the PASS data has been invaluable. I used a great deal of the data that is provided from the PASS report when writing the part of the SEF that I responsibility for and found the data to be invaluable. The College had an Ofsted inspection in January 2010 and we moved from a ‘satisfactory’ school in 2007 to a ‘good school with outstanding features’ in the latest inspection. We achieved ‘outstanding’ for care, guidance and support and the PASS work definitely contributed to this grading. I have recently delivered a presentation to all of the Deputy/Assistant heads with responsibility for Behaviour & Attendance and I espoused the benefits of using PASS. I thought you would appreciate the positive feedback."
"We are really impressed with both the service from W3 Insights and the report."
"We have recently completed our KS1 and KS2 data and have received our report. We have found the programme to be incredibly useful."
"Really appreciate the help you have given me it has been fantastic support as always."
"I found the PASS information invaluable this afternoon as I prepared my SEF."
"All I hear is that PASS is still the best".
"I am a teacher and personal tutor in a special school. I have been using the PASS software for three years and absolutely love it".
"We are now using PASS for loads of areas, it has become integral to our provision, we think it's great! We are about to re-test a handful of children with the stand alone version to evaluate the impact of interventions they have received as a result of the initial survey and we are looking forward to carrying out our whole school survey again in October!
"I have been using your PASS system for three years now following a visit to Moss Side in Manchester with Eric Cymbir. We were inspected in February 2009 and received a grade 1 for each of the seven key questions and am certain that the PASS system played a great part in Key Question 4."
"We completed the online stuff for the whole school…. Got our data back. It is fantastic!!"
"Thanks again for your support. It is a rare pleasure to deal with someone who is so knowledgable and professional about the service they provide!"
The cluster met recently to evaluate the usefulness of the PASS audit information and to share successes as well as concerns. They felt that there was much to celebrate and the data has enabled them to focus actions around individuals and groups of pupils. In particular staff have seen real benefits for their pupils as a result of their interventions."
"You are a marvel (and you can quote me on your publicity materials regarding the excellent customer service you provide !!!) Many thanks.
"So far I have found PASS a really useful tool, especially as much of my work with children is also essentially preventative. PASS has really helped by confirming some trends we were already aware of, and it has also spurred me to work with some other groups and individuals on needs that so far had been overlooked."
"Once again many thanks for your help over the last 2 and a half years, which has converted me to your survey, and I sincerely wish you even more success in the future. If ever an organisation deserved it, it is yours.""Just a quick note to say thanks for the outstanding product and customer service. This is the second survey we have done with the whole school. The new improved access to the questionnaire and the speed at which the data comes back are both excellent. The ease at which we can then target at risk students makes a huge difference to their academic experience. Thank you."
"I've just used your wonderful programme. The strategies may well be random, but they are spot on. I understand what you mean when you say that the strategies are just examples of good practice that's already out there, but I believe all teachers have a great deal to learn from these suggestions."
"The students really like it and are interested to see survey 1 and survey 2 to see the difference. When one of the students saw the difference he just sat there saying 'Wow!'"
"PASS’s administration was highly effective; very detailed feedback was given within 24hrs. The results were both interesting and revealing. PASS had revealed important information that could have otherwise gone unnoticed. PASS helped to identify problems that could otherwise have gone undetected: the school is now able to provide support for the pupil, and have already spoken to him. PASS allows for a very deep insight into individuals, and also acts as a very useful early-detection tool."
"Thanks for getting in touch so quickly. We have managed to gain access to the staff section of the website. Can I just add that our experience so far with the data capture process has been 100% positive. We thank you for that!"
W3 Insights Assessment Instruments are widely used in more than 100 Local Authorities of England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales.
It is estimated that the PASS system alone has already made a difference to the lives of over 1,500,000 young people!
