What schools say about SMID

The secondary schools in our Multi-Academy Trust have been using SMID for a number of years now, and I can confidently speak on behalf of them when I say the level of service we continue to receive is superb. The team at SMID truly go above and beyond - responses to queries are often received within the hour, and nothing ever seems too much trouble.

While there are other well-established systems on the market that cater to schools and assessment data, I can honestly say that the level of service, responsiveness, and product quality SMID provides would be very hard to match. Their combination of robust data tools, excellent customer support, and a genuine willingness to innovate based on school feedback sets them apart from other providers.

Simply put, SMID has become an integral part of how our trust manages and analyses performance data, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come.

SMID has truly transformed us as a school. Their platform has strengthened our ability to analyse data with confidence, supporting senior leaders in making informed strategic decisions while also giving classroom teachers clear, accessible insights that directly enhance teaching and learning. The SMID team are consistently on hand to support and always keen to develop SMID to ensure a personal touch and requirements to each school. They always ensure that we always get the very best from the system.

“SMID provides a friendly, visual user interface, providing clear data and showing me exactly what every student needs. It has changed the way my staff plan and respond in the classroom.” - Trish Gilroy Deputy Headteacher

As a Head of English, I’ve been incredibly impressed with both the SMID platform and the team behind it. They worked with me to develop a bespoke tool specifically tailored to the needs of our English department, taking the time to understand exactly what I needed from a subject-leader perspective. They were exceptionally accommodating throughout the process, incredibly receptive to feedback, and willing to adapt and refine the tool around our requirements.

The finished tool has made analysing our English data far more efficient and has given me a much clearer way of identifying patterns, strengths and areas for intervention. What has impressed me most is the level of support and genuine willingness to create something that works for us as a department. I would highly recommend SMID to other subject and school leaders looking for a flexible, responsive and genuinely useful approach to data analysis.
