Tbilisi · school figures in pictures

A readable year, before the governors sit down.

Packagematrixgrid prepares Education Performance Insights for one school at a time. Examination results, attendance, and progress marks are drawn as pictures a headteacher can walk through in a half-day briefing — the craft we keep under the working name Data Visualization and Analytics Platform.

What you actually receive

A briefing is not a login or a weekly digest. It is a printed and PDF pack plus a half day with the people who drew the pictures, using the school’s own figures for the year just gone and the year before.

School performance briefing

One school, one academic year, pictured against the previous year. Built for the spring or autumn governors’ meeting.

Mathematics, Georgian language, or a science block looked at on its own when the whole-school picture is too coarse.

Governor meeting pack

A short set of pictures and a one-page note sized for a board agenda, not a full briefing day.

Last spring at a municipal school in Saburtalo

The director had Unified National Examination outcomes for the leaving cohort, internal marks for years 7–11, and attendance printed from the register. None of it fitted on one slide. We asked for the extract in the form the examination office already uses, drew the year as a small set of pictures, and sat with the senior team for a Wednesday morning.

By lunch they had named two subject blocks that looked weaker only because a large year group had moved through, and one attendance pattern that belonged to a single bus route, not to “the school.” That is the work.

Notes from schools

How the weeks run

  1. You write with the school name, the meeting date, and which year of figures you can share.
  2. We send a short list of extracts — examinations, attendance, internal assessments — and a named contact on our side.
  3. Pictures are drafted in Tbilisi. You see a private proof before anything is printed for governors.
  4. The briefing is held at the school or at Level 11, 76 Kipshidze Street. The pack stays with you.

For governors who do not live in the spreadsheet

Most trustees we meet can read a column of marks. Few want to spend the meeting reconstructing what the column means for next year’s staffing. The governors’ page sets out what arrives in the pack and which questions are fair to ask in the room.

Fees start from a single-school briefing; larger groups and extra departments are quoted after we have seen the extract. See how a fee is built.

From the journal

Short notes on reading examination series, attendance averages that hide a winter, and how to prepare an extract without extra work for the office.

When a subject department looks weaker than it is

A mathematics page can sag because a large year moved through, because entry patterns changed, or because eleven candidates are being asked to carry a staffing debate. The department session is for telling those apart.
