What our clients say
Working with Mime has been a total joy. We have worked on a totally new project, and they have been generous and innovative in their approach to exploring the possibilities. The end result has totally surpassed my expectations and is now being used as a major driver for school improvement across a number of schools. Their attention to detail is excellent, but they are also able to keep the ‘big picture’ of what the purpose of the data is and how best to present it in a way that enables and empowers others to actually deeply understand it and, therefore, use it.
We have found the work of Mime to be of exceptional standard and of the highest quality. One key piece of work commissioned by us is the Super School Profile – an important report that has facilitated the identification of underachievement, performance concerns as well as areas for improvement. The Super School Profile is a tool that is held in high esteem and is widely used by senior advisors, governors and schools alike to support informed decision making and better outcomes for Southwark schools.
High quality, accessible data is a critical factor in school improvement. In my experience Mime’s products are really effective tools in developing an understanding of school priorities across all stakeholders which is vital to move both a school and a system forward in a sustainable way. I’ve had unanimously positive feedback from headteachers, chairs of governors, officers and elected members about Mime’s Super School Profiles and Datapix.
