About Nexus

Nexus is a web based education portal available to every Local Authority in England through their NCER membership.

Local Authorities are often unaware of the existence of this tool that they already have access to. Nexus brings together a wealth of key information designed to support the school improvement service. Designed specifically to bridge the gap between the data managers and data recipients, Nexus helps ensure the data being used in your school discussions is accurate, up-to-date and consistent.

NEXUS features 4 key areas of functionality that provide vital information for Data Teams, School Improvement Teams and Senior Managers.

• Traditional Website (forums, news, contact us, NCER events etc)
• Configurable Homepage Data Widgets – drawing in data from a variety of sources; Keypas, National Data, Local Data
• NEXUS School Pages – an holistic view of each school summarising data from a variety of sources and generating the NEXUS School Profile Report
• KEYPAS – pupil level performance data analysis and reporting tool

Angel Solutions meet regularly with the NCER’s NEXUS User Group to review all of the above elements of NEXUS for prioritisation and the scheduling for development.
