Case Study: Ark Schools achieves education insights in minutes, not months, with Tableau Software

Ark Schools delivers education insights in minutes, not months

Ark Schools is an international education organization operating 34 schools in the UK and one in Delhi, committed to ensuring all children receive a great education. Leaders relied on slow, labor-intensive reporting—compiling data and building dashboards took about a month of effort—so they needed a faster, more flexible way for teachers and senior leaders to access actionable insights for daily decisions.

Ark implemented a browser-based analytics platform on Tableau Server, building role-specific visualizations (including their “governor dashboard”) in minutes—recreating a previously month-long dashboard in just 2 minutes 22 seconds. The result: network-wide, drillable analytics available anywhere, rapid adoption across staff from trainee teachers to trustees, and faster, data-driven decisions that improve classroom planning and student outcomes.
