Academic Profiles
Helping Schools Optimise Educational Outcomes
For over 25 years, Academic Profiles has been analysing and visualising school data across NSW. Trusted by schools to deliver personal, professional, and data-driven insights that make a real difference.
2026 Conference #APET2026
We were delighted to bring together a network of expert educators for the Academic Profiles & Effort Tracking Conference, held at Loreto Kirribilli in Sydney on Friday 1 May 2026.
The conference, Unpacking Schoolwide Data: Embedding strategies to support teacher and student agency, provided a valuable opportunity to explore practical and effective approaches to using data to inform teaching, strengthen schoolwide practice, and empower learners.
Attendees heard a range of inspiring presentations showcasing data-informed strategies that drive improved outcomes and foster both teacher and student agency. We were also privileged to hear keynote addresses from Scientia Professor Andrew Martin and Professor Rebecca Collie from the UNSW School of Education.
Thank you to all presenters and participants for contributing to such a collaborative and energising day.
Here are a few photos of the day (thanks to Jeremy Pan).

What Clients Say
“Academic Profiles have consistently provided excellent information that has helped us continue to review and refine our teaching and learning. It is crucial that our practices are based on the best possible data and analysis, and we look forward to continuing to work with Academic Profiles so that we can best serve the learning of our students.”
“Academic profiles provides a comprehensive report that assists our understanding of the results and helps the school make decisions for the future.”
“Academic Profiles is as good as the almost meaningless league tables are bad. Academic Profiles tracks all the information that schools who really care about their kids actually want to know - how all students have gone compared to their ability, how all subjects have gone compared to the ability of the students in them and how the school has really performed. It presents it to you in a way that allows you to make improvements for students in future years. It turns the straw of raw data into something approaching gold.”
“We find the data provided by Academic Profiles to be informative and accurate. We would recommend their services.”
“The analysis of the results is comprehensive. Looking at the Value Added data (being able to compare how students perform compared to Year 10) is extremely useful in seeing what subjects students underperformed in. The data helps target areas for improvement. A very professional service.”
