FFT is a non-profit organisation established in 2001 as part of the Fischer Family Trust. It focuses on providing accurate and insightful information to schools which enables pupils to achieve their full potential and schools to improve. It's online system, FFT Aspire, is used by over 14,000 schools and trusts in England and Wales to promote school improvement through high quality analytics including results analyses, self-evaluation, target setting and tracking of progress and attendance.
