- To provide schools with the tools necessary to inform their strategies around progression and attainment.
- To enable schools to easily focus on important factors such as vulnerable groups, interventions and the effectiveness of initiatives.

- To simplify reporting, analysis and accountability in assessment.
The Origins of Kaumaka Ltd
Based in South Yorkshire, we are a team of teachers and geeks that have been working in the education sector for the last 20 years.
Some of our team were originally part of Clifton EMAG Ltd, which developed the EAZ MAG Writer system over the last 18+ years. This system was originally created from input from the nine schools that fed into Clifton: A Community Arts School and the Education Action Zone (EAZ) which served the same schools since April 2000.
The Education Action Zone (EAZ) provided additional support to its schools to raise attainment, achievement, attendance and aspiration for all of their pupils. The EAZ aimed to build the capacity of all its partner schools to support each other in improving all outcomes for children and families. This was done through working in classrooms, delivering CPD for staff and engaging in community and multi-agency work on behalf of the individual schools.
As part of the EAZ's services, the EAZ MAG Writer system was developed to provide their schools with a method of tracking and analysing assessment data in a quick and easy manner. In no time at all, the system quickly spread throughout Rotherham and neighbouring authorities simply by word of mouth.
In 2026, to protect the sustainability of the EAZ MAG Writer system, our new team (Kaumaka Ltd) took over the development and support of the system and as a celebration of this new adventure the system was renamed to SchoolAssess.
