4Matrix is an educational technology company that develops performance data management software for secondary schools and Multi-Academy Trusts. The company is operated by New Media Learning Ltd and was established in 2002 by two school improvement advisers named Mike and Bob.

Based in Chelmsford, United Kingdom, 4Matrix serves over 1,200 secondary schools across the UK and describes itself as the largest independent data solutions provider to secondary schools in the country. The company offers three main products: 4Matrix Desktop, a Windows-based application for individual schools that provides data analysis tools across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 at £1,295 plus VAT per year; 4Matrix Infinity, a free web-based add-on that provides online access to selected features; and 4Matrix Fusion, a cloud-based multi-school analysis platform designed for Multi-Academy Trusts.

The software integrates with school management information systems including Arbor, Bromcom, Cloud School, and SIMS, and includes features such as Progress 8 modelling, Value Added calculations, pupil progress tracking, and automated reporting capabilities. The company is currently transitioning customers to 4Matrix Cloud, with over 200 schools already migrated as of 2025.
