Our Trust has been using SchooliP’s across all academies for almost 9 years, and it has rapidly become an integral part of how we drive school improvement. What sets the platform apart is the way it brings every element of the school development cycle into one coherent, connected space. Appraisal, self‑evaluation, and school development planning are no longer isolated processes; instead, they link seamlessly, giving leaders and staff a clear line of sight from individual objectives through to whole‑school and Trust‑wide priorities. The system’s ability to join up these components has significantly strengthened the consistency and quality of our improvement work. Schools benefit from a strong framework for monitoring impact and ensuring that priorities are understood and acted upon at every level. While Trust leaders gain a precise, real‑time overview of progress across all settings. This whole‑Trust visibility has been particularly valuable for reporting to trustees, who now have access to clear, evidence‑rich insights that support informed governance and strategic challenge. We have also received positive feedback from Ofsted, who recognised the clarity and coherence of our development processes and the way the system supports ongoing evaluation and improvement. The support from the SchooliP team has been excellent. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive in helping us personalise the system so we can get exactly what we need from it. Overall, SchooliP has provided a well-designed solution that enhances accountability, strengthens strategic alignment, and supports a culture of continuous improvement across the Trust. It has become a key driver in how we plan, evaluate, and deliver school improvement.
Staff have found the system easy to use, which has made a noticeable difference to engagement and the quality of the information we capture. Teachers appreciate being able to see how their appraisal objectives connect to wider school priorities, and leaders value the way CPD records and self evaluation evidence feed directly into our development planning. It has genuinely streamlined processes. The support from the SchooliP team has been excellent. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive in helping us get the most out of the system. Whether it’s onboarding new staff, refining our setup, or exploring new features, the ongoing support has been a real strength. Overall, the platform has helped us create a more joined up, transparent, and efficient approach to school development. It has strengthened our internal processes and ensured that our work aligns smoothly with Trust wide expectations, while still being tailored to the needs of our school.

Systems like iSAMS try to do a lot of things, and I can appreciate that none of those will be as good as specialised options e.g. we do not use the built in admissions, we use OpenApply. Whilst the system does the core items fairly well, it does feel like it is ageing and in need of overhaul, and despite it's best efforts, it does not feel like iSAMs has enough capacity to do this quickly enough.
We are yet to use the system fully; however, the set up is very much 'old' by design - looks like it was an early 1990s Windows set up. Other systems are more intuitive and use fewer clicks to get the information required. I think the dashboard could be less cluttered and simpler to use. For example, the timetable appears in my day view and it would be obvious to be able to click on it and it open the register. However, there is no link and you have to click a different area to open the register. The modular nature can be frustrating as schools are not modular by design and cross-referencing of information is so often used. There just appears to be 2/3 clicks too many required when the trying to access information. A small but frustrating thing is is the attention to detail e.g. in the search function Pupil Manager asks for Forename and then Surname; Pupil Profile is Surname and Forename. It is a small thing but frustrating.
