In my role, tasks that can be done in a few minutes within SchooliP, but they were taking significantly longer without the platform. All staff find the visual representations an excellent way of determining progress, areas for development etc. This applies to appraisal as well as school development plans. We have a single system that has brought consistency, reduced workload and centralised tasks and activities. We purchased a three-year subscription because we were so impressed by the functionalities and how it would impact on administrative tasks (for example). I am glad to say that the product has delivered and continues to deliver. It is very hard to imagine returning to our old way of working with various platforms, file sharing sites etc.
Jazz Williams found SchooliP:
- Significantly saves school money“Staff can be more efficient by working with a system that centralises so much information so they are able to undertake other duties. In effect, SchooliP enables staff productivity without additional staffing costs.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“School development planning has become much easier as SchooliP in terms of leadership and management being able to work collaboratively or on their specific areas of responsibility independently at time that is suitable for them. Teachers and the Senior Leadership Team have been able to easily add evidence of standards and professional development, ensuring it links to areas of school development. We were able to start an initial appraisal easily and with very little time required by teachers to self-evaluate.”
- Significantly provides school data“There is an ability to track professional development and quickly generate reports as needed related to teacher performance. SchooliP contains all the information needed to save time on data presentation and allows us to focus far more on what the data is telling us.”
- Moderately improves teacher wellbeing“The creation of the development plan and being able to easily generate strategic plans, progress reviews etc has meant that our teachers have a much clearer idea of priorities and avoiding the duplication of work that was occurring before leading to a sense of frustration. Teachers have found the platform easy to use, in an intuitive sense, therefore they see the value of SchooliP and recognise how it functions to streamline school information and management.”
- Significantly improves school processes“Our process of creating and reviewing the development plan has been streamlined and standardised. SchooliP has brought consistency in terms of development plans and clearer lines of accountability.”

Great support staff, easy to use and able to access it from any type of device provided you have wi-fi access.

Having a uniform way of doing things helps trainers know what they should be doing, when and how. e.g. observation criteria and how they link to professional standards, SQP and CPD.”
