Most Helpful Reviews

SchooliP

Michael Watson, Assistant Headteacher: It's a system that has much more to offer than we currently use and can help to monitor a wide range of different aspects of school life such as policy documents, training requests etc.
Claudia Boerescu, Director: The system is very good and we get a lot of support using it. However, it is not merged with other college systems e.g. iTrent, so all new starters need to be imported manually.
Tom Bithell, Assistant Headteacher: School IP is a great platform for school improvement because it provides data-driven insights into teaching quality and staff development enabling targeted interventions. By streamlining performance management and professional learning, it helps create a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that both teachers and students achieve their full potential.

Kate Brown, Assistant Headteacher: Some systems are not able to be fully integrated with our school's systems - such as the Leave of Absence request process.
