Careers Leader

Used Indigo monthly for 1-2 years

Feb 2023

I'm very happy with Indigo and we are working to embed it, it fits well in our career programme but I wouldn't assume it would be right for other colleagues. So right for us, I would always suggest checking it out to decide for your self if it's the right platform.

Amanda Bibby found Indigo:
  • Moderately saves school money
    Indigo was more cost effective than our previous platform Start, based on the level of usage we required
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    Indigo is so easy to navigate teachers are happy to lead sessions using it with minimal preparation or instruction needed
  • Slightly reduces attainment gap
    Indigo is accessible for a broad range of students but I have not been using it long enough to measure impact yet
  • Slightly improves attainment
    None as yet
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Our students have really enjoyed exploring a wide range of options and love the recorded sections

Just like the simplicity and effectiveness of all Indigo offers

Reply from Indigo:Hi David, thanks for your review of Indigo! We're glad your find Indigo useful. If you would like, we can have a call to discuss which of Indigo's features could help reduce teacher workload and how we could improve Indigo in this regard. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with your thoughts and feedback!
David Kemsley found Indigo:
  • Moderately saves school money
    It is a cost effective solution that delivers good value which in turn drives client loyalty.
  • Does not significantly reduce teacher workload
    Very useful overall but not a huge impact on their work load partly because I'm not a teacher myself so have the time !!
  • Slightly reduces attainment gap
    No but that doesn't mean Indigo doesn't have a positive impact in this regard
  • Slightly improves attainment
    Only in regard of Indigo helping students to possibly aim higher and that helps improve attainment
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Better knowledge of apprenticeships and more qualitative and quantitative research on University plans.

An excellent resource overall.

Reply from Indigo:Hi Oliver. Thank you for your review, we're glad you find Indigo helpful!
Oliver Jenkin found Indigo:
  • Slightly saves school money
    Cannot comment.
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    I can see the lesson plans making teacher's lives easier when planning careers education.
  • Moderately reduces attainment gap
    The job profiles and lesson plans can help students understand what grades they will need to enter certain jobs and build motivation, help address the attainment gap.
  • Slightly improves attainment
    Possibly but I don't have enough information to comment.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    All the resources are reliable and up to date.
