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
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.”
