Yes - as a college, we previously used several word documents and templates that were then stored in different platforms i.e. SharePoint so bringing all the information together took a long time. CollegeiP has become the platform where we are able to streamline processes, make them consistent whilst also producing data for SLT. We are able to pull the full appraisal and observation processes together whilst also showing support and CPD - all this being live to the manager and the staff member whereas previously, we had to use several other platforms for checking - it brings back the accountability for staff and managers. Curriculum are working really well and they advise that other college processes could be carried out in CollegeiP so we are going to look at these things as part of the development for the academic year 23/24.
Sarea Younis found SchooliP:
- Slightly saves school money“Currently no impact reported”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“This is the college's first year of working in CollegeiP so as yet, no feedback has been gathered from users but we will survey for feedback from managers at the end of the academic year”
- Significantly provides school data“From first term of using the data, it shows strengths and weaknesses which can be drilled down to TLA principles and to specific teachers”
- Slightly improves teacher wellbeing“We have yet to develop the culture for teachers”
- Significantly improves school processes“We previously had several processes to cover different tasks i.e. lesson observations were loaded by Quality into ProObserve. Attendance to CPD sessions was informed by HoDs via email. Data is produced by the Quality team however now, HoDs and managers are able to generate data relevant to their particular department.”

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. I am able to get reports from the system which saves time trying to get this information from individuals. I can access this information at any time. Individual trainers have full access of their information which is protected by GDPR.
Elaine White found SchooliP:
- Significantly saves school money“reduces time that would be spent collating data, also using one system to capture trainer CPD and objectives”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Recording their CPD and evidence. It is also used to record feedback from their annual observations so that they have access to them easily. They also use the system to record self-reflections which can link to planning and improving their practice.”
- Moderately provides school data“Great for getting data such as observation due dates, observations carried out, engagement with the system, evidence of CPD, feedback from observations, and able to pull reports to look at trends, user use and individual department reports”
- Does not significantly improve teacher wellbeing“Seeing their progress can have a positive impact on wellbeing.”
- Significantly improves school processes“Uniform process so that everyone knows what to do and how to do it e.g. using the same observation forms, professional standards and departmental SQEP. 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.”

We have more work to do to shift our performance culture and achieve full engagement with a monitoring system such as iP, but College iP has helped us to move in this direction and is a straightforward system for staff and managers to engage with.
