Professional growth for all staff

For individual staff, BlueSky gives them ownership and visibility of their professional development and provides them with an online portfolio to carry with them throughout their career. Every member of staff in a school, including support staff, and non-academic staff can use BlueSky to map their progress.

Time and cost-saving

Brings together live data to give leaders a complete picture of staff progress and how their contribution helps the school achieve its goals for improving children’s learning. It eradicates the need for a paper trail. Reports are generated which inform leaders at a glance how an individual, team or school is performing.

Instant live trust data

For Multi-Academy Trusts (MAT) or Groups, our Partnership module supports collaboration and efficiency across groups of schools. The success of this forward-thinking module is being adopted by both established and newly-emerging trusts. We always ensure that there is a cost-saving for schools purchasing as a Trust or Group, and our membership offers great value for money.

School Evaluation

School Evaluation

BlueSky provides the mechanism to capture all types of quality assurance; from learning visits to work scrutiny.

The bottom-up approach supports evidenced-based decision making and provides teams and leaders with meaningful data to inform school improvement and action planning.

BlueSky's Executive Summary report provides a powerful snapshot of the organisation, based on customisable templates using inspection frameworks, organisation and/or departmental objectives, whilst archiving data to support effective tracking over time. Particularly useful when providing information to governors, trustees, boards and inspectors.

You can write your SEF (Self-Evaluation Framework) and improvement plan too – completing the cycle.
