OVERVIEW
Abby Deeks is Principal of West Lakes Academy and she is responsible for the SchooliP system. West Lakes is a secondary school with a sixth form based in Cumbria and has just under 1,200 pupils on roll. SchooliP was introduced to enhance staff development and make tracking progress easier. We asked Abby what impact SchooliP has had on her colleagues.
"...It is a one stop performance management shop!..."

PrincipalIMPACT
Abby stated "We have seen staff take more ownership of recording and reflecting on their own personal development. We have also seen senior leaders make better use of quality assurance information to help raise standards across the academy."
Abby also added that "It has given us the facility to create our own bespoke monitoring forms and then use these to generate academy-wide reports. The blog feature is also one we use heavily as part of our CPD model."
