“It is the solution I was looking for, and didn't know existed. It is a management tool, but with careful planning can be help staff feel ownership of their personal development. We hope it gives them agency, rather than feeling that it is a 'top down' tool.”
Steve Dann - Principal
Long Road Sixth Form College is a large, inclusive 16–19 college located on the southern side of Cambridge, close to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and within easy reach of the city centre. Established in 1974, the college serves a wide regional catchment and offers a spacious, green 23-acre campus that provides a calm and supportive setting for study. With a diverse student community drawn from across Cambridge and the surrounding area, Long Road is known for being welcoming, student-centred, and focused on supporting young people at a crucial stage in their education.
The college places strong emphasis on individuality, inclusion and helping every learner fulfil their potential. Its ethos is built around creativity, independence and mutual respect, underpinned by values such as empathy, integrity, diversity and sustainability. Long Road offers a wide academic and vocational curriculum, including A-levels, diplomas, and Level 2 programmes, alongside enrichment opportunities and strong pastoral support. By combining an aspirational academic culture with a nurturing environment, the college aims to equip students with the confidence, skills and personal growth needed for successful progression into higher education, apprenticeships or employment.
Improving College Processes With CollegeiP
“We replaced a paper based CPD booking system with CollegeiP and the transformation was immediate and beneficial for staff and administration. Requests are handled quickly with a simple workflow and instant notifications.
Providing The College Data
“The management of CPD data has improved dramatically. Not only can the costings be seen immediately, but we can demonstrate the quantum of training carried out across different departments and in different areas of need. This was an area of concern in an OFSTED inspection - not that we weren't doing training, but it was hard to evidence and link to college priorities for improvement.”
Reducing Workloads & Improving Well-being
“It leads to a smoother and quicker process, reducing stress and repetition. Staff no longer have to try to see where a form has got to in the process, they can see it on the platform. We have not had the usual concerns about a new platform causing increased anxiety.”
Saving The College Time & Money
“It has saved a significant amount of admin time, just on the CPD. Too early to see if the monitoring applications will be time saving.”
