Sharing Best Practices

Empowering a Culture of Excellence

At the heart of college improvement lies the ability to learn from what works. CollegeiP helps colleges and trusts unlock the full potential of their staff by making it easy to capture, share, and replicate best practices—across classrooms, departments, and entire organisations.

Whether it’s a successful teaching strategy, a high-impact intervention, or an innovative CPD approach, CollegeiP ensures best practice doesn’t stay hidden — it becomes part of your improvement culture.

Too often, great practice is limited to one classroom or school. With CollegeiP, you create a centralised space where excellence can be documented, celebrated, and scaled—so every learner benefits.

1. Centralised Best Practice Library

Capture What Works - Staff can record and upload examples of effective teaching, leadership strategies, curriculum planning, safeguarding approaches, and more.

2. Link to CPD and Performance

Highlight Best Practice in Appraisals - Staff can showcase high-impact work during reviews, linking it to objectives and professional development.

Inform CPD Planning - Identify successful approaches and build training sessions or coaching programmes around proven strategies.

3. Collaborate Across Colleges and Trusts

Trust-Wide Visibility - Multi-academy trusts can use CollegeiP to identify and scale practice across colleges — fostering collaboration, not competition.

Promote Peer Learning - Encourage staff to learn from colleagues through shared portfolios, examples, and case studies—boosting morale and engagement.

4. Celebrate and Recognise Success

Spotlight Innovation - Use CollegeiP to recognise individual or team contributions, showcasing achievements in newsletters, dashboards, or SLT briefings.

Create a Culture of Continuous Improvement - When staff know their good work will be seen and shared, it encourages reflection, innovation, and pride in their practice.

5. Evidence for Inspection and Governance

Demonstrate College-Wide Excellence - Provide inspectors, governors, or trust leaders with real examples of strong practice across key areas—supporting SEF judgements and strategic plans.

CollegeiP makes it easy to move from pockets of excellence to a whole-college culture of quality. By sharing what works, you build collective expertise, reduce duplication, and accelerate improvement across your college or trust.
