IP Newsletter April 2023

Sprinting for Success? Last Chance to Join Live

This latest version of the newsletter discusses all the latest updates in the world of school and college improvement and we lead again on our latest webinar on Sprints and Agile Performance Management.

So, what are Sprints and how could they help with our staff development process and what in particular are the benefits?

And once we have established that Sprints is the way we wish to go, how do we go about implementing that within the iP Suite?

We’re running our webinar on Wednesday 26th April @ 16:00 (UK Time) to discuss how these Sprints work and what are the major benefits for staff. You can sign up for this FREE webinar by clicking here.

If you miss this webinar, there’ll be a chance shortly afterwards to watch the webinar on our web site so do check our latest webinars here.

Supporting Sustainability

In the UK more and more of our species are in decline with about 15% threatened with extinction. We’ve already hunted all of our top predators to extinction. Native woodlands cover as little as 2.5% of our land. Our seas have been overexploited to meet the every growing and unsustainable demand for food from both our domestic population and overseas, with pollution from watercourses feeding our oceans creating further problems.

Conservation has been working hard to promote change to save wildlife and improve our environment. But it’s time to move beyond species promotion and nature reserves.

WildStep are rewilding land in local communities for the benefit of the local people, to protect property value, to protect communities, to protect species and wildlife, to protect our air quality, and reduce water-course pollution, contributing to the protection of the global environment.

Derventio Education are
proud to support this new venture as part of our commitment to school
sustainability. This partnership builds on top of our commitment to
schools with our existing free sustainability audit tool.Stuart Reece, Managing Director of Derventio Education

We have been working with the team
at Derventio Education for many years supporting them with their
school improvement solution – SchooliP. They were the obvious partner
for WildStep.Ben Craig, Wildstep

New in V11.14.00.00

In the latest release of The iP Suite, we’ve seen the first organisations take advantage of the new dashboard. This dashboard provides a strategic overview of inspection and self-evaluation status, development plans and professional development progress, in one simple-to-use “performance on a page dashboard”.

Over the next few weeks and months the dashboard will be rolled out to schools and colleges, free of charge to take advantage of this new resource.

New Module: Policy Management

You may have noticed in the last few months that we’ve made available our new Policy Management module which you can evaluate without charge.

This new module provides you with the ability to create, amend, approve, review and publish your policies to all staff within your school or college.

The trial with the new Policy Management module is coming to an end. Why not join lots of other schools and colleges who have taken up this new module. It is available at a cost of £199 – £999 per year based on the size of your organisation – please contact +44 (0) 333 0433 450 info@derventioeducation.com for more details.

We ran a webinar earlier in the month to explain how this new module works. Don’t worry if you missed it as you can watch it again here.
