IP Newsletter April 2025
As we enter the final term of the academic year, it brings time for reflection and forward planning. In this edition, we’re focusing on supporting you to make the most of the iP suite—helping you stay confident, inspection-ready, and aligned with your school’s improvement goals.
We’ll explore how the upcoming Ofsted 2025 framework can guide your self-evaluation and how a free system review with your Customer Success Manager can ensure your platform works at its best for your team.
Now’s the ideal time to reflect on progress, identify development opportunities, and make sure your use of Schoolip continues to drive meaningful impact.
Alongside this, we will look at self-evaluation for school and college improvement within the iP suite.
With final year exams, assessments, and reviews, it’s the busiest time of the school year. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Self-evaluation is essential for driving continuous improvement within educational institutions. It provides a structured approach for reviewing every aspect of an organisation's performance, from teaching and learning to leadership and operational management. Through thoughtful self-evaluation, schools can celebrate their strengths, identify areas for development, and implement targeted strategies for growth. The iP Suite enhances this process by streamlining data collection, supporting evidence-based reflection, and ensuring alignment with national standards. By simplifying and strengthening self-evaluation, the iP Suite empowers schools and colleges to take informed, strategic actions that lead to meaningful improvement.
At Derventio Education, we understand the importance of staying aligned with evolving expectations. That’s why the updated Ofsted 2025 framework will be seamlessly integrated into the iP Suite as soon as the consultation period ends and the final version is confirmed.
The new framework, shaped by extensive feedback from Ofsted’s ‘Big Listen’ consultation, aims to transform how leadership is assessed. By updating our system in line with this guidance, we’re making it easier for schools to align their processes with what inspectors are looking for, without adding to your admin burden.
Stay ahead of the curve with a system that evolves with you.
Our new Ofsted readiness tool has been added to help ensure that your college or school is fully prepared for an Ofsted inspection. The Ofsted Readiness Tool is designed to simplify and streamline the inspection process, making it efficient and stress-free. Created specifically for school leaders, governors, and MAT executives, it provides everything you need to showcase excellence and ensure compliance with Ofsted requirements.
As the academic year begins to wind down, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on your use of the iP suite. Have you made the most of its features? Is it still aligned with your evolving goals and priorities?
