Capture your contribution to learners' "personal development" and show stakeholders and Ofsted what a difference you make.

The recent introduction of an Ofsted judgement for "Personal Development" means a renewed focus on this important aspect of learning. We know this has always been a strength in AP - now this tool helps you prove it.

Capture and map evidence in less than 60 seconds

Your teachers' time is precious and already stretched - so we enable them to capture evidence of any activity in less than 60 seconds.

Track activities at learner or group level.

Track provision at class, group or learner level - it's up to you

Activities can be quickly mapped to classes, groups or individual learners - or a mixture of both! The tool is designed to fit in with your needs - so you choose. 

If you're a small alternative provision with a highly personalised approach -you may choose to map activities to individual learners so you can create detailed reports showing their "personal development" journey.
