Customer Success Stories
A holistic perspective improves strategy and standards across 20-school Trust
STEP Academy Trust, London and South-East
BlueSky helps leaders to identify talent and expertise that can be leveraged to improve standards across the 20-school Trust.
“It really helps us to understand our people but, more importantly, empower them to develop their own career pathway as well.”
Updating the model for whole school teaching and learning
Barnby Road Academy
“Staff have really bought into BlueSky and are now using it to log their own development.
“Before deciding on BlueSky as our new model, we conducted a survey of staff attitudes and it was clear everyone was ready for change. Ensuring that staff would use the new system was essential and thanks to the strength of the support we received from BlueSky, including training and unlimited use of the BlueSky helpline, this need has definitely been met”.
Rethinking data for Ofsted leads to switch from paper to BlueSky
St Stephen’s C of E Primary School, Bradford
The capacity to combine performance data, professional development and whole school targets made BlueSky the ideal digital solution
“It allows staff to feel they are part of the process and they can see themselves as part of the bigger picture. Staff don’t tend to see that usually: they don’t see how their development is connected to other people’s, but with BlueSky, they see at a glance how their appraisal links to national standards and the school’s standards and to the school’s improvement goals and the work that others are doing.”

“Now that everything is on BlueSky, we have hard data to demonstrate how training is addressing skills and development needs directly and the impact it is having on the academy not just immediately but in the longer term.”
