Blippit In Primary Schools

Blippit for Primary Schools

Blippit Boards began with primary schools and their subject leaders continue to have a big influence over how it evolves and innovates. English, Music, PE/Sports subject leader feedback led to the addition of video so that the the physicality of learning could be much more easily shared.  Now discussions to highlight children's oracy, instrumental playing to spotlight musicianship, movement and dance can all be shared in Blippit.

The time, activities, and resources you have as a subject lead and class teacher are finite so Blippit presents much efficient ways to keep tabs on what impact looks like. Afterall, nobody wants to feel like they're pestering colleagues for children's work, add extra photocopying to their day or heaven forbid rely upon the printer for photo hard copies to stick in.

So instead, Blippit promotes a smarter approach to gathering, sharing, reviewing, understanding and reporting on examples of curriculum impact across the whole school.

If a teacher moves on, while their account can be deleted their subject evidence is automatically re-labelled and kept so as not to leave a teacher-shaped hole across subject evidence boards!

Imagine if you could broaden and bring in evidence of Governor visits where the curriculum is a focus. Imagine if teachers could more easily evidence the achievement of children with special needs in the mainstream to help shift the focus from 'below expectations' to something positive. Blippit can be and is used to help schools provide parents with material to support conversations throughout the year too.

Budgets and value for money are a big deal. Unlimited as it is for a school, we like to be unlimited to give busy leaders one less thing to think about.  Unlimited users, boards, reports and charts! Adding and sharing video has now added even greater value for subject leads

Training  Thankfully Blippit Boards has been designed to take advantage of all the transferrable skills teachers already have from using simple social media tools like Instagram. You don't need a £500 onboarding training session to use Blippit because it is designed to be simple, obvious and quick to pick up.

" You know, I think there's so many demands on and so many sort of things that try to sound good but then just need hours and hours and retraining. But with this, it's very instinctive and it's just really nice."

Mrs. F Jackson, former Deputy Head in Cheshire(now Shropshire Headteacher)
