Reports and how to create them in Blippit Boards (2026 app ver. 3+)

January 1, 2026

Reports in Blippit Boards bring together the moments your staff have already captured in the app. They are generated directly from existing boards, using the tags, photos, videos, audio and descriptions already added by teachers.

You don’t need to copy content or build separate folders. Reports are simply a natural output of good tagging and evidence capture in Blippit Boards.

As well as the methods outline below, teachers can click on any chart segment filtered by stage or year group to see and then report on the boards displayed automatically.

What reports are useful for

Schools typically create reports for:

  • subject leadership and monitoring
  • curriculum reviews and deep dives
  • governor or SLT updates
  • accreditation frameworks such as:
    • Eco-Schools Green Flag
    • UNICEF RRSA
    • Global Neighbours

Reports help you see related moments together in one place, without printing, emailing or chasing files.

What reports contain

A report automatically pulls through:

  • board titles
  • descriptions
  • tags applied
  • photos
  • videos (via QR codes)

If you download a Word version, you can also type directly into the report to add:

  • strengths
  • next steps
  • areas for development

before sharing it with colleagues.

How reports are created in Blippit Boards

Reports are built from filters and tags.

To create a report:

  1. open Blippit Boards (app version 3+)
  2. filter to the boards you want to include — for example:
    • subject
    • year group
    • phase
    • Eco-Schools / RRSA / Global Neighbours strands
    • any other tag combinations
  3. review the list of boards returned
  4. choose Create report
  5. select PDF or Word

The report is generated instantly from the filtered boards. After selecting your preferred format for the report, an email will be sent with a download link that will beactive for 60 minutes. If the report isn't downloaded within the hour then the link will expire and a report will need requesting again.

Why tagging matters for reports

Tags are the engine of reporting.

Because:

  • teachers add tags to boards
  • tags drive filtering
  • filtering drives reports

good tagging means:

  • accurate reports
  • clear charts
  • easier monitoring
  • less manual chasing

Subject Leaders can also refine or add tags to colleagues’ boards (where permissions allow) to improve the accuracy of reporting.

Video in reports (QR codes)

If a board contains video, the report:

  • does not embed the video file
  • instead displays a QR code
  • scanning the QR code opens the video on a mobile device

This keeps reports compact while still allowing multimedia evidence to be viewed easily.

Examples of reports schools commonly create

Schools often generate reports for:

  • a subject across the whole school
  • a single phase or key stage
  • writing in foundation subjects
  • oracy or vocabulary development
  • inclusion or wellbeing priorities
  • Eco-Schools / RRSA / Global Neighbours accreditation evidence

Because everything is captured once in Blippit Boards, the same moments can support multiple priorities without extra workload.

Good practice for effective reporting

Reports work best when schools:

  • model what a good board looks like
  • encourage clear, accurate tagging
  • add concise descriptions for context
  • keep photo sets purposeful rather than repetitive
  • use photos or video where it adds meaning

This means reports are available on demand and reflect the current body of moments shared from the curriculum, rather than being something created manually at the end of a term under great pressure.
