Create and Share Subject Reports in Blippit Boards

Reports show moments that teachers have already captured and shared on boards via the app. Together with the AI-powered Curriculum Snapshot, new insights can be had through reporting.

What reports are useful for

Teachers create reports

• to help subject leaders quickly improve their knowledge and understand a subject narrative using the AI-Supported Curriculum Snapshot which gives a view on Curriculum Breadth & Coverage, The Curriculum in Action (lived experience) and advice on Capturing the Narrative Depth.

• to help with curriculum reviews and deep dives
• for governor and SLT updates
• to support work for accreditation frameworks such as
  • Eco-Schools Green Flag
  • UNICEF RRSA
  • Global Neighbours

What reports contain

A report automatically includes these items in a single PDF or Word for:

• 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.

If you choose to get the Curriculum Snapshot too, then this helps you to know what you've got in front of you, the themes it reveals and whether you need to ask other teachers to add more tags or description detail to generate clearer understanding of what's being gathered via Blippit Boards.

How reports are created in Blippit Boards

Reports are built from simple filters and tags. You can filter what you see and report on by 'person/people' too.

• Learn how to filter using tags

To create a report:

1. open the Blippit Boards app (version 3+)
2. filter the boards timeline by tags to get the boards you want to see, for example:
   • subject
   • year group
   • phase
   • any other tag combinations
3. Review the list of boards returned.
4. Optionally, tap the tags filter icon to flick the 'Any/All' switch for more specific reports.
5. You might want a report that centres around moments shared by a specific member of staff, so tap the 'people' icon in the top left corner to select a person on whom to also filter.
6. Tap PDF or Word Report
7. Opt to include a Curriculum Snapshot and check the output language matches what you need e.g. English (default) or Welsh.

A report is generated from the filtered boards and will be shared with you via email to download. This can take a minute or two to land. The download link is active for 60 minutes. If the report isn't downloaded within the hour then the link will expire and a report will need requesting again.

Reports are 100% more useful with properly tagged boards

Tags help drive good reporting and charts.

Because:

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

good tagging means more granular

• reports
• charts

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

• Learn about creating boards where you invite others to be contributors or are yourself

Video in reports (QR codes)

If a board contains video, the report:

• displays a QR code
• scanning the QR code opens the video on a mobile device

‍

Examples of reports schools commonly create

Schools often generate single focus 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

But, the same moments can support multiple priorities without extra workload. More than one focus can be represented in a report simply by filtering on more than one tag.

Good practice for helpful reporting

Reports work best when schools:

• model what a good board looks like
• use Curriculum Snapshot to help teachers understand what may not be immediately apparent
• encourage clear, accurate tagging
• add clear descriptions for context
• keep photo sets purposeful rather than repetitive
• use photos or video where it adds meaning

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 pressure.
