The solution

Clare first heard about Intelligent Evidence on LinkedIn. With the school already in the Ofsted window, the timing felt right to try something new.

Following a demo, she began using Intelligent Evidence immediately. Within a day, all core documents had been uploaded, evidence was mapped to the new framework, and gaps were clearly identified. Within a second day, those gaps were filled.

Uploading evidence was straightforward, which meant other members of the SLT could contribute without additional training. This included the SENDCo and Early Years lead, who were able to upload missing evidence such as policies and local offers. Documents could be uploaded in any format (e.g. Word, Excel, PDF) and were recognised within minutes, meaning the team didn’t need to adapt how they already worked.

The platform made suggestions about how existing documents aligned to the framework, but all decisions remained with the leadership team. Clare and the SLT reviewed and approved the evidence, ensuring professional judgement stayed firmly in human hands.
