Eighteen strands. Evidence, not assertion.
A skills passport students actually want to collect, verified by staff and printed at the end of each key stage.
It is also the cleanest evidence a school has for personal development at inspection.
Eighteen strands
One radar a child, a parent and an inspector can all read, mapped against curriculum content.
Evidence, verified
Students log their own, staff verify it. Badges are earned against evidence rather than attendance.
Houses
Preference-led sorting, a reveal event, and points visible the same day. Belonging, engineered.
Pathways
Foundation Stage curiosity through option choices, work experience, applications and alumni.
Eighteen strands, evidenced rather than asserted.
Skills are logged from lessons, house events, activities and life outside school. Students log their own evidence and staff verify it, which is what makes the record worth collecting and what makes it credible to a university or an employer. A printed souvenir passport at the end of each key stage gives the thing a physical life.
Careers that starts long before Year 12.
A pathway that runs from Foundation Stage curiosity through subject choice, work experience, university application and alumni contact. The skills evidence a student has been collecting since Year 3 is the raw material for the personal statement, which is the point of collecting it.
Full functionality
Every workflow below is specified with its trigger, its actor, the screen it happens on, the step sequence, the permissions and the edge cases.
01The skills framework
- Eighteen strands covering cultural capital, enterprise, sustainability, civic impact, collaboration, communication and more.
- Mapped against curriculum content, so skills development is planned rather than claimed after the fact.
- Age-appropriate descriptors per phase, from Foundation Stage to Sixth Form.
- One radar chart that a child, a parent and an inspector can all read.
02Evidence and verification
- Evidence logged from lessons, house events, activities, service and life outside school.
- Students log their own evidence and staff verify it, which is what makes the record theirs.
- Badges earned against verified evidence rather than against attendance.
- Verification queue for staff that takes seconds per item rather than an evening per class.
03Belonging and houses
In a school where every child arrives as a stranger, belonging has to be engineered rather than hoped for.
- Four houses with a preference-led sorting process and a reveal event.
- Mixed evenly across classes, so a house is a community rather than a label.
- House points visible to the student the same day, because delayed recognition is not recognition.
- Sorting is generated as a proposal and confirmed by a person, like everything else involving judgement.
04Careers pathway
- A continuous pathway from early curiosity through option choices, work experience and destination.
- Guidance conversations recorded against the student, so the next one starts where the last finished.
- Labour market information and pathway comparison at the point a choice is made.
- Provider encounters and employer engagement logged as evidence.
05Applications and destinations
- University and college applications tracked with references, deadlines and offers.
- Personal statement drawn from years of verified skills evidence rather than from memory.
- Destination data captured at leaving and maintained through the alumni record.
- Alumni willing to mentor become a resource the next cohort can actually reach.
06Inspection evidence
- The skills framework evidences the personal and social development and innovation skills standard directly.
- National identity provision tracked as its own strand with its own evidence.
- Enterprise, sustainability and civic impact demonstrated with dated, verified examples.
- No separate evidence-gathering exercise, because the evidence is the everyday record.
More of the platform
Several schools, one platform. Shared standards where they help, local autonomy where it matters.
Enquiry to enrolment in one pipeline, with the lead funnel, assessment days and offers in the same place as the record they create.
One record per child, composed from every department, with pastoral, inclusion and safeguarding built into it rather than bolted on.
