The full platform at a glance

Far more than a digital checklist.

Learning Walks covers the whole process from deciding what to look for through to checking whether the evidence is strong enough to act on. Every school gets the complete platform — the sections below show what is included.

Plan with purpose

Structured, consistent learning walks.

Create guided learning walks around the areas that matter most. Clear focuses, elements and questions help every observer gather evidence in the same way.

✓Start with a ready-made, curated framework
✓Adapt frameworks to match school priorities
✓Organise work around campaigns and walk cycles
✓Schedule activity or start an ad-hoc walk whenever it is needed
✓Keep questions and evidence consistent across observers

Less variation between observers. More confidence in what the evidence is telling you.

Explore frameworks in detail →

Choose a learning walk focus from frameworks, elements and questions — **Choose what matters.** Start from a document, select manually or reuse a previous campaign.

Evidence, not opinions

Keep the evidence attached to the question it supports.

Notes and photographs sit alongside individual questions rather than disappearing into a generic visit record. That gives leaders a clear line from response to evidence.

Evidence-linked responses

Attach a note or photograph directly to the relevant question while completing the walk.

Evidence review

Authorised leaders can review, rate and approve evidence before it contributes to reporting.

Clear audit history

See who completed a walk, when evidence was recorded and how it was reviewed.

Live Learning Walks classroom visit screen with focus areas and supporting evidence — **Designed for the walk itself.** Clear focus areas, visit progress and supporting evidence in one uncluttered view.

Your reports are backed by real examples from classrooms, not unsupported impressions.

Insights you can trust

See the pattern. Check the evidence. Make a better decision.

Explore responses, evidence, coverage and change over time — then move from the headline back to the evidence behind it.

✓Response counts and evidence collected
✓Evidence quality and observer participation
✓Coverage across classrooms and groups
✓Changes between walk cycles
✓Comparisons between compatible campaigns

Campaign dashboard showing locked insight when there is not yet enough evidence — **No false confidence from thin data.** Insight stays locked until enough evidence exists.

Element insight dashboard showing sample strength, evidence depth and observer spread — **Know the strength of the picture.** Sample strength, evidence depth and observer spread stay visible alongside the insight.

Campaign overview

Progress, coverage and the overall evidence picture in one view.

Element & question insight

Drill from framework level into individual elements and questions.

Observer & coverage analysis

Understand participation, observer spread and what has — or has not — been seen.

Trends & comparisons

Compare walk cycles and compatible campaigns side by side, then export reports.

Make participation simple

Less admin for the people doing the walks.

The easier it is to take part, the more complete your evidence becomes.

Magic-link access

Invite a guest to complete a walk securely without another password to remember.

☑

My Queue

Give each user one clear place to see the walks and activities expected from them next.

◷

Scheduled or live

Plan ahead when you need structure or begin immediately when an opportunity arises.

▯

Mobile friendly

Complete walks and capture evidence from a phone, tablet or computer while moving around school.

Designed for schools and trusts

See the wider picture while preserving each school’s context.

Each school controls its own users, frameworks, walks and evidence. Authorised organisation leaders can see activity and insight across the group from the organisation level.

School comparisons are only presented where the underlying framework and data are genuinely compatible. If a comparison is limited or unsupported, Learning Walks explains why instead of creating a misleading league table.

Explore Learning Walks for trusts →

School-level control

Local users, frameworks, walks and evidence remain under school control.

MAT dashboards

Give authorised trust leaders organisation-wide reporting and visibility across multiple schools.

Trust-wide campaigns

Coordinate shared improvement work while retaining school-level context and permissions.

Central frameworks

Manage shared frameworks centrally, with controlled school-specific adaptation.

Fits around the school day

Use the information your school already maintains.

Schedule against lesson periods, rooms, staff, subjects and year groups. Get started quickly with CSV imports for staff, classes, rooms, subjects, year groups and timetables, then keep school information current through supported MIS synchronisation including Xporter.

Secure by design

School data needs more than a privacy statement.

✓ Secure tenant separation
✓ Role-based permissions
✓ Controlled guest access
✓ Login and access audit trails
✓ Secure evidence storage
✓ GDPR-conscious retention and deletion
