• Inspectors will consider how well
leaders promote high expectations
and use rigorous systems to drive
improvement, including through
monitoring and developing the quality
of 16 to 19 provision and improving
the progress and achievement of
learners and groups of learners.
• Learning programmes ensure that
they enable learners to acquire
knowledge, understanding and skills,
including, where relevant, English,
mathematics and ICT skills, that
prepare them well for future
progression to further/higher
education and/or sustained
employment.
• Kloodle reflects a student’s
journey from enrolment to
destination. It reflects the mission
and ethos of an institution. We
generate reports that can be used
to measure impact and monitor an
individual student’s progress or a
cohort’s academic development.
• Kloodle ensures learners document
the skills they are accruing.
Knowing how to evidence skills and
developing self-awareness
contributes to a student’s overall
effectiveness during the
progression of their career.

• Learners are typically able to
articulate their knowledge and
understanding clearly and
demonstrate the skills they have
acquired convincingly. The standard
of learners’ work is high and meets
industry standards very well.
• Learners develop personal, social,
employability and independent
learning skills [...] including through
the contribution of non-qualification
or enrichment activities and/or work
experience.
• Kloodle enables learners to display
knowledge of skills through
dynamic uploads (photos, videos,
blogs and documents). Students tag
their skills into these uploads,
providing a physical record of their
skill-set.
• Kloodle evidences enrichment,
work experience and everyday
skill accrual. Kloodle demonstrates
how these activities contribute to
overall employability and personal
development.

• Staff gather a useful range of
accurate assessment information and
use this to give learners incisive
feedback about what they can do to
improve their knowledge,
understanding and skills. Learners are
committed to taking these next steps
and their work shows that almost all
are making substantial and sustained
progress.
• Inspectors will gather evidence about
the progress of current learners
through […] scrutiny of learners’
acquisition of knowledge,
understanding and skills over time as
shown in their work.
• Kloodle provides teaching staff with
real-time demonstrations of
students’ work. Kloodle enables
staff to comment on posts,
facilitating instant feedback, whilst
fostering a culture of continuous
improvement. Learners
demonstrate progression through
each upload.
• Kloodle produces statistics
regarding the progression of
employability skills for each
student. A progression wheel acts
as a snapshot of an individual’s
skill-set. Kloodle allows extraction
of data for external use.

• Learners use information they receive
on the full range of relevant career
pathways […] including employers, to
help them develop challenging and
realistic plans for their future
careers.
• Learners are exceptionally well-
prepared for the next stage of their
education, training or employment
and have attained relevant
qualifications, skills, knowledge and
understanding. They progress to
positive destinations that are relevant
to their career plans.
• Kloodle allows Careers departments
to post a regular stream of careers
information to students, which can
be accessed each time they log into
their profile. Kloodle enables both
local and national employers to
post job opportunities directly to
student cohorts.
• Kloodle encourages an
employability culture to be
embedded within college life,
encouraging teachers to highlight
the development of employability
skills within each lesson. Students
grow increasingly aware of the
importance of skill acquisition.
