A Head told us that they were using Canva instead of Blippit. It wasn’t really about the tools. In many schools, decisions like this reflect workload, familiarity, and cost - not curriculum insight. This post explores what’s really behind that shift, how those decisions are made under pressure, and why capturing evidence isn’t the same as really seeing and understanding what’s happening across your curriculum.

Blippit Boards now allows you to filter curriculum and behaviour data by individual teachers or selected groups. Previously limited to whole-school, key stage, or year group views, this update gives school leaders, subject leaders, and teachers a clearer way to analyse how moments are recorded across staff. By viewing data at a person level, it becomes easier to identify patterns, understand curriculum coverage, support monitoring conversations, and review teaching activity with greater accuracy

Teaching is one of the few jobs where you process your work while you are doing it. There is rarely a clean moment to stop and think. But the thoughts still come: what worked, what didn't, what you'd do differently. This piece looks at why those thoughts matter, what UK research says happens when there's nowhere to put them, and what actually helps. It's not a long read. But it might be a useful one.

Reflect is a private space inside Blippit Boards for the moments that don’t quite fit anywhere else. Not everything that stays with you needs to be shared, structured, or turned into something formal. Reflect gives teachers a simple way to pause, put those thoughts into words, and move on, without creating more work or expectation. It’s there when you need it, and quiet when you don’t, day to day.

We're thrilled to share that Blippit Boards has been named a finalist in the ERA 2026 Awards - in the Collaboration Between School & Supplier category. 🏷️This recognition means a huge amount to us because it reflects upon the schools we work with, not just the product we've built. Real feedback from real headteachers helping us to bring real improvements that schools actually need! The winners are announced on 23rd April at Birmingham. Wish us luck!
