The Workforce Enablement Platform for Education
We're The National College. We help schools and groups get their whole workforce working together to meet statutory requirements and raise standards, bringing mission-critical workflows, professional development and compliance evidence into one place, so everyone knows what to do, critical work stays on track and leaders spend less time chasing.
Help every school and group turn requirements into action, and action into improvement.
We bring people, actions and evidence together, then link that work to your improvement priorities so the whole workforce helps raise standards.
Five connected modules for the work that matters most
Professional Development
Statutory and role-specific CPD for every role, updated as requirements change. Track completion, then go further into curriculum, pedagogy and classroom practice.
Leadership & Governance
Manage policies, reviews and governance responsibilities in one place, with updates and guidance linked to the CPD that helps staff put changes into practice.
People Development
Bring appraisal, professional growth and improvement priorities together. Link development needs to relevant CPD and turn appraisal conversations into clear actions.
Teacher & Leader AI
AI support built into the platform, helping teachers and leaders move everyday work forward and spend more time on education.
Group Management
Coordinate work across multiple settings, from multi-academy trusts to international school groups. See completion, spot where support is needed and bring evidence together.
Critical work, made easier for everyone.
Know what's needed
When requirements change, we explain what's new and what it means for each role.
Clear to-do lists
Personalised to-do pages show governors, leaders, teachers and support staff what to do next.
Follow up automatically
Reminders go out on your behalf, so leaders chase less and focus where support is needed.
Evidence it, then improve
Clear reports show what's done and what needs attention, linked to your priorities.
