Schools and Academies Show 2026

Derventio Education is delighted to be attending the Schools & Academies Show 2026, taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 18–19 November. You’ll find us at Stand C13, where the team will be sharing how SchooliP helps schools and multi-academy trusts connect their improvement processes and turn priorities into coordinated action.

The show offers a valuable opportunity to meet colleagues from across the education sector, exchange ideas and discuss the challenges facing school and trust leaders. We’re looking forward to hearing about your priorities for this academic year, understanding how your current processes work and exploring where a more connected approach could make a difference.

For many schools and trusts, self-evaluation, improvement planning, quality assurance and staff development involve information spread across several systems, spreadsheets and documents. Bringing that information together can take considerable time, making it harder to see how activities connect, evaluate progress and identify where support is needed.

SchooliP brings these processes together in one platform, helping leaders establish a continuous cycle of reflection, planning, monitoring and development. By connecting self-evaluation and improvement priorities with appraisal, CPD and quality assurance, schools can build a clearer picture of the work taking place and use evidence to inform their next steps.

For multi-academy trusts, this also supports greater consistency across schools. A shared framework can help leaders establish common expectations, review progress against agreed priorities and identify areas for collaboration, while retaining flexibility for each school’s context. Trust leaders can access a wider view of improvement activity, helping them direct support and share effective practice across the group.

Throughout the event, visitors to Stand C13 can meet the Derventio Education team, see SchooliP in action and discuss how it could support their organisation. Whether you’re reviewing your approach to self-evaluation, looking to strengthen the connection between CPD and school priorities, or seeking a simpler way to bring together trust reporting, we’d welcome a conversation.

We’re also looking forward to catching up with existing SchooliP customers, hearing how you’re using the platform and discussing your plans for the year ahead. Your experiences help shape our understanding of what schools and trusts need from their improvement systems.
