From heroic, spreadsheet-led support to a visible, fair progression system.
Outleap helps sixth forms move from heroic, spreadsheet-led application support to a visible, fair, evidence-rich progression system. We are a UK company focused on post-18 progression for sixth forms and colleges.
The problem we work on
In most sixth forms, post-18 support depends on individual teacher capacity. Application feedback varies with volume. The students who get the most help are often the organised, confident ones who know how to ask. Non-university students are frequently tracked less rigorously than the UCAS cohort. And leadership wants to evidence fair, timely support, but has no single live record to point to.
The failure mode is rarely a total absence of support. It is that nobody can see the whole picture early enough — the quiet student with no evidence, the high-attainer on five unrealistic choices, the 20 who look fine until October.
Opportunity equity
Opportunity discovery is unequal. Some students have parents who tell them about insight days, summer schools, scholarships and degree apprenticeships. Others only hear about whatever comes up in assembly. We believe a school should be able to make relevant routes visible to every student — not just the ones with the confidence, family knowledge or time to find them alone — and to see whether support is reaching the cohort fairly.
What we build
Evidence Bank
Students capture their experiences, achievements and skills in a structured format. That evidence powers the UCAS personal statement, CVs and cover letters, and applications for apprenticeships, jobs and scholarships.
Application workspaces
The UCAS personal-statement workflow is live, on the 2026 three-question format, with advisory AI feedback that staff can see in full. So is application support beyond UCAS: CVs, cover letters and non-university applications for apprenticeship and employment routes.
Reference Studio
Coming September 2026, not live yet. References will be built from real evidence already in the system, with staff owning the judgement, wording and final sign-off.
Progression intelligence
A live cohort view with at-risk flags and a next owner for every student. The no-route-risk radar, equity lens and governor-facing export packs are in development.
How we work
We free teachers to do the work only they can do. Outleap takes on the repetitive feedback and chasing so staff focus on judgement, guidance and intervention. AI assistance is advisory and bounded: it suggests and explains, staff can see the feedback students receive through normal product views, and decisions stay with people. Safeguarding escalation remains owned by the school's usual routes; automated safeguarding routing is not live for launch. We ship a workable process first and expand it in the open, and we tell schools plainly what is live today and what is coming next.
