THE CONTROL ROOM

A live control room for your sixth form's post-18 progression.

Who's on track, who's stuck, and what support has already been given — without chasing tutors or rebuilding the spreadsheet every September. Today that covers UCAS statements, evidence, references and at-risk flags across the whole cohort.

BEFORE AND AFTER

From spreadsheets and tutor memory to named students and a next owner.

Most sixth forms run the season out of inboxes and a shared spreadsheet. You can see who submitted; you cannot see who's stuck. Outleap surfaces risk early enough to act on it.

Running UCAS from spreadsheets
  • Progress lives across inboxes and tutor memory.
  • You see who submitted, not who's stuck.
  • Support depends on who knows how to ask.
With Outleap
  • Every student has a status, a flag and a next action.
  • Risk surfaces in September, not October.
  • Work is visible and the next owner is named.
ROUTE-NEUTRAL BY DESIGN

Your UCAS applicants have a process. Your other students need one too.

University is one route. Apprenticeship, employment with training and undecided students need the same visibility — and today every student carries a pathway and appears in the cohort view, whichever route they're on.

Every route in one view

126 Year 13s in a single cohort view, sorted by route and status — not split across a UCAS spreadsheet and a careers list nobody updates.

The same rigour

An apprenticeship-bound or undecided student gets the same status, the same flags and the same next action as a UCAS applicant. No route is the quiet one.

Intervention you can show

When a student is flagged and a member of staff acts, the intervention is logged against the record — so support is evidenced, not just remembered.

ONE STUDENT RECORD

Everything you need before a line-management meeting, on one record.

Open a student and see their pathway, their evidence, where their statement and references stand, the feedback their school has released, and the next action with a named owner. No tab-hunting, no tutor email chain.

Status, not guesswork

Process-state chips show where the work actually is — Submitted, Feedback published, Round 2 — never a quality verdict on a child's writing.

Released feedback in context

Feedback is supervised by your school: a headline summary, priority actions, and section strengths and improvements, all visible on the record. Your school sets the controls and can require staff review before release.

A clear next owner

Each student shows their next action and who owns it. When you ask 'what happens next for this one?', the record answers.

HOW THE SEASON RUNS

Visibility, fair support, and evidence you can stand behind.

The control room turns the application season from a heroic effort into a system. Three moves, repeated across the cohort, every week.

01

See who's stuck

Open the cohort view and read the flags: no evidence entries, undecided pathway, reference not finalised, deadline near. The list of students who need action this week is already sorted for you.

02

Give support in time

Act on the flag, give school-supervised feedback, and log the intervention against the record. Your best teachers spend their time on subject fit and judgement, not chasing line edits.

03

Evidence the process

Every status, flag and logged intervention builds a record of timely, fair support across the whole cohort — ready for a line-management meeting or a governor question.

School-supervised Round 2

This is a strong personal statement that demonstrates genuine intellectual curiosity and a well-articulated connection between academic interests and clinical experience. The opening anecdote is specific and memorable, grounding the reader in a real moment rather than an abstract claim.

The evidence from St Thomas’ shadowing is well deployed, linking observation to analytical reasoning. Consider deepening the reflection on your extracurricular section — the connection to transferable skills could be more explicit.

ASSURANCE FOR SLT

Live assurance, before lagging destination measures arrive.

Destinations data is a lagging measure: it tells you what happened a year after you could have acted. Outleap is the leading signal — at-risk flags and a logged record of intervention let you evidence a coherent, timely and fair application support process across the whole cohort, while there is still time to change the outcome. Today that means the at-risk and intervention evidence on every record; the richer subgroup and equity lens, and the exportable governor-facing Assurance Pack, are in development.
