Introducing Nautilus

THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PLATFORM

Infant · Junior · Primary · Middle · Secondary · FE · SEND · AP · International

After years of performing standalone, time-consuming observations and monitoring, we decided that there had to be a better way.

Accurately capture and evaluate your daily teaching and learning. Perform lighter-touch, more efficient learning walks, lesson visits, book studies and surveys with your iPad or tablet. Add tagged photos and videos to spotlight best practice, inclusive provision and curriculum impact. Provide timely and supportive peer feedback, direct from your device.

As your team capture and evaluate all of the great work that you do, we can help you to build a more comprehensive overview, using our powerful school improvement tools to secure impact.

View everything in one place with your AI powered leadership dashboard, with live strategic analysis, reports and summaries.

Create your own toolkit with our built-in editing suite. Create your own walks, learning snapshots, book studies and surveys in minutes.

Use your database of insights to generate one click self-evaluation reports for your inspectorate, making 'evidence' the by-product of what you already do.

Make your appraisals more meaningful. Create teacher portfolios, adding contributions as the year unfolds, rather than 'book ending', adding unneccessary pressure points to your diary.

Add our new Pulse, executive dahsboard. One dashboard, multiple schools.

Nautilus is a unique partnership of experienced school leaders and talented software developers. We’re now helping thousands of busy and innovative leaders to prioritise time and energy, leaving school each day feeling confident and secure about standards in the classroom.

We help busy school leaders to secure clarity and confidence.

‘After a short period of time we can already see the benefits that the platform has delivered. Presenting clear areas for development and making improvements happen quickly.’

R Shaw, Headteacher. Lowerhouses Junior and Infant school

We know that school leaders love a good adventure story!
