Kloodle Hub captures what your learners do every day and turns it into profiles, reports and distance travelled: evidence of who they're becoming, not just what they scored.
Written on the day, by the adults who saw it happen. The growth exams cannot see, shown to the people who need to see it.
Capturing it
A member of staff logs what happened in a couple of minutes. The entry is tagged once and then used everywhere: the wheels, the plan, the reports, the passport the young person leaves with.
Distance travelled
Pick a cohort and a period. The dashed line is where they started, the solid shape is where they are now, and every point on it traces back to a dated entry a member of staff wrote. No extra work, because it is the same evidence.
Reporting
A report can carry any part of a young person's profile, and only the parts you pick. Before anything is produced you read the whole thing on screen, reword a sentence, drop an item that should not go to this audience. What you changed shapes that report only: the record itself is never edited to tidy up a report.
On every profile
Whether they turned up, and what they are actually doing about their targets.
Attendance in alternative provision is not a percentage of a fixed timetable, it is sessions offered against sessions taken. Record exactly that, for a week or any range, and decide which periods are allowed anywhere near a report.
Upload a plan or an assessment and Kloodle Hub reads out the targets, then proposes five things the young person can actually go and take part in to get there: in lessons, in their own time, through enrichment or by volunteering. Staff approve them, the young person can read them.
Employers
Employer partnerships worth the name are the third of the book's four Monday actions, and the hardest to sustain on goodwill and spreadsheets. Kloodle Hub is the infrastructure a town signs that pact on.
Alternative provision and the secure estate
An alternative provision is character education, whether or not it uses those words. So is a therapeutic prison. Both are judged on evidence they rarely have time to gather, and both are where this platform does its most serious work.
What the measures can see
The formation is the point, but the inspection is real. Kloodle Hub counts benchmark coverage from the activities your staff already logged, and shows the gaps as plainly as the coverage, because the gaps are what a careers lead can actually act on.
Who it is for
Kloodle Hub was built with specialist schools and is now used across alternative provision, mainstream secondary, multi academy trusts, local authorities and the secure estate.
Statutory plans, a three tier needs model, EHCP aligned evidence and funding evidence packs.
Session structures, regulation, attendance that reflects reality, and evidence for reintegration.
A skills passport, careers and Gatsby coverage, employer partnerships and distance travelled.
Cross setting dashboards, commissioning evidence and earned progression reviews.
Why this exists
“Nobody stands up at a funeral and reads out exam results.”
What gets remembered is who somebody became: how they treated people, what they kept going at, what they did when nobody was watching. Schools shape all of it, every day, usually without ever recording a word of it.
Kloodle Hub is the record. Not a badge collection and not a set of tick boxes for the labour market, but dated evidence of formation, written by the adults who saw it happen.
The statutory deadlines are real and Kloodle Hub meets them. They are not the reason the work matters.
The Character of Place
The word character comes from the Greek kharaktēr: a mark engraved so deep it becomes part of the substance. Places do the engraving; schools most of all. Exams cannot see those marks. Kloodle Hub exists so somebody can.
It did not start with a feature list. It started with that argument, set out in Neil Donnelly's book. Every part of the platform is the argument made practical.
“We become, in part, the places which made us.”
Foreword
“Character is who you are when no one is watching.”
Chapter 3
“The place forms the person, but only when someone takes responsibility for what the place is teaching.”
