Social Proof

Trusted by Schools and Trusts Across England

★★★★★

Lumio has transformed how our SENCO works. The EHCP tracker alone saves her 4 hours a week — and we're actually confident we won't miss an annual review deadline.

The insights page is the first thing I open every morning. My attendance data, safeguarding cases and Pupil Premium gap — all on one screen. I used to spend an hour pulling this together.

The wraparound management tools are incredible. Our breakfast club register, DfE grant tracker and after school payments — all automated. Our admin team can't believe how much time it saves.

Ofsted 2025

Ofsted Ready. Every Time.
Not Just Inspection Time.

The 2025 Education Inspection Framework changed everything. No more single overall grade. Six evaluation areas. A new 5-point scale. An Inclusion area scored separately for the first time. Schools that are data-ready will thrive. Schools that aren't will struggle. Lumio makes sure you're always ready.

The New Ofsted 2025 Framework

1

Quality of Education

Curriculum intent, implementation and impact. Is your curriculum ambitious? Does it actually work?

2

Behaviour & Attitudes

Conduct, attendance, attitudes to learning. Your attendance data, behaviour log and exclusions — all in one place.

3

Personal Development

Character education, enrichment, wider opportunities. Evidence your PSHE, trips, clubs and extra-curricular offer.

4

Leadership & Management

Vision, strategy, governance, staff wellbeing. Your SIP, SEF, governor minutes and budget — auto-populated.

5

Inclusion (NEW)

SEND provision, disadvantaged pupils, EAL, vulnerable groups. The new standalone area. The one schools are least prepared for.

6

Safeguarding

Culture, records, training, DSL compliance. One failing here stops everything else. Lumio makes it watertight.

Inspection-Ready Dashboard — everything an inspector asks for, available in one click on the day

The Inspection Window Is 48 Hours

Ofsted gives schools just one working day's notice. That's not enough time to gather evidence, brief staff, pull attendance data, compile safeguarding records and prepare your SEF. Unless it's all already live in Lumio. Schools using Lumio report spending less than 2 hours preparing for inspection — because every piece of evidence inspectors ask for is already there, current, and a click away.
