About The Headteacher’s Report

Education technology with people at its heart

We help schools and multi-academy trusts bring important information together, reduce reporting workload and communicate more clearly with governors and trustees.

Behind the technology is an experienced and approachable team that understands the realities of school leadership. We listen, solve problems and provide friendly support whenever it is needed.

It started with a shared understanding of schools

The Headteacher’s Report was founded by Neil and Matt in 2017 after they met while working together within education technology.

Their friendship survived being from opposite sides of the Pennines, and so did their shared belief that reporting to governors should be clearer, easier and less time-consuming for school leaders.

The first Headteacher’s Report was created for a junior school in Birmingham. That school remains a customer today, something that says a great deal about the relationships we aim to build.

Since then, our products have developed to support individual schools, federations, multi-academy trusts and dioceses across England. The technology has moved forward considerably, but our approach remains personal, practical and grounded in what schools genuinely need.

Knowledgeable, supportive and straightforward

These principles guide how we develop our products and how we work with every school and trust.

1

We listen first

The best improvements come from understanding the people who use our products and the challenges they face.

2

We understand education

Our work is informed by school leaders, governance professionals and people with extensive experience across education.

3

We make technology useful

Technology should reduce work and make information clearer—not introduce complexity for the sake of it.

4

We remain available

Friendly training and ongoing support are part of the service, not an optional extra once a subscription begins.

Built with schools, not simply sold to them

Our products continue to develop through conversations with headteachers, trust leaders, governors, governance professionals and education specialists.

That feedback helps us create reports and dashboards that are practical, professionally presented and focused on the information governing boards and trust leaders actually need.

We combine education knowledge with thoughtful technology, while making sure professional judgement and school context remain central.
