Every visit adds up.

Owl Impact® records the difference each school visit makes. Nobody adds anything up at the end of the year.

Three people log it. Everyone gets the record.

Businesses

Log your visit in two minutes.

What you get

A dated, costed social value record of every school visit, ready for tenders, ESG reports and contract returns. The school holds the same record, so it can be checked.

Students

Record what they did, and how far they came.

Distance travelled

Students say what they know and how sure they feel about their next step, on the day or over time. The change is their distance travelled.

When they present to other classes, they log who they reached too. Social value, recorded by the young people creating it.

Schools

Get the evidence. Free.

What the school gets

Every session becomes a dated record of careers and work-related experiences, ready for Estyn, governors and your own tracking. No pupil data is held.

How it adds up.

  1. A business visitsWith a ready-made sector pack from one of the homes of Cylfaa.
  2. Everyone logs itThe business logs the visit. Students log what they did and the distance they travelled.
  3. The reports build themselvesFor the school, the business and the sponsor. Nothing to add up in July.
Is it credible?

Social value is worked out with a published proxy and a stated method, so anyone can see how each figure was reached.

The school and the business hold the same record, so it is corroborated evidence rather than a claim. A sponsor is named on every report its funding produces.

Free to schools.

A local business funds the school's year, and is named as sponsor on every report that school produces.
