The methods used included research into copyright and data protection, expertise in website creation and marketing, whole team training, usage data, questionnaires, and feedback from practitioners.

It has had a positive impact on pupil learning, teaching, school organisation and leadership. Usage data and feedback from Practitioners, Consultants and Leadership Teams indicate its success.
