HOW WE GOT HERE
We built Edu Intelligence because we knew leaders had better things to do.
Better than using valuable leadership time doing work technology should be able to take care of.
Better than spending hours assembling reports.
Better than hunting for evidence they know exists somewhere.
Schools have always been complex places to lead. But the volume of information, expectations and accountability surrounding them has grown enormously.
We think the technology supporting schoolleaders should have grown up too.
That is why Edu Intelligence exists.
IT STARTED WITH LISTENING
Edu Intelligence began as Welbee in 2019 with a simple belief: schools work better when their people can thrive.
We helped schools understand what their people were experiencing and, importantly, what to do about it.
Working closely with hundreds of schools and trusts taught us a lot.
It also made something increasingly obvious.
They were being asked to understand increasingly complex organisations, make good decisions quickly and evidence those decisions clearly
While the things they needed to do that were spread across multiple places.
So we started asking a bigger set of questions...
Why is this happening?
What else is connected to it?
Is what we are doing actually making a difference?
Those questions led to Edu Intelligence.
Not because schools needed another piece of software.
Because leaders wanted a better way to lead.
WHY THE AI ISN’T THE STORY
We’ve never met a school leader who has told us “I need more AI today.”
What they do tell us is they need the right evidence, quickly, so they can make better decisions.
That doesn’t mean the AI behind Edu Intelligence isn’t seriously clever. It is.
But what matters is that a leader can ask their schools (almost) anything and get a clear answer about what’s happening, why and what to do next, without ever
having to look at a dashboard again.
That’s the story.
