Edvance
Governance and policy compliance, built for UK schools.
What it is
Most schools manage between 30 and 50 policies at any one time, scattered across shared drives, email and board packs. Edvance replaces that with one platform: a complete policy register, review-cycle alerts, an auditable log of governor approvals, and a readiness snapshot for Ofsted inspections.
Who it's for
- Headteachers and Senior Leadership Teams
- Governors and Trustees
- Clerks to Governors
- School Business Managers and MAT central teams
Key benefits
- Complete policy register with full version history
- Automatic alerts before policies fall overdue for review
- Clear, auditable log of governor and trustee approvals
- Ofsted readiness snapshot highlighting gaps and next actions
- Built by the SAM UK team — 19+ years in UK education software
Edvance is the latest product from the SAM UK team — built after nearly two decades working alongside school leaders. It gives schools a single, evidenced view of where their policies and governance actually stand.
