Emails reduced by 48%
When Penistone Grammar set out to reshape teacher workload at the school, improving communication was top of the agenda.
Their Approach
They started by issuing a staff survey, the results of which revealed the many different forms of communication typically received by form tutors:
Emails - Tutor tray - MIS - Tutor meetings - Briefings - Students
They analysed the average number of emails received per individual over a 30-day period to understand the volume being received,
Average number of emails 387
Their chosen solution was Frog - here's what they put into action:
Placed all policy documentation and notices on Frog
Set clear and consistent rules for communication practice
Removed other methods, for a single source of truth
The Impact
Staff no longer raising communication as an issue
Every stakeholder has access to the information required
2017-18 number of emails dropped by 48%
