Lighter workload, clearer thinking.
Stop drowning in emails.
Start leading with confidence.
Headteachers spend up to 3 hours a week managing DfE updates, Ofsted guidance, and sector news. Most admit they’ve started missing things because the volume is too high. Headlite fixes that — one personalised briefing each week, filtered to your school’s phase, type, and context. Reclaim your time. Stay on top of everything that matters.

Sound familiar?
As a headteacher, you know you should be reading everything. But the volume has become impossible — and the things you miss are the ones that come back to bite you.
Information overload
DfE updates, Ofsted changes, research findings, sector news — it never stops. You can’t read everything. And the longer you leave it, the bigger the pile gets.
Compliance anxiety
New statutory requirements. Deadlines you find out about too late. The sinking feeling that somewhere in that unread pile is something your school needed to act on weeks ago.
No time to act
Even when you know about changes, you’re a headteacher — not a policy writer. Turning updates into documents, briefings, and action plans takes time you don’t have.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Headlite replaces the pile. One weekly briefing, personalised to your school, with everything filtered, summarised, and ready to act on.
One briefing. Everything that matters.
Every update from DfE, Ofsted, EEF and more — filtered to your school and summarised so you know exactly what it means for you. Colour-coded by category so you can see at a glance what needs action, what’s a deadline, and what’s background reading. No more inbox archaeology.
Never be caught out by a deadline.
Every compliance deadline, census date, and key submission tracked and personalised to your school type. Sync your deadline calendar directly to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar — they update automatically. No manual entries. No missed submissions.
Intelligence that knows your school.
Every briefing includes an AI insight specific to your school — your PP%, your SEND profile, your phase, your context. A maintained primary with 15% PP gets different intelligence than an academy secondary. That’s the point. Not generic summaries — actionable intelligence for your school.
From briefing to document in one click.
Turn any update into a staff briefing, governor report, policy template, parent letter, or action plan — tailored to your school. Stop sitting in your office reading 118-page white papers. Generate the summary, get back out into your school.
How It Works
Built for headteachers who need the full picture without the full reading list. Set up in 2 minutes. Personalised from day one.

Your personalised feed is ready
From your first login, every update is filtered to your school’s context. DfE, Ofsted, EEF and more — summarised, colour-coded, and ranked so you know what needs your attention first.
Sync your deadline calendar
Connect your Headlite deadlines to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar in one click. They update automatically as new deadlines are added. You’ll never be the last to know about a submission date again.
Generate resources on demand
Turn any briefing into a ready-to-use document with one click. Staff briefings, governor reports, policy templates — all tailored to your school. From update to action in minutes, not hours.

Tailored to your school
Your school profile — phase, type, PP%, SEND%, deprivation index, and your role — means every briefing, every deadline, and every generated document reflects your context.
The most common pre-signup question we hear is: ‘Will it actually be relevant to my school?’ The answer is yes — because it’s built around your school specifically, not a generic template for all schools.
Set up takes 2 minutes. Enter your URN, confirm your details, choose your sources. No pupil data. No staff data. Just the publicly available context that makes your briefings genuinely useful.
What school leaders are saying
I did the trial and knew straight away that it would streamline things. £69.99 felt low risk, high gain.
My inbox was filling with DfE documents with date changes. I had stopped looking regularly and was missing bits. Headlite fixed that.
All of the information in one place — broken down into what needs action first and what is just for information.
This will save summarising the updates from the DfE and Ofsted plus learning about other updates I would never normally be aware of. Game changer.
Built by someone who gets it
Headlite was created by a former headteacher who spent years drowning in the same emails, chasing the same deadlines, and building the same documents from scratch. This isn’t a tech company guessing what schools need — it’s a tool built from lived experience.
No pupil data. No staff data. GDPR-safe. Just your school’s publicly available context, used to make your briefings relevant.
