Strategic insight shapes a stronger learning future for Star Academies

With a growing network of schools and a focus on continuous improvement, Star Academies recognised the need to review and evolve its learning strategy.

But the challenges were layered:

• Disconnected systems

• Unclear team capacity

• Gaps in digital content and platform alignment

• A desire to improve governance and learning delivery

Star needed a clear view of their current landscape and a roadmap for transformation.

The solution

Jam Pan conducted a holistic Learning Landscape Review, assessing people, processes, and technology across the trust. Our work focused on four key areas:

Skills, Capabilities & Capacity
We reviewed the L&D team’s structure, identifying gaps and helping shape a future-fit operating model.
Organisational Structure & Collaboration
We addressed barriers to communication and alignment, uncovering talent gaps and optimising team engagement.
Learner Experience & Workflow Design
With learners at the heart, we streamlined processes, reduced friction, and enhanced the overall experience.
Systems & Technology Strategy
We reviewed all core platforms and integrations, delivering recommendations for future-ready learning infrastructure.

This wasn’t just about technology—it was about aligning people, purpose, and process.

The outcome
