Seamless onboarding with iAM Compliant: Insights from St John's Digswell
Set in the village of Digswell, St John's CofE VA Primary School is a forward-thinking school, steeped in history. Struggling with compliance and snowed under with physical paperwork, the school leaders turned to iAM Compliant. They needed digital tools and help to make the most of them, and we had exactly what they were looking for.
Working closely with our School Estates & Sustainability Mentor, Jamie Livingston, the school completed their onboarding with us in just 51 days. Here's what the Headmaster, Arnold Worton-Geer, had to say about the onboarding process:

Please provide a brief overview of your background and role as Headteacher at St John’s Digswell.
I am new: a headteacher coming from a previous school that used a different system. St John's Digswell had nothing substantial in place and I wanted to ensure that my school has the right tools going forward.
How were you previously managing compliance and estates at St John’s Digswell? And what was your initial reason for looking into a Compliance Management software provider?
Previously paper-based with no real objective but signing a document that was out of date. Showing our records and dealing with hundreds of files made this very difficult to keep up with all the paperwork. Having one system allows us to follow and keep up to date.
How have you found the access to support from iAM Compliant throughout your onboarding?
Amazing - Jamie is a legend. Really detailed support and was able to take each step at a time. I was able to deploy my team effectively with this.
Throughout your onboarding experience, have there been any highlights or areas you’ve found particularly useful?
Jamie was at the end of an email, I was able to do a Google Meet online around the world - quite literally - and he was able to support me. He is a true champion, I would recommend him and iAM Compliant to other schools.
What areas of the iAM Compliant system are you most looking forward to using?
I love the Asset Register and I am working through the risk assessment sections. My staff previously used a random bit of paper for help desking - now to have it online is truly amazing.
Please provide a quote to sum up your onboarding experience with iAM Compliant.
iAM Compliant is not just a tool that meets the needs of our school, but also a guide of what must be completed. The set-up was simple to follow and with the help of an incredible trainer, was able to complete onboarding effectively.
We're delighted with the feedback from Arnold about his onboarding experience with iAM Compliant.
