Blackout Technologies Impact Assessment Report, December 2025

This impact assessment has been prepared to provide a clear, concise and evidence-led overview of Blackout’s early implementation across partner schools. Designed with an understanding of the depth and rigour often required in central and local government assessments, this document brings together the key data, insights and risks in a format that is detailed enough to inform decision-making, yet concise enough not to demand extensive time to interpret. Drawing on experience preparing similar assessments for the DfE and local authorities, the aim here is to provide a balanced and accessible picture of progress to date, highlighting both emerging strengths and the areas that will require continued embedding to achieve sustained impact.

We are happy to adapt this assessment to meet the needs of foundations, philanthropists and ESG partners and welcome any feedback or comments. The data and analysis will continue to be updated termly as partner schools progress through implementation, ensuring that impact towards shared goals is monitored, evaluated and strengthened as Blackout continues to make a positive difference.
