Dragon's Teaching provides us with flexible solutions and the ability to expand our language programme and provide a wide variety of options for our children.

It was good for the children to learn something different that isn't usually offered within our curriculum but is spoken by a number of children within our school community.

I value the creativity of your program and find it to be the most unique literacy program I have ever used. I am really disappointed that staff are not interested in any online program that they need to pay for.

We enjoyed the material. Some direct contact line of communication which is more personal would be helpful. Also the option to pause a student rather than cancel would be better.

Unifrog is the best package that we have bought into. It does have some excellent 'off the shelf' elements to do with careers, PSHE and work placements, but the driving change for us is around the Activities, Interactions and Competencies tool. Essentially, together with the pupil, we use Unifrog to record what they do through school (trips, speaker visits, placements), what they do outside of school (clubs, jobs, charitable opportunities) and how they are developing their key employability skill set. When done properly, Unifrog engages pupils and gives them an edge over others. The support Unifrog offer is also outstanding; never to busy to help teach you how to get the most out of the platform for your school priorities. Could not do this job without it now!

This is so much more than just a fully comprehensive careers platform. The volume of resources available have helped to redevelop our entire PSHE programme, improve the impact of mentoring in tutor time, and ensure students have access to impartial careers information. In addition, the level of training and support provided by Unifrog is second to none. It’s an absolute no brainer!

The idea of the system is fantastic, however, the system still seems to have noticeable glitches that don't allow for accurate assessment. We have experienced problems with deleting classrooms and creating courses. The children often been left confused as the answer inputted has been marked wrong when it is clearly correct. The children do not use the whiteboard feature as it is too small.

It is really good to support pupils with the final push before the exams

I have recently had the wonderful pleasure of a deep dive in PE from ofsted with a great result of 'good' across all areas and excellent subject knowledge as a PE lead. I genuinely believe that this was possible through the support of Real PE platform and supporting documents. Training and evaluative lesson plans to hand, that I was confident in my PE curriculum, to articulate and demonstrate through lesson observations the immense impact that Real PE has on all children's physical literacy and personal development.

I have sat with PE leads and personally recommended the platform out. It's not so much about the actual platform but the support I have received from Matt and Rupert. When I ad Ofsted, they were the first people I phoned, the support me to not only support my school but progress with my confidence and my own career too. They have always listened to me and supported any issues I have had. They have always been on the other end of a phone when I have become stuck and they are so inspiring when they enter the school. Children look up to them and teachers want to teach like them. Teachers at my school feel incredibly confident now with teaching PE, when we started this journey, PE was our weakest area of the curriculum. In October, my Headteacher put PE forward to Ofsted as it is now our strongest. The platform is great and there is support for every single area possible. 1-1 meetings are always so supportive of the schools journey. Meetings with other RealPE members is beneficial so we can all discuss new aspects of the platform or discuss new problems/solutions. I cannot recommend RealPE enough - they have been fantastic.

I find Kide science to be a very useful tool with preschool (6 year olds) kids. It is motivating, interesting and made super easy for the teacher. Even with our special learners it has been a positive learning experience.

I think this is a resource that could be really good. I'm looking forward to seeing the differential pathways. My only feeling is the teacher shouldn't have to go through the course like the student to go through with some students this should be built into the teacher lesson plans so they can just click on sections the students might need explaining

The resources are outstanding, student friendly. DC360 is very user friendly and the fact you can access on any device is so inclusive. I am particular wowed by the option to access the resources in any language which is so helpful to EAL students and reduces workload for teachers.
