SAM Learning

Greg Newton, Leader: SAM learning has been an invaluable tool in our secondary school. We have whole school engagement of 92% of the school and 96% of Year 11 students have actively engaged with the tasks. Students have loved the tasks set and the challenges created. Teachers have enjoyed the time support but the automatic marking of work and the invaliuable QLA fucntion to help with both analysis and future planning. I have found the support from the SAM team immense and have enjoyed leading on driving the use of the software in the school this academic year. Greg Newton (Senior Leader at Tupton Hall School)
Alison Harrold, Online platform lead/ Psychology & PE Teacher: To sign into the platform it only requires them to use their school email for their ID and Password. This is brilliant!! It is easy to reset if they accidently sign themselves out of the platform. This can be done by all staff who have access to the platform. They can access the platform anytime and anywhere – on a school computer, laptop or phone. It has adaptative A.I. that guides students to improve their score if they have not achieved 80%. It encourages students to get a higher score than their friends and climb the leader board as part of our schools house cup competition. They can choose from a range of activities to complete across major GCSE & KS3 subjects.
gavin byford, deputy head: really like it both staff and students really like it
