Seneca Learning

Jack, Head of Sixth Form: I love it, but wish the amount of topics was wider e.g. History doesn't have all the available A Level topics.
Dafydd Humphreys, Interim Deputy: It saves so much time and the pupils engage with it well - support is also very responsive and training knowledge base covers all angles.
Enrique, Head of Geography: No videos or revision boosters for students

Bob.bob, Parent: TERRIBLE! She has been stuck here, on 1 question for 3 hours trying every answer, we've watched the video, googled it, I don't know what to do! SO disappointed! My child has cried 10+ times because of this!
Ccted, Parent: Don't often recommend apps etc but feel that the set up with the emails, parent portal, the bookwork checks and videos work well.
Parent, Self employed: Really unhappy with this ap and hope the school will reconsider it, my son is really good at math and enjoys his lessons, since the introduction of this app my son dreads maths and the automatic homework he’s spending hours frustrated trying to get it correct and the videos are no help at all please bring back hegarty maths, this app denotivates students and my son has gone from enjoying maths to dreading it. This is not how it should be.

Set Up

Seneca Learning

Schools have the option to integrate Seneca with their MIS, whether it is SIMS, Arbor, SchoolBase, iSAMS or any other provider. If they do that, it takes no time to set up, as all information is automatically synced.

If this option is not used, then students and teachers need to manually create accounts and teachers must invite students to join their classes. It's a very easy and straightforward process.
