Lead Teacher and English Teacher

I had a fantastic experience with Century and highly recommend it to other educators. Fay Allen, the liaison for Century, has been incredibly supportive and I am excited to continue working with her in the future. I introduced Century to my Year 7, Year 8, and Year 10 ESL classes, and the response from students was overwhelmingly positive. One of the standout features of Century is its ability to keep students engaged throughout their learning journey. Unlike other literacy platforms, Century breaks the monotony and offers fresh and engaging content that students truly enjoy. The platform’s intuitive AI plays a crucial role in differentiating instruction, which is essential in my classroom. With students of varying ability levels, it is crucial to have approaches that cater to their individual needs. Century’s AI adapts to each student’s strengths and weaknesses, providing personalized learning pathways that ensure optimal progress for every learner. I must also commend Fay Allen for her exceptional support in getting started with Century. The learning curve was brief, thanks to her assistance and guidance. Currently, Century is my favorite literacy program, and I look forward to a continued relationship with Fay and the Century team.

Excellent customer service and attention to detail. Consistent SaaS updates, and educator support services, as well as a robust teaching learning platform that students enjoy using, and is enhancing their learning journey.
Georgina Dean found CENTURY:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“On many occasions, teachers will need to plan less differentiation for learning activities (including homework/prep), as Century Tech will cater the learning experiences on an individual student basis.”
- Significantly provides school data“Data is a key factor which supports Senior Leaders in supporting their departments to integrate century tech meaningfully across their curriculum. Data equally enables classroom teachers to identify which students are struggling with certain concepts, because they can see how often a student is visiting a particular nugget, which enables them to provide further 1:1 support with that student. Data helps schools to identify which students are engaging with Century Tech, and how we can further support their learning journey by enhancing experiences.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Teachers are more confident knowing that concepts are being taught but subject matter experts, meaning that they can maximise classroom learning time, focusing on collaborative problem-solving, rather than content consumption.”
- Slightly improves attainment“We will have more data to understand this impact in the near future.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Century Tech is built on reading and video content, meaning that it can be more memorable for students to learn material this way. Students are better equipped to share their understanding of concepts because they have experienced an audio and visual connection to it.”

It has a brilliant UI for students to use and is easily accessible from all devices. The support from our account manager has been fantastic and it has been easily intergrated into our plans to improve English and maths achievement.
Emma Holton found CENTURY:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Students can easily access it from their own devices so teachers don't have to find extra work to suit their individual needs if they have completed classwork. Staff can easily see students levels and areas to work on and this can help guide lesson planning and supplementary work.”
- Moderately provides school data“We are just starting out on this so we are just getting round to start using data but can see that it will guide us to show starting points for our students and progress they have made. We will start using this as part of tutorials/1:1 to show student commitment and participation.”

- Significantly builds student knowledge“Century AI tailors a customise path therefore my students can build knowledge on those areas more relevant to them.”

Century Tech is an excellent tool that saves time for teachers and can extend pupil´s learning. It does take a little time to learn how to use effectives, which for a busy teacher can be difficult to find (hence losing a point), however, once up and running it is a fantastic help which staff, students and parents love.
David Gross found CENTURY:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Apart from for homework, we regularly use Century Tech in maths and English. It removes the marking burden and gives us a quick and easy way to assess understand and gaps within the class. We also use it to support EAL children in English where there are grammatical holes in their knowledge. Furthermore, we use it in science as an assessment tool and as a teaching tool where scientific methodology is concerned (before conducting experiments).”
- Significantly provides school data“Century is used to quickly inform teacher assessment. Typically, we will assess each student using formative data, before then checking our thoughts with the work they complete on Century. If there is a difference, then we would take a deeper dive when making a decision on the children´s ability in that subject.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Planning for Century lessons tends to be quicker than a conventional lesson as the nugget will deliver the teaching. As the lesson progresses, it is very easy to target support in the class, so there is no need to plan "expected" support. Rather, after the first 10 minutes or so, it is easy to see where the teacher time is best spent. Likewise, the plenary is defined by the most common areas that the class struggled with, thus ensuring we make the most of our child facing teacher time.”
- Moderately improves attainment“As we are able to target support, tailor homework and encourage the children to lead their own learning using the learning pathway, Century can have a big impact on attainment. For those children that have a thirst for knowledge, it enables them to find areas of interest and study them before we teach that area in class. As data is stored, we as teachers are quickly able to see whom we need to challenge and stretch.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“Whilst as teachers, we try to illustrate many ways to look at a problem / question, having Century to draw on is like having another teacher voice for the children. They are therefore better able to choose how they wish to learn and so are able to embed, further or consolidate knowledge.”

The score would have been 10, but the lack of content for KS1 makes it difficult to promote Century to teachers in that key stage. More content for KS2 would also be good, as the content available is great, would love more!
Jez Sutton found CENTURY:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Century is a great tool for homework, easy to set up and no marking required.”
- Significantly provides school data“It allows me to see which children understand certain concepts and enables me to predict future outcomes.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Century is a great tool fir pre-teaching and for assessment, very quick and easy.”

Absolutely everything about Century is wonderful. Their support is also second to none. They are always a phone call, meeting or email away and are just fantastic.
Shannon Connolly found CENTURY:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Everything is marked, data is analysed, children's homework is targeted according to their needs - either made harder/easier. It is honestly revolutionary!”
- Significantly provides school data“Great data analysis tool. Really clear to see and identify gaps in the children's knowledge and plan additional targeted support for the children based on this. Children are also set additional nuggets based on their gaps. (Great!)”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Very easy to target teaching and learning to children's needs and additional support based on the gaps which Century Tech identifies.”
- Moderately improves attainment“Homework isn't too easy or too hard - it's targeted for each specific child and allows them to attain at their own level. I also like that retrieval is built in and children are constantly practising.”

CENTURY is an excellent teaching and learning tool with a high impact on my students. They really engage with it.
Cassie found CENTURY:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“I suggest that my staff alternate setting teacher marked and CENTURY homework, so this halve marking (certainly mine, anyway!) We use CENTURY for all cover work- it's perfect as the students can still be taught content and the teacher who is away doesn't have to worry about all the marking when they get back. We also use it to set extra intervention work for students in preparation for the clinics-again, no marking and we can tailor the clinic to their needs.”
- Slightly provides school data“As a HoD I use CENTURY to spy on independent learning that students are doing during revision periods but I don't really use it for school data.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“It's a great starter to see where everyone is so that you can quickly differentiate. It's also good as part of a circus of activities. Having all that data makes lesson planning quicker.”
- Significantly improves attainment“I ran a study on the year 10 students and how they revised and the most successful in the end of year exam had used CENTURY.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“The nuggets are well-written and cover everything they need to know in the specification. It's good for the students to hear different voices (teacher and CENTURY) imparting information. I would always send a student to CENTURY over a text book.”

Century Tech is just an amazing tool. It has allowed us to really close gaps and ensure that no child is being left behind. The children find it engaging and easy to use and enjoy using the videos as they can stop them at any point to process what is being said.

- Moderately reduces teacher workload“Videos are another teacher in the classroom. Immediate feedback allows teachers to see who is getting it without having to mark books themselves.”
- Moderately provides school data“Helps us see who has gaps to close and who we may need to work with more closely. This has then helped improve data.”

The staff at Century have been incredible from first meetings, to integration of century to our school, to ongoing support and how best to use the tool in our SEND setting.
