Carey Knight found Whizz Education:

• Provides school data“Assessment and progress information is used to support Annual Review meetings, track student progress and support the tracking of homework. The information is used in parent reports and shared at parent progress evenings. The data is also useful for helping us to group our students accurately and provides support in planning as we are able to track students gaps and next steps.”
• Reduces teacher workload“Each of our students is able to work at a level appropriate for them without the teacher having to plan or resource anything. Students experience a personalised tutoring programme which they can access at home and in school without the need for anyone to explain what to do as the programme offers help if needed. Maths Whizz also enables teachers to assess students across all areas of the curriculum and review their strengths and next steps both individually and as a cohort very easily. Interactive resources can be used during lessons and printable worksheets are available to help embed the learning.”
• Reduces attainment gap“The fun, interactive programme is very engaging for the students to use so they are very motivated to log on and practice their skills regularly. It really helps to close the gaps that are easily missed when teaching whole classes and gives the opportunity for students to consolidate skills and improve fluency by using the short, recall activities regularly. Many students have made progress of over 12 months in a 5 month period. We have students who when they started in Year 7, were working at lower key stage 2 level and are now access GCSE in Year 10.”
• Improves teaching efficiency“Maths Whizz assessments show clearly students strengths and next steps so lessons can be used to address these effectively at the appropriate level. The tutoring programme enables all students to working at the same time on completely different things according to their next steps.”
• Improves parent engagement“Parents are able to support their child at home so can see what their child is working on and offer support if needed. Parents are provided regular updates with assessment and progress information from Maths Whizz. Many parents have reported that they have learnt something new whilst supporting their child!”
