Only reason not a 10 as it sometimes freezes

I feel it is an excellent programme for the students. My biggest challenge is to keep the students motivated as they sometimes say that it is boring.

I really like using it but I would like to be able to create my own quiz from scratch. I also think it is difficult for weaker students to access many of the questions.

Because it does not link to our MIS automatically. As a school that has a lot of student movement it’s really annoying to add new pupils every week and add them to link via SSO. Every other platform we use syncs with wonde or group call.

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.

Century has provided both the college and the learners are great platform to develop and improve English and maths skills which is individualised to each learner. For the college it enables good tracking of progress at both course and strategic level.

Very happy with our use of Spellzone and would like to continue developing the ways in which we use it, particularly with our Year 7 & 8 pupils.

A great resource, but it is a challenge to navigate the site, so convincing staff to use it will be a challenge.

I gave the score 10/10 since GCSEpod has been our main source of lessons ever since. It is also updated every now and then that gives us recent topics for the subjects given.

Having used many different e-learning platforms to date in my career, GCSEPod is by far the leader in terms of interface design and the processes they adopt in order to ensure quality assurance of the materials they provide to users.

Mostly definitely. It helps when you teach a multi grade class as it has planned progression. Great assessment.

Reading Eggs is fun and engaging for children. They are learning to read while enjoying a wide range of interactive activities. They love earning eggs and certificates. We have had great feedback from children, parents and staff who are all loving the program. We also have concrete evidence of the effectiveness of the program through our PTE and NGRT data, all of which has shown a marked improvement.

Implementing Lyfta across Bridgewater High School & The Challenge Academy Trust has had a transformative impact on both our students and teachers. It has broadened our students' global perspectives, nurtured empathy, and provided a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Lyfta is slickly presented and students are able to explore the content intuitively. Perhaps there could be more links to the curriculum and when I first set it up for the students, we had some technical difficulties.

It’s a fantastic resource

Pobble has been a constant in my teaching for around 4 years now. Without it, I lose the attainment of all children within the class to try their best in writing. They want their work to be celebrated, no matter how small the progress is. With the help of Pobble presentations, resources, high quality stimuli, moderation, WAGOLLs and more teachers are able to get the children there!
