National Tutoring ProgrammeNtpTuition

We have been working with Manning's since September and they have been fantastic, supporting us in setting up a robust tutoring system to support pupil progress. They have a thorough knowledge of the National Tutoring Programme and were able to provide supportive guidance on how the funding could be used and also the most effective ways to set up tutoring. Danie (our liaison officer) is amazing. Her communication is exceptional and she will always go the extra mile to ensure that tutoring is set up to meet the needs of our school and pupils. Danie will regularly set up weekly online meetings so that we can discuss the progress of each tutoring phase, making adaptations when and where necessary. She really has been key in supporting us to deliver nearly 2000 hours of tutoring. Johnny is also incredibly supportive, discussing the financial side of the tutoring programme, providing detailed breakdowns of attendance and progress, and also being able to visit the school to discuss plans for the 2023/2024 academic year. As a school we would highly recommend Manning's and we look forward to working with them next academic year.

One-to-one Teacher SupportOnline LearningAttainment Tracking

This is a great service to use as an educational platform and also as a safeguarding children at home tool

I would recommend EDClass for a number of reasons. The first being the that the customer service team are extremely helpful. No matter which member of the team answers the phone, everyone is always there to help no matter what the query. Genuinely really nice people who are very helpful. Requests are always followed up straight away with no delay which is especially helpful for a school as it is really fast paced and things need to be put in place quickly. The second being the accessibility for staff. The daily attendance alerts you receive via email and text mean that you don't have to make time to look at student attendance on the account. This is helpful for me as I have such a busy schedule and don't have time to look everyday.

Inquiry-based LearningGlobal CommunicationIste Standards

My students have loved the LevelUp Village experiences they have participated in. Mostly they cannot wait to receive responses from their favorite students in the partner school. Although they do not know each other personally and do not exchange personal contact information, they make a true connection and are excited to see and hear from their "friends".

It has been a trial / error learning to navigate the dates / tasks / partners being paired with two different groups. One group has been able to progress but the other got stuck when the partner didn't release the videos. Overall it has been super positive - but, it was a little overwhelming for students to jump into the tasks. Thankfully we did celebrations, which they already had some vocabulary base for - but looking forward, i feel like i will have to create materials to help them have some vocabulary base before jumping into the new topics. I'd love to see materials included for that. That would put me at a 10

I am always looking for tools to aid pupils with increasing their attainment / ability in Economics. Actually the pupils that are currently finding it most useful are those pupils who are Year 13 and have already learnt quite a significant amount of content.

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.
