Use the data insights to track pupil performance and make decisions on what to teach next. The CENTURY platform can be used in various ways within your classroom, from flipped and blended learning to independent study.
Save time on resource creation with our library of high-quality learning content, or experiment with time-saving features within the CENTURY Labs area.
11+ preparation
Make blanket revision a thing of the past. CENTURY helps you target revision so pupils can focus on their individual areas for improvement.
The 11+ specific courses contain videos explaining and modelling the key concepts for verbal and non-verbal reasoning, with hundreds of practice questions. .
Breakfast & after school clubs
Make interventions in these sessions more effective. Students can either complete their own personalised recommended pathways or work with a teacher to address their learning roadblocks.
Parent engagement
Empower parents and guardians with information to support their child's learning. Share a pupil's performance at parents' evening or through the Guardian Portal to help parents understand which areas their child needs to focus on.
Why prep schools love CENTURY
For us, it’s about fostering independent learning and ensuring the children take ownership and accountability for their own learning. Parents are very grateful for this aspect. In terms of student progress and teacher workload, CENTURY is highly beneficial as a measurable, constant resource. The instant results provided by the platform significantly reduce teacher workload, as the teachers don’t need to mark it or the students get immediate feedback.
CENTURY’s verbal and non-verbal reasoning courses, which have a robust curriculum mapped out focusing on the 11 plus, have really helped us and benefited our children. CENTURY is the only online platform we use, but we supplement it with past papers and textbooks for a digital and analogue balance. Our Year 6’s have performed incredibly well during the 11 Plus gaining over 130 offers from independent senior schools. This is a brilliant achievement resulting in an average of three offers per child. This is down to the great work from the teaching staff at Rosemead and their use of CENTURY in their lessons.
We have conducted several surveys with parents, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Many parents have commented along the lines of, “You’ve given us our lives back.” Children appear less stressed, and the homework is seen as more purposeful. They now have learning material that they are eager to engage with, as well as the opportunity to complete extra work if they wish.
The best thing about [CENTURY] is that it is built for people who do not have time. We like to have something that you can pick up and learn very quickly and easily. The children took CENTURY on so quickly because it is a platform that is really user friendly. There is a huge amount of features built in, and it offers a huge amount of real teaching. Parents love it, because if their children have any questions, they can take a look at a CENTURY nugget and work it out together.
FAQs
CENTURY’s main functionality within the Recommended Path and the data dashboards leverages cutting-edge, proprietary non-generative AI technology. These AI models analyse previous performance on CENTURY to identify strengths, gaps in knowledge and misconceptions, using this analysis to predict how a student performs next. These predictions are in turn used to make personalised recommendations on what they should study next.
CENTURY incorporates rules alongside the AI model predictions to ensure that recommendations are appropriate and beneficial. These rules include specific boundaries to avoid potential bias and ensure recommendations are fair and effective for all students.
This AI system is built, hosted and trained in-house on billions of rich, real-world learning interactions from students around the world. As a result, CENTURY’s recommendation system is uniquely informed for teaching and learning.
CENTURY also offers optional features which use generative AI technology, also known as Large Language Models, or LLMs. All CENTURY features which use generative AI have ‘GENai’ in their name, so that it is easy for teachers to identify them. In these features, CENTURY uses an externally created LLM (for example, OpenAI models) for particular aspects of the tool, but we add our own guardrails on top of this to ensure safety and reliability. CENTURY does not send student or teacher personal information to the LLM.
Some of these features allow students to input text which is then shared with the LLM. Students cannot use these tools unless a teacher approves their access. All text added by students can be seen by teachers, and we have specific safeguarding processes built in. There is no conversational interface for the student to interact with the LLM directly.
