How secondary schools use CENTURY
Homework
CENTURY makes it easy to set homework from a library of teacher-made resources to individual students or a whole class. Work is automatically marked and students receive instant personalised feedback with tips on how to improve.
The Smart Assignments feature allows you to set personalised homework for the whole term with just a few clicks.
Lesson planning
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.
GCSE revision
CENTURY makes it simple for students to revise their learning both through independent study and teacher-directed activities.
The adaptive Recommended Pathway on CENTURY acts as a personalised revision plan for every student. As students complete work, they receive questions designed for GCSE practice and feedback on how to improve.
Cover lessons and PPA
Ensure your students are on track even when you're not there.
With CENTURY you can quickly and easily set work for cover lessons that keeps students engaged and challenged. The learning content, along with questions, allows all students to complete work without getting stuck.
Parent engagement
Empower parents and guardians with information to support their child's learning. Share a student's performance at parents' evening or through the Guardian Portal to help parents understand which areas their child needs to focus on.
Intervention groups
Use CENTURY in your intervention groups to quickly identify learning gaps and misconceptions. CENTURY will then create individual learning pathways for each student so they can focus on their key areas for improvement.
CENTURY’s library of learning resources supports non-subject specialist staff, and access to primary resources helps to close gaps from any missed learning.
Why secondary teachers love CENTURY
For us, it’s been a game-changer in terms of managing homework. CENTURY pulls together home learning across the core subjects, and the automated marking and central setting of content means we’re spending less time on admin. This frees us up to do what we do best: really focus on individual students, identify where they’re struggling, and provide targeted support.
[Diagnostics data] helps us to identify weaknesses and consider how our lessons or schemes of learning might need to change. CENTURY really narrows down what exactly pupils are finding difficult, allowing us to dissect the problem and revisit those specific topics. The beauty is we can then redo the diagnostic to see if there’s been an improvement after those lessons.
I primarily use CENTURY for revision purposes, setting 2-3 nuggets per week for Key Stage 3 and 5 nuggets per week for Key Stage 4. CENTURY is now also the go-to for all of my cover lessons. The process of setting cover work on CENTURY takes me about three to four minutes to set up an entire hour’s worth of work for that class to do. It’s so quick and easy to use and very intuitive.
As we have many students, there is not that much time to have one-to-one conversations with each child to discuss their strengths and areas to improve. The minute they log in to CENTURY, they have their own personalised area with strengths and areas to improve clearly labelled for every single student. They like knowing that they are doing really well with one topic, but they need to work on another. If a parent calls in to ask what they need to work on, we can just ask their child to show them their strengths and areas to improve on the platform.
CENTURY has been absolutely critical for time management with self-marking and the ability to instantly understand how the students are performing. Now we have a clear spread of data across all the children, we can report to parents exactly how their children are doing or speak to the pupils directly, and identify what the problem is.
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.
