Why primary schools love CENTURY

We spoke to our primary schools and compiled the top reasons why they love CENTURY:

1. Personalised Learning and Student Independence

CENTURY’s AI-driven platform tailors learning pathways to each student, supporting them at their own level and pace. Primary schools use CENTURY to foster a sense of ownership over their learning and develop independent study skills.

• “CENTURY has proved to be an invaluable tool…catering to the individual needs of each student.” – Josh Cullen, Luddington and Garthorpe Primary
• “It gives the children that instant feedback and can direct them with nuggets to access next.” – Clare Ogle, Sandcross Primary

2. Instant Feedback and Increased Student Engagement

The platform provides instant feedback, which is great for keeping younger students engaged and motivated. The platform’s streaks and badges add to this engagement by giving students achievable goals and visible rewards for their efforts.

• “The streaks feature has been particularly effective in motivating students to stay engaged and focused on their learning.” –  Cheryl Shirley, LEO Academy Trust

3. Efficient and Targeted Intervention

CENTURY’s diagnostics or nuggets can be set in advance of a unit of work or lesson to help teachers in their planning. It identifies knowledge gaps and provides pupils with relevant content to address these needs. Teachers can use CENTURY to respond quickly to class trends, either by displaying a question that learners got wrong on the board or through reinforcing a recent lesson.

• “CENTURY’s data analytics have allowed us to pinpoint knowledge gaps and proactively address them.” – Cheryl Shirley, LEO Academy Trust
• “The idea with this system is “keep up, not catch up”. We don’t wait six weeks to plug a gap, we do it the week that it’s taught.” – James Gabrielides, Sunny Bank Primary School 

4. Data-Driven Insights and Reduced Teacher Workload

CENTURY’s analytics give teachers easy-to-understand data on student progress, allowing them to focus more on what they do best, teaching, rather than marking and other administrative tasks. Teachers can use CENTURY’s dashboard to identify which students require extra support or challenge.

• “It’s really clear. You can see the percentage scores of the children…it identifies which children require additional intervention or greater stretch.” – Clare Ogle, Sandcross Primary
• “Through regular assessments and AI-driven algorithms, CENTURY provides teachers with comprehensive data on students’ strengths and weaknesses. This data enables teachers to make informed judgements about pupils’ attainment levels and identify areas for improvement.”  – Josh Cullen, Luddington & Garthorpe Primary School

5. Support for Homework and Parental Engagement

CENTURY is also valuable for homework, offering a more effective alternative to traditional worksheets. CENTURY helps reinforce learning at home and enables parents to better support their child’s progress.

• “A lot of parents were absolutely mind-blown with how it works.” – Benjamin Bailey, Summerhill Primary
• “CENTURY’s reporting system ensures seamless communication with parents. Regular updates can be shared, highlighting the progress made, areas targeted for development, and suggested strategies for support. This enables parents to actively engage in their child’s education, fostering a strong partnership between home and school.” – Josh Cullen, Luddington and Garthorpe Primary

6. Cost and Resource Savings

CENTURY comes with a bank of ready-made videos, slideshows and assessment questions with instant feedback, saving teacher time sourcing materials. The online platform also reduces the need for printed resources, helping schools save on material costs and printing. 

• “Definitely, it’s been helping us greatly to reduce our printing costs and provide instant feedback to the children during a lesson.” – Clare Ogle, Sandcross Primary
