When you see things like three million questions have been answered, or 300,000 nuggets have been completed, it's just mind blowing. In order to get to those figures, because of the number of schools that are using the platform right now, it's not just the teacher assigned content. We're talking about children who are also doing things that are outside what their teacher has asked them to do, which I think is just amazing. CENTURY's AI engine encourages students to focus on the right areas for them, rather than just things they find easy. It challenges them to work on the things they need to learn and is highly effective at identifying their gaps in knowledge. It encourages what they learn to be embedded in their long-term memory. CENTURY does that really well by interleaving topics together and recognising where those gaps in knowledge are. Nothing has done as much for our students’ progress during these difficult times as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) provided by CENTURY Tech’s platform. The personalised support to each and every child through clever, automated questioning aimed at encouraging the students to dig deep into their own toolbox, find connections, use prior knowledge, etc., solidifies and future-proofs all learning. The learning opportunities afforded by CENTURY, the reinforcement that it enables for children and the pathways it creates, which allow every student to excel and improve themselves at their pace, are unparalleled. We recently surveyed our primary teachers using CENTURY and were very pleased with the feedback. Every teacher said CENTURY helps with independent learning. Every teacher also said it helped to save them time – a crucial objective of our digital strategy. The survey found that teachers rated CENTURY 9.34 out of ten for ease of use and 9.29 out of ten for whether the platform meets their expectations. Our teachers say... The difference with CENTURY is that it’s much more individually directed, it’s much more bespoke. We are seeing many more hours of usage and put it towards the progress eight increase. I think CENTURY definitely has the potential to improve student learning progress, because of how it helps to make students better independent learners. CENTURY is an integral part of our Trust’s digital drive for education. Students have an individual pathway, staff have live analysis and control of workload, making their feedback more accurate and responsive. We see a desire to succeed from all. Data dashboards mean you can effectively use your time targeting which students need more challenge or support, in specific topic areas. We've noticed an improvement in the scores of children who were using it last year with our SPaG results. And what we found really encouraging was that children who were working below their scores have achieved great results.
