Arc Education – Arc Maths App
Any maths teacher can tell you what happens when they briefly revisit a maths topic. The class are adamant that they have never seen it before. But they have because they were taught it 3 weeks ago and it’s in their books. Not just that – they’ve covered it every year for the last 3 years as well. So the lesson is hijacked (again!) by something that should only have taken a couple of minutes.
This is why we built Arc Maths App. Pupils forget, and with maths that matters because what they learn next builds on what they have learnt before. Covering the whole of the KS3 and KS4 curricula, Arc Maths is a personalised retrieval practice app that incorporates spaced practice to help pupils retain and recall core maths knowledge and skills. So whilst pupils are learning new concepts in class, Arc Maths is running along behind making sure none of it is forgotten. Taking only 10 minutes, a session of Arc Maths makes a highly effective lesson starter, form time activity, intervention task or homework. We made it to make an impact – not just on pupils’ attainment but also their confidence.
Bedrock Learning – Bedrock Vocabulary and Bedrock Mapper
Language is the foundation of all education. A child’s vocabulary at the age of 4 is a reliable predictor of academic attainment at 18. According to Professor Kate Nation (2018), “low levels of vocabulary set limits on literacy, understanding, learning the curriculum and can create a downward spiral of poor language which begins to affect all aspects of life”. However, there are limited resources available to support teachers in this vital area.
Our mission is to support and ensure pupils have the language they need to engage with the curriculum and flourish in school and beyond. Bedrock Vocabulary is our digital curriculum that explicitly teaches pupils advanced English (Tier 2) vocabulary through a series of engaging, dual-coded and story-focused activities; while consolidating pupils’ learning using intelligent algorithms. It was also designed with teachers in mind.
Our application is self-marking with many tracking reports available to save teachers’ valuable time, making it suitable for blended and remote teaching.
Our latest technology Bedrock Mapper offers a robust solution for teachers to teach, assess and reteach subject-specific (Tier 3) vocabulary.
Hundreds of schools all over the world are now using our innovative tech to narrow the language gap and improve their pupils’ outcomes.”
CraignDave – Smart Revise
Smart Revise is an online course companion for students and teachers of GCSE and A Level computer science. It redefines revision as a continual practice throughout the course and not just at the end.

NetSupport – classroom.cloud
Co-produced with teachers, classroom.cloud is a classroom management and teaching platform with eSafety tools, optimised for remote and blended learning across a range of devices, platforms and locations – fitting perfectly into any school or MAT.
This easy-to-use solution connects to students via pre-populated class lists and teachers can see thumbnails of connected devices on their screen. They can lead learning in real time with intuitive tools: broadcasting their screen and audio directly to students, plus interact with them on surveys, questions, chats and answer help requests.
Keeping students on task is simple, as classroom.cloud shows not only the current application they’re using, but also the ones running in the background. Teachers can also define ‘allowed’ and ‘restricted’ lists of applications/websites to keep everyone focused, which is extremely valuable where learning is remote.
Providing a safe environment for students as they learn online is essential. Step forward, classroom.cloud&’s new online safety toolkit. Its keyword monitoring tool seeks out any concerning student activity, spots online safety trends and uses contextual intelligence to help identify any students potentially at risk.
Independently evaluated by Education Alliance Finland, classroom.cloud scored 94 percent for its pedagogical approach and 4.07 out of 5 for learning engagement.”
