Technology

We work hard to be at the forefront of educational innovations. We utilise technology, e-learning and social media to our advantage, helping us provide a high level of support and prepare all our learners for the future.

Our e-portfolio provides an interactive platform for assessment allowing learners to work at their own pace and to around their own schedule. Our Virtual Classroom provides an innovative platform for learning that allows access to a variety of topics, experts and ideas that would otherwise be impossible. We are not a 9-5 society anymore and learning shouldn’t be either.

Expertise

We offer specific and dedicated expertise to meet the needs of those who work in schools. We have developed our programmes of learning to meet the needs of schools and those working in schools that wish to progress in their role.

Every member of our team has worked in schools and the education sector in a variety of different roles, from head teacher, governor, teacher, teaching assistant and special needs teacher.

We have been involved in qualification development and innovations within the Supporting Teaching & Learning in Schools and the Education & Training curriculums.
