Birmingham, Alston School, Phil Sharrock - “Classroom Monitor gives a clear picture of the status of the school at any given point in all the National Curriculum subject areas. We are able to use this information quickly and easily in our pupil progress procedures and implement a structure which Ofsted have graded as outstanding.”
Birmingham, Topcliffe School, Ian Lowe - “The one thing that has been most beneficial to the school is for staff to quickly understand when a child is falling behind and to put interventions to support learning and conversely for children who are making better progress to differentiate work to meet their needs.
