For your Reception class you need the EARWIG EYFS MODULE. It is not only easier to use (and cheaper) than other early years software packages, it also provides better tracking and reporting, is more secure and (most importantly) allows primary schools to provide a continuous record for each child, from early years through to the end of Key Stage 2.

At the secondary school level progress in core subjects can be tracked through test results and other quantifiable data, but all schools are keen to develop their pupils beyond this narrow spectrum and to demonstrate their achievements in this regard. That is where Earwig comes in. It allows teachers to save and organise photos, videos and documents into digital timelines. Evidence can range from videos of pupils solving a maths equation on a whiteboard, through scanned school work, to a video of a music exam, photos of art or a video of an art sculpture. Records can be also be made outside of the classroom too; for Duke of Edinburgh awards, projects and trips.

A key feature of the Earwig package for secondary schools is the PORTFOLIO MODULE. This allows pupils to capture their own evidence of progress and manage their own timelines. It also records teacher interventions and links records across individual projects to enable schools to demonstrate vividly the progress of each pupil in each project over time.

Parents are given a login to their own child’s timeline which is highly motivating for pupils. Parents love being able to see activity on trips whilst pupils are still away. Subject Heads can check progress in their subject across classes, teachers or years. Timelines are also used by moderators to keep track of activity in different schools. The additional diary and blog facility allows photos and video to be used as additional parent/teacher communication and older pupils can be given a login to manage the school blog themselves. Timelines can even be used as a teaching tool, eg: to provide examples of ‘what a good one looks like’.

Parents also have the option to buy the photos and videos on their child’s timeline. Your school receives 25% of everything spent by parents. This refund reduces the real cost of the license fee – even before the savings in staff time and printing are taken into account. For more on this go to our costs and savings page.

If you’re marketing your school, the SCHOOL PRESENTATION MODULE helps bring your school blog to life.
