"The unique ability of this system to capture the pupil’s attention, facilitate
interaction and motivate learning.
This is what makes it so valuable in terms of enhancing the teaching and learning
process."
Mr K Dudakia, Independent Registered OFSTED Inspector.
"The system was able to hold the pupils' attention - even those with concentration
difficulties - and it was easy to use by those who lacked confidence using IT.
The children are receiving good National Curriculum teaching when they use the
programme and it’s like having a class assistant who gives you interesting and
valuable reports on each individual whenever you ask."
The Deputy Head teacher from St Joseph’s RC Primary School.
"Future School is like having another teacher in the classroom. Each child has its own
individual teacher giving them one to one attention which is what every parent wants
for their child."
The Head teacher at St Francesca Cabrini Primary School.
For those teachers concerned about learning the new technology.
"For anyone who might be IT shy, they needn’t be. Future School is an extremely easy
system to use for both teachers and pupils alike. It explains everything to you step by step.
I’ve had a very positive reaction from the teachers I have trained so far and they’re
looking forward to using it."
Michael Larkin, IT Co-ordinator for St Francesca Cabrini Primary School.
"It is impossible for any school to keep up with the fast moving technological
developments within education ICT. However, what we can do is look at which resource
will genuinely maximise the expertise of our teachers and therefore be of greatest
benefit to our children. Future School is the first teaching and learning system
available to schools in this country which enables teachers to become interventionists
and work smarter, rather than harder. For the first time we have a package that not
only offers rapid learning gains to students but also facilitates assessment for learning
rather than assessment of learning."
Mr David Triggs, Head teacher at Greensward College which has been awarded Technology College Status in the past.
"This is the first software system for schools that I’ve seen which has some serious
teaching potential. It merges video technology with information technology, giving
us an extremely powerful tool to help teachers teach our future generations."
Mr Steve Monks, Head teacher, Sinfin Community School, Derby.
"FS is a tremendously exciting system development in teaching and learning methods
which exists today. Not only is this new system like having a teacher for every
single pupil in the class, something all parents wish for their child, but it also
helps teachers do their job even better."
Mr Geoff Allen, Deputy Head teacher, St Joseph’s RC Primary School, Birmingham.
"The Government is making funds available for all schools across the country to put
towards networked computer systems. Future School is now available and is a core curriculum
solution to providing independent learning opportunities for children through the
use of ICT, and ties in perfectly with the aims of the NGFL."
Mr Lee Regan, Head teacher, St John the Baptist Primary School, Solihull.
"Using Future School to help teach maths has added another dimension to learning.
As well as giving pupils a renewed enthusiasm for the subject, it helps to increase
concentration levels and boost self esteem across the board."
Mrs Jill Forbes, Head teacher, Emerson Valley Combined School, Milton Keynes.
"Future School helps teachers respond to problem areas more efficiently,
without disturbing the whole class. The system is very user-friendly.
Teachers do not need a vast knowledge of ITC and can be confident in using Future
School with as little as two hours training."
Mrs Margaret Hedley, Deputy Head teacher.
