Lexia is a software programme designed to support students literacy by continually assessing their progress and adapting to the individual. Students complete a short placement assessment, which allows the programme to decide where a student will start. Students then choose between word study, grammar and comprehension activities. The activities are designed for secondary aged students, and feature short videos and songs explaining key concepts. Students ‘level up’ to show their progression as they improve.

Numeracy catch up support uses the Mathletics, an interactive online maths platform, that many of our students are already familiar with. We find students engage through purpose and built in reward. Mathletics provides learners with the chance to practice and improve their mathematics skills to use through challenges that are relevant. Students are set individual challenges based on their own attainment and then supported through these by our specialist catch up IIP and a team of Sixth Form volunteers. Mathletics then provides in-depth reporting that allows us to track individual students, helping plan for their future.
