Dear Parent or Carer, 

 

As we continue to develop our capacity for delivering teaching and learning in a variety of ways we are delighted to be able to introduce you to Century.Tech. 

 

Century is an online platform that supports the core departments of English, Mathematics and Science.

It is designed around the principles of working on small chunks of knowledge (nuggets), that upon completion are then analysed by artificial intelligence (AI). The AI software designs a bespoke pathway that is organically evolving as more and more performance data is collected. Essentially, it identifies areas of weakness and guides the individual through a series of tasks that aim to overcome these as well as addressing any misconceptions.

 

With our Y9 and Y10 cohort having just completed their first assessment of the academic year and Y11 approaching their mock exams in the run up to Christmas, now is the perfect time to introduce this software to our students. This will be happening in class before the students leave for half term and we would encourage you to speak to your children about it - I am sure they will be excited to show you how it all works. 

 

Should you have any queries as a result of this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at kidman.d@harriscofeacademy.co.uk. In the meantime, this video clip should help you understand exactly how it works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S2d90k3d-0.

Yours faithfully, 

Mr D. Kidman

Assistant Headteacher - Online and Home Learning
