It is a powerful way to share learning with parents and the multi-professional team... all with a device staff can keep in their pocket." Vijita Patel, Principal & National Leader of Education (NLE), Swiss Cottage School and Development & Research Centre, London, UK "Evidence for Learning has truly revolutionised how we capture everything from pupil evidence, assessment and data in one centralised package. The sheer flexibility of the product allows us to use it across the whole school from 7-19 with an array of needs. The ability to move from extremely personalised targets right the way through to more formal accreditations means it is truly a one-stop-shop for all our needs. We have seen significant impacts across the whole school from allowing greater efficiency for Senior Leaders to complete complex moderation and triangulation, engaging and communicating with parents through to lightening the workload for teachers allowing them to focus on the important aspects of their role."

The Earwig Parent app provides parents with a secure login and free, ever-growing record of their child’s school life. Parents can see the Earwig records and images that have been tagged explicitly to their child in the school database. Parents are not charged for limited access to Earwig records or timelines via the Earwig website. Any school has the option to allow parents to upload images, documents, or videos into Earwig Parent. This then becomes part of the school's records for the relevant student. By uploading images to Earwig, each parent is giving the school and EARL an ongoing license to use the image for any relevant educational purpose.
