iParent App vs Learn with Emile

Similar in nature to the iStudent app, the iParent app offers parents quick access to real-time school information about their child. This includes everything from attendance records to exam results, reward and detention notifications, access to reports and assessments, teaching groups, timetables and more. The official iSAMS Parent app links directly with the iSAMS Parent Portal. It has been designed to offer parents a quick and easy channel for keeping up-to-date with their son or daughter’s performance and any relevant school information, including last minute calendar notifications or event invites. It is aimed at enhancing the information flow from your school/teachers to parents ensuring greater engagement between all parties. The iParent app offers parents a useful and configurable dashboard where they are able to view information and activities about all children at the school. Quick links are provided for: The timetable of each child Information about any sanctions and rewards School news and bulletins The school calendar The photo galleries More detailed information can then be located about the following: Teaching groups The school timetable Internal exam details (entries, timetables, results) External exam details (entries, timetables, arrangements, candidate details, results) School reports and assessments Attendance Activities Detentions Reward and conduct details Parents can use the app to view and subscribe to your school communications including emails, SMS messages and push notifications to the app. Push notifications will advise parents about any timely updates for each child, including information such as recently released reports or exam results, any rewards or detentions and pastoral records. They can also view the contacts linked with their child and request changes to any contact details, thereby ensuring the data is accurate and up-to-date. As with the iStudent app, there is full access to all school news and bulletins (both current and archived news), the school calendar and the school directory. The data used by the iSAMS Parent app is encrypted to ensure that confidential information cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel. Your school also controls the level of visibility of information and communication subscriptions offered to parents. Please note: The iSAMS Parent app must be installed by your school in order for it to be accessible to parents. It will only work as part of the iSAMS management information system and Parent Portal.

Together we have developed and supplied games-based learning resources to over 15% of the primary schools in the UK & Ireland. Our range of resources are all underpinned by robust pedagogical research and are tested rigorously by teachers in classrooms. Initiated by a Knowledge Transfer Partnership and part funded by Innovate UK, Emile was developed in conjunction with the Faculty of Education of Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK based on robust pedagogy.  The multi-award-winning resource delivers a real impact on the learning outcomes of students throughout key stages 1 and 2, while reducing teacher workload significantly, especially when combined with Emile's own schemes of work. UK teachers' feedback has been integral to the development of Emile. As a direct result, Emile now features: - a Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) Emulator with additional controls to control the time limits, the questions asked and slow students down; - a full and comprehensive spelling scheme targeted directly at the statutory spelling words; - end of unit and end of block assessments that dovetail with the White Rose scheme of work; and - tools to help students in intervention groups including auto generated knowledge gap analyses. Used in thousands of schools and multi-academy trusts across the country, Emile is perfect for homework, classroom work, assessments (both formative and summative) and intervention groups.
