About the Client

Overview

Forest Academy is a two-form entry school in Croydon, London, supporting children from diverse and often economically and socially challenging backgrounds. A high percentage of pupils have English as an Additional Language (EAL).

The Academy is committed to creating a stimulating and inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and able to reach their full potential.

Requirement

Forest Academy already had interactive touchscreen whiteboards and iPads in place, but required a software solution that could:

  • Support pupils with varying learning abilities
  • Be accessible to different types of users

  • Seamless integration: Interactive whiteboards and iPads work together
  • Improved engagement: Interactive exercises keep learning enjoyable
  • Flexible learning: Pupils can practise skills at their own pace

Students can now:
