Nottingham-based Prime Principle Ltd
(www.classroommonitor.co.uk) has been named as a finalist at the
esteemed BETT Awards 2011 - one of the most sought after accolades
in the education industry.
Shortlisted for its outstanding service to education in the ICT
Service and Support category, Prime Principle helps schools to meet
Government targets effectively by streamlining the ongoing
reporting and assessment of students using its online interactive
markbook Classroom Monitor.
As the Government continues to introduce new strategies and ways
of delivering teaching, it has become vital that schools are able
to assess every pupil's progress easily and consistently. Currently
in use in over 1500 schools, Classroom Monitor brings together
assessment, pupil-tracking and report-writing into one simple
streamlined process and is offered as a fully managed service to
schools*. Classroom Monitor enables schools to quickly collate and
analyse how every student is progressing and to share this
information with parents and Ofsted - the government inspectorate
responsible for monitoring every child's educational, economic and
social well-being.
Exceptional customer service is delivered by Prime Principle's
15-strong team comprising retired headteachers and former teachers
boasting a combined teaching and technical experience of 54 years.
All have a deep understanding of the issues faced by schools on a
day-to-day basis. The exceptional level of customer service they
offer is reflected in their high client retention rates of over
80%. As part of this service, the company provides 24/7 phone
support, as well as e-mail and an instant messenger service
available between 08:00-18:00 every day. Unlimited free training
totalling up to 1400 hours to date, is also provided to school as
part of the package,
Chris Scarth, Commercial Director at Prime Principle, comments:
"We are thrilled to be named as a finalist for the BETT Awards
2011. Our strong commitment to research and development has placed
Prime Principle at the forefront of education services and
solutions, playing a crucial role in streamlining the
administrative aspects of teaching. We appreciate that teachers are
extremely busy people so our Classroom Monitor service supports
them as they continue to grow and adapt to the changes in
Government requirements. We pride ourselves on the flexibility of
our offering and look forward to catering to the needs of teachers
today and in the future."
Visitors to Stand J9 at the BETT Show 2011 (12 - 15 January),
Olympia, London, can talk to teachers about their use of Classroom
Monitor and hear about two new tools: one to enable the linking of
evidence and resources to assessment and the sharing of those with
parents online as part of the Classroom Monitor online reporting
suite, the other to facilitate assessment at Key Stage 4 - 5
alongside GCSEs, BTECs and GNVQs.
The winners will be announced at the London Hilton, Park Lane,
on the evening of the 12th of January after the first day of the
BETT show, the world's largest educational technology event.
*The fully managed service includes full support, backups and
the latest education framework changes such as Assessing Pupil
Progress (APP), Early Years Foundation Stage strategy and
P-Scales.
