What a good outcome looks like
Norton Hill School started with Ezy EdTech in April 2024. After an initial period gaining software experience and building confidence, a full year group embarked on their Ezy EdTech journey in September 2024.
Their approach reflects that it has followed the recommended path for using the Ezy EdTech software. In its simplest terms this is:
- Set weekly tasks that support class activities – 77 between 09/24 and 03/24
- Manage participation
- Review outcomes
Although quite a few tasks have been set, the time cost is low. Many would say it is very low when the resulting activity is considered.
The results, which are often difficult to appreciate before the software is implemented, speak for themselves.
Following the task setting efforts of the teaching team, the 17 students in this group did the rest. They have spent over 469 hours online in 7 months.
That level of activity helps to set out just how much support the tech provides. For a single class with 1 FTE the automation this triggered is incredible:
5,235 learning events were logged, marked and organised for future teacher and student reflection on actual answers provided and feedback relating to the right answer for each question.
A key point is that this work does not sit in individual student folders. Digital replace paper records which transforms:
- Reflection speed
- Identification of learning gaps
- Activities to fill the gaps
With just over 12 months to exams next year the average for this learning group is 1,544 question records which can be accessed individually by students and by the teacher for personal reviews or can be considered collectively by the teaching team so they can see where the weaknesses lie.
The college has been charged £10.00 per student which means that the average learning hours of 27 hours and 43 minutes has cost 37p an hour with another term to go before completion of the first school year.

What a great start position for reflection. Students will be drawn in to look at the explanations for problem questions.

After 7 months of work setting the teaching team now has access to 77 heatmaps like this. This provides the perfect support for development of specific exam skills in year 13.
The final word
