Testimonials
What our schools, teachers, parents and students have to say
“It's really great that we can use Bedrock across all subjects in our school. It has really helped us level the playing field and be consistent across all subjects, with the differing needs of disciplinary literacy across the curriculum.”
St. Anselm's Catholic School
Megan Nee, Literacy Lead
“I've just scheduled reading tests for my entire Year 7 cohort. It's taken me four minutes. That's amazing and so much quicker than we'd ever be able to sort it with our previous assessment software.”
Kings Langley School
Assistant Head
“The students really enjoy using the grammar activities in Bedrock. The question styles are clearly purposeful and linked to their exams. The videos are really interactive.”
Wilberforce School
Literacy Lead
“We use Bedrock to help the kids learn keywords, also to see how those words can be used in sentences, not only the spelling of those words but also the meaning of those words and how they can be contextualised correctly in a sentence. So it increases not only their vocabulary, but their understanding of that vocabulary and how to write successful six and nine mark essay questions.”
St Anselm's Catholic School
David Thompson, Head of Geography
“Bedrock Vocabulary helped to enhance our students' knowledge of the English language, how it works and how it is developed. After using Bedrock, students were able to decipher complex vocabulary without the use of a dictionary or prior context. ”
Harris Academy Beckenham
Head of English
“We have been delighted to work with Bedrock and can see real benefits for pupils who fully engage with the programme. We predominantly use Bedrock as a homework tool. Other schools in the city have been impressed with our use of Bedrock and have also bought it in. Some use it for homework but others are using it to support literacy in school. The data provided is incredibly useful to see pupils’ progress and to encourage staff to engage young people in their learning.”
St John's RC High School
John Collins, Principal Teacher of Faculty - English & Literacy
“We sometimes do use [Bedrock words], not just in English, but in other lessons too. So we can use ‘adapt’ in Geography for example. In Maths we didn’t expect our teacher to ask us about our Bedrock words but he said 'try and use some of the words. It’s your challenge.'”
Learner
Harwich and Dovercourt High School
“The question for our schools in the Trust has to be, if you’re not teaching vocabulary, why not; and if you are, why are you not using Bedrock?”
STEP
Professor Tim Mills MBE, Director of Primary
“When I see my child working through her Bedrock lessons, she has everything under control. It takes her through step-by-step and points her in the right direction. I don't have to do anything. You can see how it'll help them when it comes to revision for their GCSEs, particularly the unseen paper in English. ”
