EducationCity’s 2015 Highlights!

What a year! It’s all been going on here – we’ve seen the arrival of loads of new content and features, not to mention fresh additions to the Hub School family! This year’s proved one to remember and in this blog, we’ll be taking a good look back at what the highlights have been so far.

Over 1,800 New Pieces of Content

So many pieces of new content have been added! From the completion of the Grammar Island Learn Screen series to the new Tests for England, we’ve been really busy giving teachers curriculum-ready content. Hint, hint… look out for more new content coming soon too!

Fab New and Upgraded Features to Help Teachers

We’ve produced a load of new and upgraded features to help the teaching and learning experience. From Add to MyCity, to MySuccess, Sequenced MyCities and the Tracking tab, it’s been a fantastic year and you didn’t hear it here but it can only get a whole lot better! Watch this space.

New Countries Have Joined Us!

Now in over a massive 70 countries worldwide, we’ve expanded even more and arrived in brand new lands!

NEW Hub Schools

At the start of the year, we welcomed our second Hub School and since then, we’ve seen the arrival of THREE more! The Hub School family is growing and we can’t wait to see what happens next.

We were nominated for the following awards in the Education Resources Awards 2015:

  • Early Resources (including ICT)
  • Education Exporter of the Year
  • Supplier of the Year (£1 million – £10 million turnover)

We also had news that we’re finalists for the Bett 2016 Awards for:

Maths Challenge Week Success!

The Maths Challenge Week was one to remember. Not only did we get schools more involved with maths, but a huge 13,000 students took part from 1,459 schools. Amazing!

Our Charity Efforts Have Been Better than Ever!

We announced our new corporate charity, Rainbows, in February! Since then, our charity efforts over this year – and they’ve been really fun – have meant that we’ve raised over £3,700 for this worthy cause which is our best total for a charity yet! This isn’t even mentioning our help for the Nevett Fund and Red Nose Day too.

2015 has been an amazing year for EducationCity! Watch this space for even more highlights coming up (we’re not stopping there!) as well as our updates on Bett 2016!
