TESTER

1. We were fairly satisfied with EdPlace but it was very time-consuming. There were far more lessons/tests to complete than we anticipated and on top of other homework it was too much. My daughter was really unhappy and wished we'd never applied for the trial!

1. My daughter hated using EdPlace for the reasons given above. It was a real chore for her.

1. The progress monitoring was a positive.

1. I think that EdPlace may have increased my daughter's confidence slightly prior to sitting her SATS.

1. My daughter learns Singapore Maths in school so EdPlace teaches maths in a different way than she is used to. I think this is why she found it so time consuming and difficult. I wouldn't recommend it to a parent who's child does Singapore Maths.

Success is seeing my child having fun with what they are doing and enjoying feeling more and more confident about his skills.

Non-tester
Success is seeing my child working hard and having fun and getting those lightbulb moments that mean even the toughest challenges start to make sense so their confidence grows.

Success is seeing my child happy, forget all the stages that they should be at, forget all else, seeing a child grow and learn and above all be happy....that is all they need to conquer what life throws at them.

Non tester. Success is seeing my child happy and fulfilled with their choices.

Success is finding happiness.

Success is seeing my child happy, enjoying learning, and growing in independence. Seeing him be kind and considerate towards others, and equipped to deal with life's ups and downs.

Success is seeing my child feel confident about and interested in a subject and eager to do so and progress in it (and get good marks...) I'm always pleased when they talk about it to me as that means they feel enthusiastic about the subject.

Ps I'm a non tester

Non-tester
Success is seeing my child become independent, confident and proud of their achievements both academic and social (and understanding not everyone will get the highest mark)

What does ‘success’ mean to you? If easier, you can complete the following statement; “Success is seeing my child…Happy , in employment and managing their money and relationships

Success is seeing my child grow in confidence.

Success is seeing my child… walk up to the new child at school and offer their friendship

Success is seeing my child happy and healthy, nothing else matters.

Success is seeing my child develop into a: happy, healthy, confident, independent individual who will persevere when things get tough.

Success is seeing my children do their best and achieve their potential. Too often, this is left to chance by parents but I like to see what my children are doing and proovide activities and resources at home to help them learn.
Some may see this as pushy but I just think it’s helping to encourage my children get the beat possible start in life. Education is important, but to a six year old so is playing mine craft or to two and four year olds- so is watching Paw Patrol and Fireman Sam!

Success is seeing my child take that leap of faith and being happy and confident to try something new.
Success is an arbitrary measure and different for each individual.

Success is seeing my child soar, flying high, achieving his best and thoroughly enjoying it while he does it.

non tester, sucess is seeing my child happy...whether doing well at school, or just being happy being there...i dont think you can have one without the other, so enjoying school is success to me.

No tester: success is seeing my child rising above adversity to achieve his goals. When society expects him to be below par, he constantly shows that he's way above
