Based on 6 years of school-based action-research, Free Flow Info is supported by one of the most comprehensive information and training packages ever associated with an education initiative in the UK.
Free Flow Info is the result of pragmatic research designed to provide schools with the means of implementing a Parental Engagement system that works for ALL parents. The sustainability is provided by replacing traditional methods of reporting to parents with a method that actually provides parents – whoever they are – with a means of supporting their children’s learning in a way that can raise achievement by 25% each year.
It was not until Free Flow Info was being tested in schools, that we started to receive reports from head teachers that the use of several other effective strategies for raising pupil achievement were ‘spontaneously’ occurring. Over the 6 years of the action-research 15 such management and pedagogical strategies have been identified, making FFI an effective and exciting school improvement tool that can be monitored by school leaders through the bespoke web platform.
Free Flow Info enables teaching professionals to work together as a cohesive team and focus their efforts on the development of individual pupil performance by gaining a wider understanding of each pupil in different learning contexts such as other subject areas and out of school.
Detailed data reports and graphs are generated automatically at a school administrator level, providing head teachers with instant access to statistical information about the use of FFI and the amount and quality of the Parental Engagement within the school.
