Carol Crookes Assistant SENDCo/Specialist Assessor
Your school name: Winterhill School
Describe your school (type, age, location, demographic etc): Secondary school in Rotherham, South Yorkshire
Did you trial the ExamReader / ReaderPen initially, if so, what “review process” did you follow and what conclusions did you draw? Yes, our school trialled the ExamReader pens in the mock exams. We looked at the results of those mock exams and spoke to staff, parents and students about using them.
What do you most like about the ExamReader? They give the students as much independence as possible whilst still needing a reader. The ExamReader pens can be used in the English exams which is a huge plus for having the ExamReaders.
Please describe how you are using the ExamReader? The pens are being predominantly used by students in a larger venue than previously used as they can use their ear phones.
Please describe how the use of the ExamReader has affected your students (performance, confidence, independence etc)? The GCSE exams have only just started today (14th May) so we will monitor the impact they have had
Please describe any other areas in school you feel the ExamReader has helped (staff time savings, school results, cost savings etc) We are going to use the pens for our EAL students to help with their language development How likely are you to recommend the ExamReader to others? I would yes
