Pilot Scheme Comments
After the successful pilot scheme (Jan-May 2009), we received the following feedback:
From junior schools:
"The program is very impressive and the support has been exceptional." (Locker's Park
Prep)
"Your feedback is very helpful and much appreciated. The boys have really enjoyed using
the software. I think it feels very grown up and they’ve taken their exam preparation
very seriously." (Eaton Square Prep)
"I have done the Speaking Test and it worked! Much better than carrying taperecorders,
cassettes, paperwork and everything else!" (St.Philip's Prep)
"I would just like to congratulate you and your team for what is shaping up to be a very
successful pilot project. I clearly believe that this is the way forward. I have been
extremely grateful for your speedy answers to my questions and just
for your general support." (Cheam)
From senior schools:
"Our experience of using the Schoolshape system this year has been a very positive one. It is a very clear, straightforward and easy system." Harrow
"I have just submitted the online moderation and found it very easy to use. The recordings were clear and it was simple to use the cursor to locate different parts of the exam. This system is a huge improvement over the use of cassettes. It is certainly more efficient and I would have thought has considerable benefits for prep schools and senior schools." Pangbourne
"Just completed first online evaluation. What fun! It was fabulous. No more fiddling around trying to find the right cover sheet, or the correct audio track etc. Clear information, good recording. More of the same please!" Roedean
"As a receiving Senior School, we were impressed with the simplicity and efficiency of the Schoolshape system and would certainly encourage other prep schools to use this method of submission in place of the recordable CD system currently utilised." Ewell Castle
"This system is an excellent intiative, SO much easier than unwrapping cassettes and sending them back. I hope this becomes the norm in future" Radley
"The system was great and would save a lot of hassle if all schools submitted orals in this way!" Canford
"A lot easier, and the sound quality is much better too. Can we encourage everyone to use it?" Dauntsey's
"The recordings sound fine and I had no trouble accessing them.The website is really good and makes it much easier for me to moderate." Bedford
"The site is very nicely designed and easy to use and a digital system is potentially a much less cumbersome process for all concerned." Sherborne Girls'
"I have moderated the two centres who used this facility and found it easy and effective. Would be very happy if it were used more frequently." St.Paul's
"The scheme worked well for us (one student only) and we would be happy to use it again." Ampleforth
"I did find the software very useful and easy to use." Dulwich College
