Our Online Resources

We use a range of online learning resources to support children’s learning in school. Many of these can also be accessed at home. Use the information and links below to find out more.

Accelerated Reader

Our children use a software program called Accelerated Reader at school to allow them to track their reading progress, earn points and gain certificates to reward their reading journey.

Every time a child finishes reading a book, they log on to Accelerated Reader and answer questions related to the book. The results of each quiz taken are saved in the child’s Accelerated Reader profile.

Outside of school, Accelerated Reader is branded as Renaissance Home Connect. Parents can log in from any computer with an Internet connection and compatible browser.

This format has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils over the last 8 years in over 14,000 schools – both primary and secondary – worldwide.
