John and team offer a unique service that will give parents valuable insight into their children's progress through this often confusing schooling system. It is obvious to me that this John has the children's best interests at heart coming from his passion in seeing children succeed and flourish.

Insightful and easy to use

“We used Spotlight to get an understanding of how my daughter was getting on at school, and what areas she might need to work on if she was to move to another school in the area. Spotlight provided a really great insight into what she enjoyed doing and was good at and areas she might need to revisit. The feedback was really well considered and we feel like we are now in a good position to make informed decisions about our daughters education.

The platform itself was really easy to use and my daughter really enjoyed going through the questions.

Spotlight review

We decided to undertake this review to help us understand more about the areas our daughter needed help on. We were also able to use the findings when talking to new schools and consequently helping us to make the right decision for her next educational step. Thoroughly recommended.

Thorough and insightful

The programme is easy to follow and very thorough covering maths, English and non verbal skills. The report was also really useful in giving guidance for future plans and what to focus on for my daughter.

Spotlight's conversation with an education expert.

Spotlight's conversation with an education expert and 'Next Steps' document gave me and my partner the confidence to participate in our child's education and help them in a very supportive and targeted fashion. The enjoyable and easy to access online assessment ensured that our children had a very positive experience, too, and all-in-all, we are more supportive and knowledgeable about what's best for them and how to complement their teacher's excellent work.

Teacher’s point of view

As a teacher/tutor this kind of information is invaluable as it pinpoints those areas which need to be focused upon. This has helped me to deliver targeted tutoring programmes far more quickly and effectively.
A great tool.

Really detailed and helpful review and forward plan

I was very keen to know what I could do to help my child close the gaps as a result of the pandemic school closures. I just wanted to talk to an educator who knows children well and can reassure me that I am doing the right thing and not missing anything. I want my child to be happy and realise their potential and Spotlight gave me the reassurance I needed and the pointers to help for future tutoring.

Instead of worrying and guessing about potential gaps in my child's learning I was able to get an accurate check in on progress. The feedback session helped me interpret the results and gave suggestions for further learning. Good value for peace of mind and confidence!

We got the confidence to make the right decisions

My child enjoyed doing the test and I thought that the questions were well proportioned. The time to do the questions fit in with what I thought was optimal. The feedback we received was impressive and detailed. It was good to go through the results with a professional and have time to discuss what lay behind the numbers and where the strengths and weaknesses were. There was a lack of detail from our child's school about how they were doing, so we felt we needed a new source of data to make any decisions. The spotlight programme gave us the statistics and the confidence to make the right choices.
