At the Cornwall School Business Managers Conference in Wadebridge on 1st May, we once again enjoyed an opportunity to show how joined-up thinking with our partners can help give primary and secondary schools the best of services from different software platforms.

sQuid has extended its digital marketplace offerings for schools, with the release of exciting new system features in sQuid SchoolPay.

sQuid SchoolPay - the leading trips and offers management system on the market, enables schools to easily take care of all their payments and daily administration in one place.

sQuid has commenced field testing of its R.E.A.L online literacy assessment tool. Co-developed by sQuid in partnership with StoryWorld, a US literacy software specialist, R.E.A.L is an AI-driven early literacy diagnostic tool, closely following the widely used EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment), assessing key literacy predictors in real time: Listening Comprehension, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Reading Fluency, and Comprehension.

We were super excited to be invited to exhibit at the WCBS User Conference at Lord's Cricket Ground, London today.

This was a great opportunity to meet with over 50 Independent Schools across the UK to showcase the innovative tools and features in sQuid SchoolPay - our dynamic trips and offers management system.

We are proud to introduce you to R.E.A.L - Real-time Early Assessment of Literacy is designed to help close literacy gaps in children by way of a digital assessment, based on the E.G.R.A (Early Grade Reading Assessment) used in Kenya. The key difference here is that this is an aural-oral assessment is completed digitally using a tablet instead of traditional written test.

Available to all schools, but conveniently accessed via the sQuid SchoolPay admin portal, administrators can find system user guides and resources to help them manage their trips, offers, bookings and parent communications, updates on the latest system features, and read all the latest news from the sQuid team.

Once again sQuid has been attending the mEducation Symposium in Arlington, Virginia. An opportunity to look at how technology is rising to the education challenge in developing countries and to share views and experiences. With the emphasis this year being on STEM, the mEducation team is hosting the first ever global STEM education event.

Last year was a busy year for the sQuid team with the development and introduction of new tools and improved features, designed to make school life easier for administrators and parents; and there are no signs of things slowing down in 2023, with the release of two brand new tools to simplify parent refunds.

As we prepare to present at the mEducation Alliance Symposium in Washington D.C. next week, we want to hear your thoughts on how to improve the delivery of digital literacy to children in marginalised settings.
