English, mathematics and ICT skills underpin learning and achievement throughout school and into further education and employment. They are also vital for communicating and operating confidently, effectively and independently in life.


bksb provides outstanding online solutions which focus on just the skill gaps of each individual student. The bksb diagnostic assessment identifies these skill gaps and instantly links in to self-marking learning resources. This can lead to significant improvements in outcomes for GCSEs, functional skills, apprenticeships, or whichever qualification is being taken.


Quarrydale Foundation School in Nottinghamshire has focused on use of the bksb software as part of its drive to raise attainment. Impact of the software has resulted in a 22 per cent increase in A* to C English and maths GCSE results in the first year of use. Headteacher Jon Crone said: “Students found the software user-friendly and the direct link between the learning resources and ‘gaps’ in knowledge helped enormously. The key to the software is the ability for it to be managed, maintained and to be useful to a wide range of colleagues (not just English and mathematics specialists) and I believe whole-heartedly that it will progress from strength to strength.”
