Ark St Alban's Academy lead the way in the Winter Century Homework cup, a national competiton
We are delighted to announce that we came 1st in the nationwide category of 'large secondary school' and - even more impressively - 4th in the entire world, in the Winter Century Cup.
This is testament to the hard work of our pupils completing carefully selected assignments on the platform, every week, as part of their homework routine.
The Century online learning platform is used by pupils for homework in science, English and KS4 Geography.
The Winter Cup ran from 10th November to the 8th December. In total during this period, our pupils answered 498,000 questions and the average questions answered per active student was 737.8.
Ms Barnard, Curriculum Leader for Science, praised pupils:
'Well done to our pupils - across all year groups - who have been regularly completing high quality nuggets on Century. We know that Century's AI technology helps pupils actively retrieve the knowledge they need to understand more about the world they live in and to achieve great grades. Winning the cup and ranking 4th in the world is a remarkable achievement.'
In addition to their homework, Century is available to pupils to use as additional independent study and revision.
