“Attainment for our pupils with EAL has doubled since we started using FlashAcademy®. It has truly revolutionised my department.”
Hollie O’Sullivan, the Head of EAL, at Great Barr Academy

FlashAcademy® is an award-winning learning platform which helps pupils to improve their language skills. Curriculum-aligned content is easy to use and makes learning fun for all pupils. The platform was created in consultation with teachers and schools throughout the UK, helping to ensure it addresses the real issues that schools are facing.

FlashAcademy® EAL is a platform for schools, supporting teachers to deliver learning for pupils who don’t have English as their first language. With over 35 home languages to teach from, pupils acquire survival and curriculum vocabulary, learn grammar and practise their pronunciation. FlashAcademy® EAL even has provision for pupils who aren’t literate in their home language.

FlashAcademy® MFL teaches speaking, reading, writing and listening to 13 languages from English (including French, Spanish and German). The platform will allow pupils to grow their vocabulary, strengthen their grammar and improve speaking fluency.

FlashAcademy® English is a targeted intervention, providing pupils with a simple and effective way to develop their literacy skills. As an intensive one-to-one personalised literacy tool, the platform supports learners to make rapid progress with their reading and writing.
