King's High School, established in 1879, is an all-girls school in Warwick, UK, serving 720 students, aged 11-18. As part of the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, the school emphasizes preparing students for the workforce by fostering IT literacy and ensuring seamless access to digital learning resources.
Teachers and students at King’s High School struggled to embrace educational apps due to login difficulties, forgotten credentials, and scattered resources. These issues led to lost instruction time and limited digital engagement. Teachers often resorted to projecting applications rather than having students engage directly, which harmed the development of critical IT skills.
School leaders also faced challenges in assessing the effectiveness of digital tools. Without clear engagement data, it was difficult to determine whether teachers needed additional training or if low-usage applications should be reconsidered. As the school launched a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) program for years 8 to 13, ensuring seamless access to learning tools across different devices—both at home and in school—became an even greater priority.
720LaunchPad provided a centralized platform for students and staff to easily access and log in to all learning applications with a single click, while My Files enabled users to access documents from any device. With these tools, students could work independently and take ownership of their learning.
ClassLink Analytics empowered administrators to track application usage, identify training needs, and optimize software investments. Additionally, ClassLink quickly integrated UK-specific apps like Kerboodle, iSAMS, Unifrog, Exampro, and Dynamic Learning into the platform.
During school closures, ClassLink facilitated a smooth transition to remote learning, ensuring students and teachers had uninterrupted access to lesson plans, assignments, and essential resources. According to Director of Educational Innovation Jenny Parkinson-Mills, ClassLink played a vital role in making the virtual classroom function just like the physical one.
ClassLink solved our access problems by putting all the applications students and teachers use in one place and removing the need for the girls to remember those logins.
