What schools are saying

DHSB has found Atom Learning to be an invaluable resource, particularly as part of our Primary Scholars programme. It has effectively supported students preparing for the 11+ exams and helped consolidate essential Key Stage 2 skills. The platform is engaging and easy to navigate,enabling pupils to build confidence and make measurable progress.

At Latymer Upper School we have been pleased to incorporate ATOM Learning as part of our Bright Sparks partnership offering, providing another learning resource to support children. Its easy-to-use functionality and responsive support team have made it a firm favourite for our parents and children alike.
- Eleanor Abrams at Latymer Upper School

Our collaboration with Atom throughout the Shaping Futures programme and the summer club has been truly invaluable. The team’s dedicated support has greatly enhanced the opportunities
available to our students which has not only helped them to build important skills and confidence but has also made a noticeable positive impact on their overall development and wellbeing. Atom Learning has also allowed us to better support families, ensuring that the benefits extend beyond the classroom. The partnership has been a fantastic example of how collaboration can driveningful change, and we look forward to continuing to work together to support our students’ growth and future success.
- Oliver Brown at Denmark Road High School

We have really enjoyed working with the team at Atom Learning this year to support our KS2 social mobility programs and to expand access to high quality KS2 resources to families in need across the country. The team have been diligent and responsive, and the students on our programmes have enjoyed using their platform. The tutor function has allowed our sixth form mentors to monitor their student's progress and to set meaningful work; it is advanced functions such as these that have meant that Atom Learning have really elevated what we have been able to offer our local community this year.
- Ellen Holt at Sir Thomas Rich’s School

We have used Atom Learning this year as part of our social mobility programme, Shaping Futures, which supports local Year 4 and Year 5 students who are in receipt of Pupil Premium.
The students very much enjoy working with their sixth form mentors on the wide variety of tasks available, and the programme is easy to navigate. Mentors are readily able to set tasks and view their mentees' progress. I personally have found the support offered by Hannah and Flo excellent. They have provided video training for our mentors and have even visited a Shaping Futures' session to support parents with the programme.

How we work with different schools

Every school community is different, so our partnerships are designed to be flexible. Below are a few examples of how we work with schools:

KCS — Student and parent programme

King's College School runs fortnightly Saturday morning sessions during the summer term, blending academic preparation with enrichment for Year 5 pupils, alongside parent sessions covering bursary applications, using Atom at home, and Q&As.

Gloucestershire Grammar Schools Shaping Futures — Sixth-form mentoring

Grammar schools across Gloucestershire pair sixth-form volunteers with Year 4 and 5 Pupil Premium pupils from local primaries — using Atom to set work, track progress and support academic goals.

DHSB — After-school enrichment clubs

Devenport High School for Boys runs a weekly after-school club for Year 5 pupils from local primaries. Pupils work through Atom's curriculum in small groups, supported by sixth-form mentors.
