It's a wonderful platform, I love the set up of it. What I love most about it is that it's very much centred around the wellbeing of the child.

We are enjoying using Arc again this year, and finding the profiling helpful to see the whole child and their development.

Head of Early Years, Fulham School, UK

I don't think I've ever been quite so blown away by a product in the 20 years I've been working in EYFS. I truly believe you are onto something very special.

Assistant Headteacher, GEMS Founders School, Dubai

We are really enjoying the Arc Pathway platform...thank you for making this process so stress-free. We are loving it so far and are already making full use of its comprehensive features.

Assistant Head, GEMS FirstPoint, Dubai

Such a great way for me to keep track of my child's progress. It's great to have an app where development can be so easily observed and I love that everything is displayed in such a clear way. It's also improved communication with my child's nursery as I feel able to ask them questions as they arise.

Parent, UK

The new Arc Pathway software is fantastic. It's easy to understand and gives you a great insight into how your child is progressing and developing. It really helps you feel engaged with their learning journey. What's more, it's a great way of understanding what they're doing at school every day, I love it!

Parent, Elstree School, UK

We're so happy...the assessment profiles are so lovely and I feel confident that our parents are really going to appreciate seeing their children's progress in this way.
