Education - Microlink

New for September 2024: ALPACA

So… a Reception-age child plays a 20-minute game on a tablet… absolutely loves it, really engaged… it’s fun. The teacher immediately gets data that highlights strengths and needs at the onset of phonic awareness. Early interventions can then be planned well before the Year 1 Phonics Test.

We feel that this is a game-changer.

Microlink is in partnership with ALPACA Assessment in Ireland to launch a National Pilot in England starting in September. We already have over 1000 children across 31 school communities lined up to begin.

Set-up, administration and screening is ridiculously easy. Participating schools get free use of the tool for the whole academic year. It is certainly not too late to join the pilot.

Microlink Education has come of age. In the last twelve months, we have increased our community of schools from 100 to over 600. Our ambition is to work with over 6000 schools globally within the next two years.

Please follow the links above to explore our offer in more detail.

We know that all children learn differently, and recent advances in Assistive Technologies can transform the learning experience for neurodiverse children and young people, including those with delayed language development and English as an Additional Language. Good two-way communication is fundamental to learning and access to the curriculum, and at Microlink we are committed to providing the tools, technology and support to help children from pre-school to Sixth Form to perform at their best, whatever their physical, sensory or neurodiverse needs.

We are also committed to putting wellbeing at the heart of learning, teaching and leading, as well as developing trauma-transformed practice across the justice systems.

We hope you share our ambition and intent. Welcome to Microlink Education!

We remain committed to ensuring that every student who enters Higher Education with Additional Needs gets the support, the personal equipment and the training to use it that they need, in a timely and effective way. Microlink is also committed to ensuring that supported internships and inclusive apprenticeships really do work, giving young people with disabilities pathways of opportunity into gainful, meaningful and fulfilling employment.
