Want to get started with Personalisation by Pieces?

Our 7 step guide to getting up and running. See if you can beat the record of completing steps one to six in an hour! Or pay us to come in and do it for you!

1 Select the number of licences you require. You may want to start with one class or year group or go for it with the whole school. You need one licence per user and you can add more users at any time. The set up cost is £250 and annual licences are £3 per user. Or you may choose the Starter Pack which includes the set up costs, 32 licences, a days training and the PbyP Framework book and curriculum guidance for £495

2. Choose your set of skills/ladders. The most popular is Key Skills but lots of others are available such as the ‘Building Learning Power’ set and multimedia set. Coming soon will be the skills on which the new QCA Curriculum is based. Call us if you want to pick and mix!

3.Give us your details. Email or phone with name and email contacts for two people responsible for PbyP in your school. It helps us if one of these is happy using excel.

4. Register your users. This doesn’t take long and there is a user-guide to download from the teacher login site which takes you through the process step by step.

5. Give students their log in details and the web address. There is nothing they need to install or download but there is a simple step by step guide they can all download from the login page (www.pbyp.co.uk) if they wish.

6. Watch them start submitting work! This can be work they have already completed or new work and in pretty much any format. E.g. Sound, visual, written.

7. With the PbyP framework in place, add your owninnovation piece by piece. Try out ideas and use the tools in PbyP to see the impact, come on a training course, see what other schools have done on our website or just sit back and witness the amazing collective innovation of a worldwide community of children.

The system does the rest. (Allocates work to an assessor, nominates a mentor and notifies youwhen work or assessment is received.)
