Frog Education (formerly FrogTrade) creates software for use in schools. Founded in 1999 by Gareth Davies and Tariq Isa, Frog found their success in the Ed Tech Industry through their Learning Platform. Since its founding Frog has gone on to employ over 100 people in their head office in Halifax, Yorkshire. Frog is used across 12,000 schools and has 12 million users worldwide.[citation needed]
Current market offerings[edit]
Currently Frog provides four tech solutions to schools all over the world; 'Curriculum, Assessment & Progress' allows schools to build their curriculum from scratch or by editing the collection of curriculums provided by Frog Partners such as the NAHT, Rising Stars, and NAACE. This software then allows teachers and students to monitor student progress with a range of tools intended to simplify a sometimes complicated process.
'Home Learning' is a homework solution for schools to set and manage students homework. This included 250,000 self-marking questions which have been written in line with the national curriculum.[citation needed] This solution also has a formative feedback feature.
'Intervention & Catch-Up' has been designed to assist schools with children that have fallen behind.
'Parental Engagement' is a tool to link home and school through a combination of apps, and a timeline showing parents and care givers what pupils have achieved at school.
History and collaborative projects[edit]
Frog services schools all over the world, and in 2011 secured a contract in Malaysia which saw Frog rolled out to over 10,000 schools across the country.[citation needed] This contract secured Frog as the state procured VLE used by students and teachers in Malaysia. Malaysia was the first country in the world to roll-out a 4G network and VLE at the same time.[citation needed]
Following the two companies working together and integrating their products into one, in 2012 Frog Education acquired I-Education, owner of I Am Learning, a games based revision and assessment system designed to help students improve their results. This development also saw Steve Holt and Michael Wilkinson, who founded I-Education join Frog's Board of Directors.[citation needed]
With the 2014 National Curriculum, Frog developed their product to help schools navigate this change, particularly around the removal of national attainment levels. The following year, Frog became a founding partner in Life After Levels along with the NAHT, a project designed to guide schools through assessment without levels. Frog have designed Curriculum Designer for the project which is free to all schools.[citation needed]
