Tassomai's money back grade guarantee for schools
Since its founding, Tassomai has always offered schools a grade guarantee: that if any student has used the program regularly and with good effort throughout the course (i.e. completed 80% of the Tassomai program), we would refund the school if they failed to make at least a grade 5 in their GCSE.
Every year, we see that the vast majority of qualifying students greatly exceed that standard. However, we think we can do more in the spirit of supporting schools to invest in EdTech with confidence, and in supporting them to implement it as well as possible, working with them to ensure as many students as possible qualify for that guarantee.
We’re doing that in three big ways:
Extending our grade guarantee to all of the subjects we cover (that’s twelve GCSEs across numerous boards);
Making it easier for more students to qualify for our guarantee;
Building real-time “flight-path” reporting that shows, long in advance of the exams, which students appear to be on track for the guarantee, thus allowing them to react early and support more students in qualifying.
Not only does this provide peace of mind for schools and students alike (and Tassomai is the only software of its kind that offers a guarantee like this), but we think that the collaboration this engenders on robust implementation will be the best way to raise standards across many subjects in our schools.
The exact details of the guarantee next year are not yet fixed: this is where you come in!
We need to work with as many schools as possible to analyse exam results data in a range of subjects so that we can set the guarantee qualification at a sensible level. If we can find, for each course, a level of completion where 90% of students achieved a strong pass, then that’s where we’ll put the guarantee. We suspect it will be much more relaxed than our past requirement.
Our plan is to use some empirical evidence to re-set that level each year and then communicate that at the start of the new year. As we do this work, we’ll also develop our systems to make the calculation of each school’s potential rebate automatic on receipt of results (so this benefit does not mean more work for teachers or school leaders).
We’re proud of what we’ve helped schools and students to achieve over the years. We believe that we are the only EdTech that puts its money where its mouth is in guaranteeing outcomes!
