KEY MESSAGES:

• Unique - Schoolfriend is the world's first, interactive, bespoke learning system.
  
  
• Flexible - Schoolfriend is a totally flexible learning system in the way in which it works at the speed of the child's capability (only moving on when a weakness is mastered).
  
  
• Fun - will build a child's confidence. Currently Maths, Spelling and Vocabulary and Reading are available. Other planned subjects include Punctuation and Grammar, English, Science, Geography, History, Verbal & Non-verbal Reasoning and General Knowledge.

• Interactive - both parents and teachers can enter the system to see how the child is improving.
