Epraise is designed to do three things; motivate students, engage parents and save teachers time. Epraise is the learning engagement platform at the heart of hundreds of school communities around the world.
Over a decade ago, our platform started out as a simple house points based school rewards system, and though it is much more now, recognising achievement continues to be at its core. Since its humble beginnings, Epraise has aided in the digital transformation of schools, with features such as points, badges, leaderboards, certificates, activities, rewards, donations, assessment, homework, classwork, cover work, parents' evenings, messaging, interventions and seating plans. We consider ourselves highly privileged to work with such a talented group of schools that are inspiring the young minds of today.
Epraise works - it's already had a huge impact in 100s of schools, transforming the learning of 100,000s of students.
Don't just take our word for it - we've got a huge number of recommendations on our testimonials page and have been recognised by EdTech Impact for our outstanding customer reviews with our 'Teacher Choice' badge, our proudest achievement yet.
"Epraise is an elegantly simple system that motivates students to do their best. What more could you want from a piece of software?"
Whether you're just looking for an online rewards system, or whether you want an integrated classroom management tool, learning platform and parental engagement solution all in one great package, epraise is for you.
Whether you have a technical question or just need a bit of guidance, we’re on standby to help if you need it. We know that great service makes a real difference to our schools and we pride ourselves on being the best.
Our Founder has more than a decades worth of teaching experience and many of the team have also worked in schools and colleges, meaning we have a greater understanding of how schools operate and the different challenges they face from budgets to behaviour.
School reward systems are where students are awarded praise points (sometimes known as house points, stars, stickers, postcards, merits or commendations) for doing something well. This might be for working really hard on a piece of work or based on something like extra-curricular involvement, attendance, grades or sticking to the school rules. Often students are then rewarded in some way based on how many points they have received with something such as a voucher or a school trip.
A learning platform allows students to access learning resources such as homework, quizzes and assessment results, and make it easy for teachers to share work and feedback such as grades or comments with students. Home learning (also know as remote learning or distance learning) and blended learning (also know as hybrid learning) both become possible with a learning platform. These platforms are also known as VLEs (Virtual Learning Environments) and LMS (Learning Management Systems).
Evidence shows that parental engagement has a big impact on educational outcomes. Platforms such as epraise offer schools the ability to improve parental engagement through better communication and more opportunities to get involved in their children's education. For example epraise has the ability for parents to communicate directly with teachers, receive push notifications when their children get an award, and fill in forms for trips and other activities.
We believe there are several things that separate us from our competitors, but at the heart are two things - our platform and our customer service. Great customer service means not waiting hours for a response, speaking to someone knowledgeable and getting an answer quickly. A great platform means things are easy to find and use and the platform is constantly evolving with new features and improvements released throughout the year.
Our system is extremely flexible - you can turn off or customise a huge number of features at any time through our own 'Site Settings' area. For example, you can go here to turn on your prize draws, or to limit your leaderboard to only the top 10 students. Our pricing structure allows you to build the platform that you want, without having to pay for things you don't need, and you can always upgrade at any time.
Our MIS link, which works with SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, iSAMS, Veracross and more, means your school data can be updated automatically every day. Our Microsoft and Google links make logging in easy. Our APIs mean that you can display our graphs, charts and leaderboards on your screens around the school and on your website. In short, we care very much about making epraise easy to integrate with everything you do.
Although many schools start from scratch when they begin using epraise, we have designed the system to work well with existing achievement structures or procedures you already have in place. It's very flexible and most features can be switched on or off as you wish. You can customise it to do what you want - for example some schools use it for house competitions, other schools don't use houses at all. Epraise can either compliment or replace any existing school reward system and you get to decide exactly how you want it to work.
Our system is also great at recording negative behaviour and is incredibly easy to use for analysis. You can decide whether negative behaviour will deduct from student points or not. 'Demerits' are given out in the same way as points so it only takes two seconds to record them. Demerits can be used in conjunction with interventions for things like detentions and phone calls home. Our schools love how easy it is to track statistics on demerits and interventions by individuals, tutor groups, year groups and categories.
We would love to show you around our site so you can get a feel for what epraise is capable of. Get in touch and we'll arrange a time to give you a tour via a phone call or Teams meeting.
We don't believe in the 'hard-sell'. Our demonstrations can be set up to take just 30 minutes of your time and you're under no obligation whatsoever; it's just a chance for you to have a look around and ask any questions you might have.
We know that schools are having some tough times at the moment, so we want to help. We work on prices that are fair to schools and still allow us to provide you with a fantastic service. Compared to our competitors, we offer extremely competitive pricing - some might say, it's an absolute bargain! Find out what epraise costs by getting in touch - just click below to do this now.
