Students are encouraged to mark their own work and take on more responsibility for their own learning. They quickly get involved in monitoring their own record-keeping and progress. Their efforts are rewarded with Nessy Nuggets, which can be spent at an interactive Fairground. The game based learning has proved extremely effective in addressing the needs of disaffected students motivating and building self-esteem.

Teachers are guided with lesson plans, teaching tips and strategies for learning. Nessy saves time with integrated planning, monitoring, record keeping and assessments. Schools using Nessy have found that teachers spend less time directing learning support assistants.

Age range 5 - 16
