Consistency matters
The promise is designed around an agreed level of participation — currently 3 sessions per week. Personalisation can only respond to evidence the learner creates.
Launching with public subscriptions
A progress promise should be based on evidence.
We do not want “progress” to mean time spent in an app or questions completed. Scout is designed to look for stronger understanding, greater independence, mastery that lasts and gaps that are actually being resolved.
How we think about progress
Not more activity. Better learning.
Scout's underlying model is designed to build an evidence trail: where the learner started, which skills were Developing, which moved to Secure, which reached Mastered, what needed intervention, whether assessment performance improved and whether important knowledge was retained when checked later.
Progress is multi-dimensional
Scout looks beyond one test score, using assessed skills, mastery, retention, accuracy, independence and the resolution of Focus Zone priorities.
Parents should be able to see it
The aim is not simply to say that a child is progressing, but to show the learning evidence behind that judgement.
Learning is checked again
Important skills can return later. Retention matters because a short-term correct answer is not the same as secure learning.
Our intended commitment
Core learning programme continued at no additional subscription cost until measurable progress is demonstrated.
Clear published terms
The Progress Promise remains inactive until the full approved public terms are published. We will not activate it with vague conditions.
Current status: The Progress Promise is not yet active. It is planned for eligible public subscriptions once the full approved terms are published. Current intended review period: 12 weeks.
The Scout Progress Promise
We should be able to show you that learning is moving forward.
Scout is built around evidence, not activity for activity's sake. When a child follows their personalised programme consistently, we track whether understanding is becoming more secure, whether weak areas are being resolved and whether important learning is still there when it returns later.
What the promise is built on
We measure more than a headline score
Progress can appear in mastery, retention, accuracy, assessment performance, independence and the resolution of identified gaps.
We keep checking
A skill is not treated as permanently solved because it was answered correctly once. Important learning returns so retention can be evidenced.
The learner has a part to play
The planned participation and scheduled assessments matter. A personalised system can only respond to the evidence a learner creates.
Our intended commitment
If the evidence does not show measurable progress, we do not want to simply shrug and move on.
The Progress Promise is designed so that, subject to the published terms, eligible learners who complete the agreed programme consistently and scheduled progress assessments can have their core learning continued at no additional subscription cost when measurable progress cannot be demonstrated over the defined review period.
Review period
12 weeks
