Tassomai makes it easy for schools to keep parents and guardians in the loop when it comes to learning.
We encourage all schools to take advantage of the platform’s ability to involve parents in their child's academic journey.
The Education Endowment Foundation claims that parental engagement has a positive impact on average of 4 months’ additional progress and that there are higher impacts for pupils with low prior attainment.
Ofsted recommends that… “in the secondary sector particularly, (schools should) enable parents to engage themselves more directly with their children’s learning”.
“Our son’s school signed him onto Tassomai, and in the beginning we didn't understand its value. Our son treated it as another piece of homework that needed to be completed in the shortest time possible. Later in year 11 when I started getting parent update emails & after seeing an explanation video from Tassomai it all made sense.
The reality of exams hit my son and Tassomai became more relevant to him. Tassomai has been an invaluable tool.”

Here’s what the Parent Dashboard looks like.
As part of our school onboarding process we set parents and guardians up with a tailored weekly progress report detailing their child’s progress.
Parents also have access to a personalised dashboard where they can see their learner’s usage stats, strengths and weaknesses, and the Tree, an innovative learning visualisation feature that lets parents watch their child’s knowledge and understanding grow.
Through their dashboards, parents are invited to join Tassomai’s Parent Club, a place for them to learn more about Tassomai and engage with relevant content and exclusive offers.
For GDPR reasons we only send Parent Club emails once parents have explicitly opted in to receive additional communications from Tassomai. Parents can unsubscribe from Parent Club emails or weekly progress reports at any time.
Parent Club members have the option to boost their child’s account, giving them access to additional benefits including the ability to add any extra Tassomai subjects that aren’t included in their school’s package. They can also add weekly Leapfrog Sessions and give their child unlimited access to Mai, our AI tutor.
Our boost options give families who get Tassomai through schools all of the benefits of a Tassomai private subscription for a fraction of the price. We’ve also developed a programme to support Pupil Premium students ensuring their parents can access boost features for free.
Please share this information page with parents at your school if you’re using Tassomai.

Parents are more engaged with their children’s learning than ever before, but there is still a lot that can be done to ensure parents are in the best possible position to support their child’s learning.
Tassomai’s weekly progress reports help to support parental engagement and we’re developing additional options for parents who get Tassomai through school.
