Adapt, a ML-powered study planning app for GCSE and A-Level students, launched in January 2020 to great acclaim in the UK Secondary School market. Upon launch, the company shot to Number 1 on the Education App Store, winning CVC's Young Innovator of the Year Award in 2019, being featured by Apple on the front page of the App Store in 2020 and winning London Tech Week's Elevating Founders Europe Competition in 2021\. To date, Adapt has acquired over 500,000 active users in over 3,000 schools, and continues to grow by 1000-2000 students per day. Adapt's EdTech product is a revision timetable app, driven by teacher expertise and built with students, which makes a perfect revision plan in under a minute and then continually adapts it to ensure it's always up to date. Adapt is now seeking to diversify its offering by "adapting" its tried and tested technology to non-mainstream SEND Alternative Qualifications; something which has never been done before. Rather than provide courses of study based on GCSE and A-Level exams, Adapt's SEND Alternative Qualifications app will provide courses of study on the Unit Award Scheme (UAS), ELCs and Developed Entry Levels. Each course will be bought by (and tailored to) special schools in the SEND system, alternative provision, and other non-mainstream settings which offer Alternative Qualifications. Those schools and settings will also have access to a matching dynamic data dashboard for their teachers and leaders, showing them in real time where their SEND students are confident and where they are struggling. This will allow teachers and schools to monitor much more successfully the progress of SEND students in non-mainstream education; particularly important for SEND students, who face additional barriers to independent learning (e.g., struggling to begin a task, losing interest in learning, and rarely finishing tasks, Tohara et al., 2021). This will reduce their failure rate and ensure more young people with SEND successfully graduate into the workplace, addressing the key challenge identified by the DfE in 2022 that "outcomes for children and young people with SEND or in alternative provision are consistently worse than their peers across every measure."

We would like to remove MS3.1 (obtaining ethical approval) and change MS5.1 (submitting for publication) to publishing a white paper online.

Adapt, a ML-powered study planning app for GCSE and A-Level students, launched in January 2020 to great acclaim in the UK Secondary School market. Upon launch, the company shot to Number 1 on the Education App Store and won numerous accolades: CVC's Young Innovator of the Year Award 2019, Apple's Today Page "Ones to Watch" 2020 and London Tech Week's Elevating Founders Europe Competition 2021\. To date, Adapt's EdTech product has acquired over 300,000 active users in 5,000 schools globally, and continues to grow by 1000-2000 students per day. Adapt's EdTech product is a revision timetable app, driven by teacher expertise and built with students, which makes a perfect revision plan in under a minute and then continually adapts it to ensure it's always up to date. In 2021, Adapt released Adapt for Schools, a dynamic data platform which displays the progress of an entire school community on every area of the curriculum, allowing leaders to see instantly which subjects, year groups and classes need the most support. Adapt is now seeking to diversify its offering by "adapting" its tried and tested tech for the Professional Qualifications market, something which has never been done before. Rather than provide courses of study based on GCSE and A-Level exams, Adapt's Professional Qualifications app will provide courses of study on Accounting, Law and any other desired CPD courses. Each course will be tailored to specific companies which require ongoing Professional Qualifications, and those companies will also have access to a matching dynamic data platform for their business, showing them in real time where their trainees are confident and where they are struggling. This will allow companies to monitor much more successfully the progress of young lawyers in training contracts, young accountants studying for ACA/ACCA exams and young bankers completing FCA training and exams. This will reduce their failure rate and ensure more trainees successfully graduate into companies, reducing wasted spending on unsuccessful trainees and training programmes.
