Life before GoFathom
“Before GoFathom, if I wanted a student to see a video of themselves, I had to send it to a parent. Feedback relied on parents' evenings and the occasional call home to touch base on how they were doing.”
Case study
Brighton Aldridge Community Academy
How a school cricket programme moved feedback beyond parents' evenings and put video straight into students' hands.
Featured testimonial
Mark Robinson OBEHead of Cricket, BACA
Since we started using GoFathom, a lot of the more mature and better players have started to bring their own views into the development, and they're more receptive to change. Giving pupils the ability to reflect is going to be pretty powerful.”
Mark Robinson OBEHead of Cricket, BACAWhy we chose it
“What drew me to GoFathom was being able to send students videos of themselves performing, without having to send them to their parents. I also wanted to be able to put out group videos and messages, and GoFathom lets me do both.”
The impact
Parent communication“GoFathom has changed the conversations with parents. I've had comments from parents saying how beneficial the feedback is, because they and their child can see what's happening. The inclusion and involvement of parents is crucial to get right, and GoFathom definitely helps. Our coaches are starting to use it more too.”
Who it's for
I'd recommend GoFathom to anyone who works in performance and has a strong desire to improve not only their players but also themselves. They would benefit enormously.”
