    Score breakdown

    Scoring breakdown for Squid Academy across every rubric criterion
    CriterionWeightLevelWhat the evidence shows
    External accreditationHas an independent body reviewed and rated the curriculum?15%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: EdTech Impact displays EAF pedagogical certification. Current Squid accreditation page claims portfolio-wide review. Interpretation: External review established; current programme/version coverage and rating not independently established. Legacy 2023 rating is recorded separately. Confidence: Low. Source
    Curriculum depthIs there a full scheme of work, or a set of loose activities?15%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: MSPC describes Essential/Core/Elite tiers, role pathways and a repeatable lesson structure. Interpretation: Structured scheme and progression; no complete released multi-year age/outcome map. Tier names alone do not earn 4. Confidence: Medium. Source
    Student assessmentCan a teacher evidence what a student actually learned?10%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: LMS supports grading and submissions; Squid announces AQA centre 85587 and unit certificates. AQA explains outcome/evidence requirements. Interpretation: Structured assessment; centre status and exact deliverable unit coverage not independently confirmed. Hold 4 pending verification. UAS is not a BTEC-equivalent qualification. Confidence: Low. Source
    Learning platformIs the content delivered through a real platform teachers can run?10%4/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Dedicated LMS documents teacher roles, cohorts, completion tracking, grading and feedback. Interpretation: Explicit teacher dashboard and progress functions meet 4; capability documentation, not a hands-on performance test. Confidence: Medium. Source
    Teacher supplyWho stands in front of the class?10%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Custom package offers Squid-certified teaching staff and pro-player coaching, with rates varying by qualifications. Interpretation: Staff placement is specified; instructor credentials, vetting and live-delivery territory availability remain unverified. Confidence: Low. Source
    Teacher trainingIs the school teacher trained to run the program independently?10%4/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Fourteen-module educator programme describes assessments, scenario tasks, safeguarding review and capstone certification. Interpretation: Structured assessed certification for educators meets 4; provider certificate is not a teaching licence. Confidence: Medium. Source
    Safeguarding and wellbeingIs student wellbeing built into the program, or bolted on?10%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Mind Your Game specifies 13 modules, workshops, worksheets and healthy-gaming plans for ages 12-18. Interpretation: Dedicated structured wellbeing content; independent review of this exact programme not established. Confidence: Medium. Source
    Delivery reachCan they actually deliver where the school is?8%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Published global purchase/partner model and hybrid school delivery combine LMS study with classroom facilitation. Interpretation: International digital/partner distribution; global live teaching plus home-region in-person provision not established. Confidence: Medium. Source
    Pricing transparencyCan a school budget without a sales call?7%3/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: USD annual classroom (up to 50): License $990; Guided $1,990. Whole institution $4,990/$9,900. Custom staffing quoted. Interpretation: Standard tiers are budgetable; quoted staffing package prevents full package transparency at 4. Regional taxes/currency require confirmation. Confidence: High. Source
    Evidence of outcomesIs there published evidence the program works?5%1/4Scored: documented evidence. Fact: Company homepage gives testimonials and adoption numbers; external listing has no user reviews. Interpretation: Benefit claims only; no attributable systematic learner-outcome evaluation verified. EAF design review is not outcome evaluation. Confidence: Low. Source
