Spring 2023
It’s exciting times for us, with development now carried out by our new and bigger team at Juniper Education. Here’s our latest enhancements and a glimpse of things to come.
WE’VE DELIVERED
- Multiple value Thumbs Ups – A fast way to give multiple points at once. Tap the ‘Thumbs Up’ icon and select the value you want (1, 5, 10, 15 or 20).
- Improved child search – It’s more accurate, saving you time when you want to find any child in the school.
- Updated Parent Join-Up letter – No more confusing and unnecessary reply slip.
- Centralised resetting of the Thumbs Up and Badge counters – An admin feature that resets everyone’s counters. Perfect for starting afresh with scores each term. ***Remember to tap ‘Insights’ for your historical scorecards!
- ‘Badge-to-web’ link – Add more impact and meaning to your school badges. Set up by your MarvellousMe administrator, it links parents from a badge to a page on your website, such as ‘Our Values’, helping parents to better understand and reinforce their child’s skills development.
COMING SOON
- Whole class view on one screen – No need to scroll through rows of children.
- New parent app design.
- MIS and tracker integrations, real-time web feeds, booking and payment systems, enhanced Reading log, and more.

What users are saying
“Parent engagement is one of the most effective ways to improve test scores, boost character development and confidence, and help children become more powerful learners. The more parents and children have good conversations about school, the better pupils achieve. MarvellousMe makes these family conversations happen.
Bill Lucas, Professor of Learning and co-author of ‘Educating Ruby’University of Winchester
“This is home-to-school communication at its best. MarvellousMe is a fantastic, school-wide solution that enables us to share positive feedback with our parents, so that they can be fully engaged in their children’s learning.
Mrs. Kemp-Hall, Principal
“Parents value the regular information shared by teachers through the school’s MarvellousMe system.
Ofsted Inspection Report
“We love MarvellousMe! I’ve never had an initiative go down so well with parents, children and staff! It’s wonderful because the children are actively getting their parents involved. It’s been so popular with parents who are separated and dads say how included they feel.
Kate Chisholm, Headteacher
“I love MarvellousMe. It’s so quick and easy. I use it with my class to reinforce their learning and to praise those who have done well. Children are really motivated by knowing that their parents are instantly told the good news.
Mrs. Spencer, Teacher

Mrs. Cooper, Deputy Headteacher
