Vivo Shortlisted for BETT 2012 Award

Following on from our recent win at the EducationInvestor Awards, we’ve just heard that we’ve been shortlisted for the BETT 2012 award for best ICT Company in Education. We’re thrilled to be nominated, complimenting the BETT award we won in 2010 for Best Leadership and Management solution.

2011 has been a fantastic year for Vivo where we have seen double the number of schools adopt our solution. There are now about 400,000 students across the UK using Vivo to track and enjoy the success of their hard work, and about 50,000 teachers using the platform and smartphone apps as everyday “tools-of-their trade”.

2012 promises even further excitement for us. We are planning our first school opening in Australia in January and several new product launches throughout the year.

At the BETT show we will be releasing a new reporting suite and exciting digital content, such as games and music, into our online rewards shop. The reports provide school leaders with even more ammunition to improve OFSTED ratings concerning fairness and transparency and the addition of affordable digital products will make “Vivos” even more aspirational to students.

Come and see us at the BETT show, between 11th and 14th January 2012, on Stand R56.

Grasshead Competition WINNER

Thank you to everyone who took part in the grasshead competition over the last 7 weeks. It was great seeing all the wacky and original hairstyles that people came up with. After much deliberation within the Vivo offices we decided the winner goes to Bluebell Tuesday Paul for her innovative ‘floppy’ crop! She wins a prize of her choice worth up to 300 Vivos from the Vivo Shop. Great work Bluebell!

Here is a sneaky peek at the winning hairdo:

Vivo Rewards at BETT - Stand R56

All this month we have been planning our stand (R56) for The BETT Show and excitement is rapidly mounting as more ideas and designs are being thrown around.  We are hoping it will be our most impressive stand yet, so be sure to come and see us between the 11th and 14th January. As an added incentive, and since we are all about rewarding, we are giving a FREE reward to anyone who collects a Vivo token from around the exhibition and brings it to us at stand R56!  
We look forward to seeing you all there!

Vivo Insight Sessions were a great success!

Thank you everyone who took part in the Vivo Insight Sessions over the last 6 weeks. We have had some really successful events with many ideas shared.  The host schools were all very welcoming and provided many innovative methods to maximise the impact of Vivo. From Shropshire to Hull and many schools in-between, it was great to see so many attendees! We hope to organise at least 3 events every month from now on so keep your eyes peeled for upcoming dates on our events page.

Vivo Rewards at SSAT National Conference 2011

Thank you to everyone who came to see us at the SSAT National Conference last week. It was great to see so many of you at the Vivo Rewards stand from across the country and covering all phases of education.
The theme of this year's conference was ‘Every Child Has Talent’ which is in keeping with Vivo's emphasis on recognising achievements of each and every student. It was an opportunity for school leaders to learn of new innovations to better every pupil's performance and achievement.  We hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as we did!
