What Halved does
Halved helps you work through your lessons. When you get stuck, it asks questions and gives hints to help you think it through.
It will not do your work for you. It will not just give you the answers. It cannot search the internet, and it is not a replacement for your teacher.
What Halved knows about you
Halved uses your school email address to log you in. In most schools it also knows your first name, so it can talk to you properly. Your full name stays with your school. Some schools choose for Halved not to hold your name at all.
Halved knows your year group and which assignments your teacher has set you.
Your school also tells Halved a few things about how you are getting on: your reading level, and whether you are working at the level expected for your age in English and in maths. Halved uses this so that it starts in the right place with you, instead of starting the same way for everyone. It is not a report about you, and it is nothing your teachers do not already know.
As you work, Halved keeps what you write and the conversations you have with it.
How Halved learns about your learning
Halved notices which topics you find easy and which you find hard. It notices which ways of explaining things work best for you. It uses this to help you better.
Halved will also sometimes ask you some questions about how you like to learn and how you like to go about your work. You choose your answer from a list. There are no right or wrong answers, and you do not have to answer if you would rather not.
Halved also keeps the marks your teacher gives you, and it notices when you get questions right or wrong.
Everything is stored safely in the UK. Halved does not know where you are and does not hold any payment details.
Please do not type personal things into Halved, like your home address or your phone number.
How long you work
Halved records how long you spend working in it, and when.
Your teacher can see this, and so can some other staff at your school. So can you. Your own working time is on your dashboard, and you can look at it whenever you like.
Keeping you safe
Every message you send to Halved is checked automatically. Most of the time nothing happens and you carry on as normal.
If a message suggests you might be at risk, it goes to a member of staff at your school who can help. This is to keep you safe, not to get you into trouble.
Halved is here to help you learn. It is not a replacement for a teacher, a friend or your family. If something is worrying you, please talk to an adult you trust.
