Headstart is our dedicated educational multimedia software for primary school and KS3. Suitable for 9 years and up and engages all pupils by allowing them to create exciting material easily.

Headstart is more exciting than slideshow or presentation software but requires no additional skills. It lets you animate text and graphics easily and incorporate digital images, sound, music or video. Also creates multimedia internet sites, screensavers and simple games.

Ideal for ICT requirements at the end of KS2 Headstart can also be very effective for facilitating highly engaging cross-curriculum projects.

Headstart includes all the functionality of our commercial product Opus Creator but with dedicated resources and samples. We have also tweaked the interface to make it less daunting without being condescending.

Teachers can use it to create or modify their own resources dedicated to individuals or to whole school objectives. It is particularly suited to special needs requirements including encouragement of higher achievers.

Headstart allows teachers and mentors to make comments directly on pupils' work, on screen, and/or email projects for comments by colleagues.
