Sixth Domain

Sixth Domain Creating positive and collaborative learning experiences
for everybody in schools, everywhere. www.sixthdomain.com That's what our apps deliver.

2.

We make web-based apps for student tracking, teacher collaboration, information sharing and decision-making. These are all based on the values of our organisation, the six domains:

1. Positivity improves schools

Positivity works, it means when you have to be negative; people listen. You need boundaries, you need structure, and you need consistency. Good communication is essential

Our software h

elps you to communicate, with teachers, with parents and with pupils. It builds collaboration, cooperation and trust.

3. Software should be simple

You shouldn't need training in using our products. They're intuitive so we don't have to sell you training.

4. Information is beautiful

Data doesn't need to be difficult. It can be logged, analysed and presented in a way that can be understood and used effectively, by everyone.

5. Design matters

We build our products to look and feel good to use. That means you use them more, and they have more effect.

6. Clear pricing, simple contracts

No hard sell, no setup fee, just a plain English agreement.
