FOR STUDENTS - A learning path for their year, with lessons and practice in order, so there is always a clear next thing to do. - Full length timed papers that mark themselves the moment they are handed in.

FOR PARENTS - Create and manage every child's profile from the app. - Student login cards with a PIN or password, protected by email verification, and resettable at any time. - Every result the moment a paper is handed in, with the full report. - A dashboard for each child covering scores over time, strengths, focus areas and a suggested plan. - Switch into your child's view whenever you want to see exactly what they see. DESIGNED FOR FAMILIES - No advertising. No third-party analytics. No social features and no messaging between users. - Children sign in with a username and a PIN their parent creates. - Light, dark or system theme, saved for each child. - We collect only what the learning experience needs.
