To see meaningful impact, we recommend students use Educake 2-3 times per week. Regular use helps check understanding of new topics and reinforces learning through retrieval practice. Short quizzes set during and after teaching support long-term memory, while weekly revision of past content strengthens recall through spaced learning. Over time, this consistent, low-stakes practice builds confidence and improves outcomes.
Carol Stobbs, Head of EBACC: I love the format, the online classrooms where I can set specific videos for classes. The support from Julie and Kevin and the resources give it the extra dimension. They are always happy to help.Nigel Siddall, Director of Humanities: A brilliant service - both informative and dramatic. An excellent complement to any history teachingLyndon McErlaine, Head of History: I find the range of characters to be vast, and I can always find an example for what I am teaching about.
My students respond well to Kevin’s style of delivery. It provides a genuine spark.Elouise Dobson, Curriculum Leader: Educake has been a real game changer for our department! It has made the setting and assessment of home learning easier and greatly improved consistency. The 'Revision Wizard' tool has supported students through the all-important final revision period and the student league tables have allowed for relationships to be built with students and rewards given. We would thoroughly recommend!Andy Hodge, Head of Department: I can use this for all students from Yrs11-18. Although the question bank is aimed at KS3/4, students doing A Levels benefit from revising GCSE content through Educake. I can also test KS5 content by writing my own questions. Consequently almost every student in the school has an account (because they almost all take Science at one Key Stage or other). It is a big annual investment, but it works out at about £1/student/year at the moment.
Student-friendly, teacher friendly, versatile and allows integration with other learning resources.Shelley Carew-rendall, Head of Department: Educake has become an essential part of our department’s toolkit. It’s reliable, intuitive, and genuinely supports both teachers and students. The quiz format makes retrieval practice routine and effective, and the data insights allow us to target misconceptions quickly. Our students engage well with it, and it has helped improve homework consistency across the board.
Overall, Educake simply works — and it works well. It saves time, strengthens learning, and makes high-quality practice easy to deliver.

Once you subscribe to Educake, we recommend booking in a departmental training session to understand the basics of Educake so you can hit the ground running. These are usually completed online but we can also come into school if you’re local to our Educake office.
After a few months of using Educake, we offer a Top Tips training session which uses teacher feedback to share best practice to make sure you’re fully utilising all the features which will benefit your department or school. As we’re continually adding new development to Educake, this is also a good opportunity to get teacher feedback to help us continue to add value to the platform.
We also have teachers videos ready to share in your CPD sessions at school plus we’re working on videos for parents and students now.
