Educake

Luke, Head of Science: A fantastic resource that saves a large amount of teacher time, and also improves student experience - something that would not be possible without it.
Kim Poole, Deputy Head of Science: It has made our lives as teachers much easier to set homework and the students enjoy it. It makes them think as they can't guess the answers!
Ian, Head of Science: Excellent product for homework and revision which significantly reduces workload. However analytics is a little lacking compered to some other products.

Teachers can book a demo to get an idea of how Educake works before committing to a subscription.

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 is 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.
