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.
Kitty Duthie, Primary Teacher: I would recommend it as the online resources, including the CLIC, SAFE and Learn Its are very helpful. I like that data can be easily collected. Concepts are broken down well and the PowerPoints to go alongside these are helpful. I like that it is easy to see what concept to move onto next.Carol Anderson, Acting Principal Teacher: Big Maths is a resource that can help deliver numeracy and maths. It should be used alongside supporting resources and activities but provides the progression steps that provide a clear pathway for learning and teaching.Alan Thomas-Williams, Teacher (Junior Dept Maths Coordinator): I feel it’s invaluable in terms of formative assessment. It gives the school a strategic and developing framework of methods that graduate with comprehension from one to the next. It allows for both individual and group tracking and thus planning. It keeps skills that were previously covered once a year in the minds of pupils on a weekly basis. It helps engagement. It has improved results. The team at Big Maths are incredibly helpful and offer guidance whenever I’ve needed it.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.
