Compare Educake vs CENTURY vs Access GCSEPod vs SAM Learning

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.

Increased usage over time is linked to improved attainment above predicted grades.

Independent studies commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation and the Family Fisher Trust from 2002 to 2020 report that SAM Learning significantly improves students' GCSE grades with as little as 10+ hours of usage.

To use Educake you need access to the internet. For teachers desktop access is required. Students can use Educake on a mobile device, with or without our app. To log in, teachers need an email address and password. Students need a username and password. Google and Microsoft single sign-on means it's easy to get started. We have recently partnered with Wonde to improve single sign-on for schools.

Launch and setup is supported by our technical team - we work with school Network Admin.

We recommend booking a personalised demo so we can share how Educake can work best for your needs, and how it improves independent revision and knowledge recall.

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.

As soon as you become a CENTURY school, you are assigned a dedicated school partnership manager who will be your main point of contact for all queries. All schools receive bespoke training from our team of former teachers and experienced school partnership managers.
