Educake is an award-winning online assessment and revision platform for science, English, geography, history, computer science, PE, business studies, and maths. Educake is now available for Primary KS2 English.


Educake uses the principles of retrieval practice to help students recall, revise, and retain past learning more effectively. Students can set themselves quizzes in Educake, and they’ll get the same immediate feedback that they get on their Educake homework and classwork.


Educake helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses, so they can focus on the topics that need more work. If they want some guidance, Educake’s algorithm creates topic suggestions and revision quizzes tailored to students’ needs.
