What is Educake?
Educake is an award-winning online assessment and revision platform for science, English, geography, history, computer science, PE, business, and maths. Now, Educake is also available for Primary KS2, offering complete preparation in English, maths, and science.
Educake makes life easier for teachers by saving time on setting homework, marking, and analysing results. In just a few clicks, you can set specification-matched tests and get immediate insights into your students’ strengths and areas for improvement. Plus, students receive instant feedback, helping them stay on track.
Using proven retrieval practice techniques, Educake helps students remember and build on what they've learned. They can even set their own quizzes and get the same helpful, instant feedback they enjoy from their homework and classwork.
For primary students, Educake provides thorough preparation for SATs, including SPaG and reading practice. With the recent addition of audio questions, learning is more engaging and accessible than ever. Easy-to-read reports highlight areas that need a little more focus, making Educake a valuable tool for primary teachers.
Educake also empowers students to take control of their learning by identifying where they need extra help. If they’re unsure where to start, Educake’s smart algorithm suggests topics and quizzes tailored to their needs, helping them build confidence and succeed.
Recommended Usage
Using Educake several times a week helps to check understanding of new topics. Setting revision of past topics enables students to actively demonstrate what they know and build stronger recall in a low-pressure environment.

Because it does not link to our MIS automatically. As a school that has a lot of student movement it’s really annoying to add new pupils every week and add them to link via SSO. Every other platform we use syncs with wonde or group call.

- Does not significantly reduce teacher workload
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency
- Slightly improves attainment
- Slightly builds student knowledge

Educake has engaged students with their homework, empowered them to take control of their own revision; massively reduced teacher workload, whilst providing more personalised feedback to students and classes; the markbook is incredibly useful, as are the individualised reports which are great for parents' evenings and end of term report writing

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!
Kim Poole found Educake:

- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“We identify the common questions that students found difficult and design the next lesson 'Do it now' activity to address that gap in their learning”
- Significantly improves attainment“We insist on pupils retaking until they get 75%. The students who complete their homework and don't rush through it tend to do better on our internal assessments”
- Significantly builds student knowledge

Just feel it can be a bit outdated needs wider aspects for KS3 also key vocabulary like spelling tests etc would be welcomed to support SPAG and bridge the literacy gap as well it might be useful to have watch a video and answer questions
Karen fiddler found Educake:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“It can be timely due to having to find the right questions to match SOL particularly for ks3 a lot of the questions are irrelevant as I use progress in geography hodder and find some of the questions are outdated using older terms against the spec such which can confuse our pupils so some weeks I can spend 3 hours setting tasks other weeks it can be less”
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency“As it doesn’t always link to specification and we have to set weekly I have to repeat questions”
- Moderately improves attainment“Geography has improved slightly since I arrived and have been actively using it”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“They use it in lessons and you can tell those apart who are doing it against those not doing it”

Since Educake was recommended to us by another school in our MAT, it has had a huge impact on the way we work. As busy teachers, having a platform which allows us to easily set, manage and track student outcomes has been a game-changer. The ease of use of the platform has made life easier (and raised wellbeing outcomes) for teachers in our department. We were able to seamlessly adopt Educake as part of our curriculum enrichment programme two years ago and we haven’t looked back since!
Katie Kiernan Brazier found Educake:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Mark book makes it easy and far less time consuming to track completion. It’s really easy to set homework and can be done in a very short amount of time. Our teachers love the ease of access.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“It can be used for a quick cover setting task very easily. Lots of resources that develop skills as well as identify gaps in students’ knowledge.”
- Moderately improves attainment“Grammar and writing structures, in particular, have been impacted by that particular element. It allows you to revisit and correct mistakes.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“It’s particularly effective for GCSE subjects. It allows students to interleave their learning, correct mistakes and identify misconceptions themselves.”
