You can view the timetable without having to log in but you will need to be logged in to access the resources on the timetable. Some content is available for free that does not require a log in and this will be indicated on the timetable.

All of our resources align to the National Curriculum, with all objectives for maths, reading and grammar, punctuation & spelling covered by a video tutorial and follow up activities, as well as lesson slides for maths which include audio. Whatever your child is currently learning in school, we have a range of interactive activities to support that skill or concept.

You can also check out our Home Learning Timetable, which is updated weekly until schools re-open fully. Each section of the Home Learning Timetable for maths and English has either lesson slides or a video tutorial which teaches the concept or skill being covered that day. There is also an option to complete online interactive activities on Classroom Secrets Kids (subscription required) and a link to the accompanying lesson or set of resources for that skill on Classroom Secrets (separate subscription required) which are paper based. Worksheets that are accessed through the maths lessons are available to print or complete on screen, and any English resources can be printed.

All of our resources align to the English National Curriculum, with all objectives for maths, reading and grammar, punctuation & spelling covered by a video tutorial and follow up activities. Our maths lesson slides can be used both in class and at home, and come with follow up interactive activities. Whether children are in class or at home, they can be assigned interactive activities that follow your teaching sequence.

The Home Learning Timetable is a weekly, balanced source of learning activities covering a host of subjects for all year groups from EYFS to Year 6. Refreshed each week, you can find a range of activities covering maths, English, phonics and reading that follow the normal teaching sequence expected for each subject.

It is difficult to give an exact time as every child works at their own pace, and it will also depend on how many of the objectives they need to practise based on the first assessment. Each video tutorial is around five minutes long, but it could take slightly longer to watch as there are interactive questions to answer in the videos. Each game has between 3 to 5 questions, so would take an average of 5 minutes to complete. If your child takes longer, but gets the answers correct, this is fine. If your child takes a long time to work out the answers and gets them incorrect, it may be worth trying the year group below first. The good news is that the programme can be accessed at a convenient time that is flexible to fit with everyday life. Plus, as the content for the following week is released on a week-by-week basis, there is no danger of them rushing through it all in one go.

If your child is struggling with the assessment questions, the programme will assign video tutorials that talk through the skills needed. These should be watched before moving onto the interactive games to practise the skills. If your child is still struggling with the interactive games after watching the video tutorial, it might be worth your child trying the year group below. This will enable them to recap their previous learning first and build their confidence.

In a nutshell, it saves you time and effort. There is no preparation required as we sort the hard work for you. We assess, provide the resources, mark the work, track progress and share the results with you safe in the knowledge that each child is working at their appropriate level. We even provide a printable certificate so the child can celebrate their successes. The content of the programme has been created in such a way that the child can work through it independently. Each element has been planned, created and proofread by a range of teaching staff with over 280 years experience, something we are very proud of. It also supports blended learning.

This is absolutely fine. Each subject has its own Personalised Learning programme so you can assign one, two or all three subjects.

It doesn’t matter! Whether it be revision for existing topics or new topics, the programmes are wide ranging. We teach through the video tutorials as we go along, so it doesn’t matter if the subject content is new to the child or not. All of our games are in different styles with different contexts, so there is less chance of boredom too!
