# Classroom Secrets Kids (kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk)

> Interactive learning platform for children aged 4-11, supporting the English National Curriculum from Early Years (EYFS) through Year 6.

## About

Classroom Secrets Kids is an affordable, trusted online learning platform created during the COVID-19 pandemic to support schools, teachers, and families during lockdown when home schooling became essential. What began as an emergency response has grown into a thriving community of learners, teachers, tutors, parents, and children across the UK.

The platform provides interactive educational resources designed by experienced teachers (with over 280 years combined classroom experience) that align with the English National Curriculum.

## Relationship to Classroom Secrets

Classroom Secrets Kids is the "sister site" to **Classroom Secrets** (classroomsecrets.co.uk), which provides downloadable teaching resources primarily for classroom use by teachers. While the parent site focuses on printable worksheets and teacher preparation materials, Classroom Secrets Kids provides:

- Interactive, self-marking activities children complete independently
- Personalised learning programmes with built-in assessment
- Progress tracking and reporting for teachers and parents
- A child-friendly interface designed for independent use

Both sites are operated by the same team and share the same educational philosophy: high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources that children love and teachers trust.
