Getting started

Where should I start?

To get started, you will need to set up your school details and your user accounts on the School Admin page in the Educator Zone. You can set up class accounts for working through activities as a class and individual student accounts for students to work through tasks independently in or outside of school. You can also set up additional Educator accounts for other teachers within your school wishing to use the platform. Although the platform has been designed for use in schools you can also use the platform if you are a community/education group working with students. Once you’ve set up your accounts you can find help for how each section of the platform works by clicking the ‘i’ button on each page or visiting the help page.

Which ages groups is the platform suitable for?

The platform is aimed at primary school students aged 4-11 (KS1 and KS2). However, younger years may struggle to use the platform independently and therefore we recommend using the class accounts to complete activities with this age group.

Can pupils use the platform independently?

Yes they can. If you are completing an activity as a class then we recommend using the class accounts which can be set up from the School Admin page in the Educator Zone. Pupils can however complete tasks independently in or outside of school with their own accounts which you can set them up with on the School Admin page.

I am not a teacher but instead work for an organisation and would like to look around the platform – am I able to do this?

Yes you can set up your Educator account and leave the school section on the School Admin page blank. You will still have access to all the main features of the platform including looking through the badge scheme and accessing the resource hub.
