- Low stakes quizzing for primary and secondary schools
- Automatically set (and mark!) homework
- Immediate visibility of knowledge gaps
- Compare student understanding against national averages
Low-stakes quizzing just got a lot more meaningful
Educake has thousands of ready-to-go, auto-marking subject-specific questions, designed to motivate independent learning and make homework more meaningful.
With our insights and analysis tool, you can quickly assess individual student understanding, compare class and national averages, and identify learning gaps.
Formative assessment – powered by Cognitive Science
We believe spaced reflective learning and retrieval practice helps the knowledge ‘stick’, enhancing learning experiences and reducing learning gaps.
Instead of spending time re-teaching topics, Educake follows the spaced lesson approach with retrieval activities.
Teaching students to reflect on their learning leads to deeper, meaningful, and longer-lasting learning. It also motivates independent learning, which is made more accessible by giving students digital access to Educake from any device.
“Metacognitive skills include learning-to-learn skills and the ability to recognise one’s knowledge, skills, attitudes and values,” and “Metacognition, lifelong learning and understanding other cultures are needed to adapt to a changing environment.”

”Educake has been really useful for us...we can see how they’ve done on each topic as well and give the students feedback. They get instant marking and instant assessment, so it really decreases our workload.
Charlie Tibble, Joint Subject Leader for Science, St Wilfrid’s Catholic School, Crawley
Giving teachers the space to think
We believe great education can only happen when teachers have the space to think.
Our low-stakes, auto-marking quizzes offer invaluable insights into student understanding, immediately identifying knowledge gaps across any subject. Armed with this data, teachers are able to spend more time honing their teaching approaches to address these specific needs, fostering personalised instruction for improved learning outcomes.
Welcome to Educake, the UK’s favourite personalised formative assessment system, powered by cognitive science.
