than a 10 year old?
Ten minutes a day. Skills that stick.

Step 1 — pick a year group
Showing Year 4 · Intermediate
Content follows the UK national curriculum, including British spellings
Step 2 — pick a level
Step 3 — pick a challenge
Nine areas, all levelled by school year. Every one follows the year group and level you chose above.
How a challenge works
Short enough to do before school, structured enough to actually move a skill on.
Play a round
Ten questions, one at a time, with a buzzer and a running score. No account, no setup.
See why
Every answer is explained in a sentence a child can read on their own, right after they answer rather than at the end.
Come back tomorrow
Questions they got wrong come round again sooner. The streak counts the days, not the minutes, so five minutes is a win.
Its own section
Exam Lab
Practice for the 11+, GL Assessment papers and the NGRT reading test. Built as three steps rather than one leap, so a child starts where they are and works up.

Build speed
Mixed sets under gentle time pressure, with every answer broken down afterwards.

Two tools for parents
Free, about five minutes each, and neither needs an account.
Learning Planner
Tell us the year group, what is coming up and how many evenings a week are realistic. You get a week-by-week plan that links straight to the right challenges.
- Fits around clubs and homework
- Builds in SATs and mock dates
- Printable, or emailed to you
Parent Support Plan
Turn a school report or parents' evening notes into three things worth doing at home, with a conversation starter for each and the tool that helps.
- Priorities ranked from the feedback
- Practical steps, not vague advice
- Notes stay on your device
Keep the streak alive
Play on any day and the streak grows. Badges unlock as skills land, so progress is something a child can see rather than something a parent has to chase.

Questions parents ask
Is it really free?
Yes. Every challenge on the site is free and none of them need an account. The printed sets will be paid for, and our in-person events are ticketed, but the online practice stays free.
Which year group should I choose?
Start with the year your child is actually in, at Intermediate. If they are getting almost everything right, move up a level before you move up a year. The levels are there so a child can succeed at the right difficulty rather than guess.
My child is in the US system
Switch the toggle to US grades and the whole site relabels. Year 1 is Kindergarten, Year 2 is Grade 1, and so on up to Year 9, which is Grade 8.
Do you cover SATs?
Yes. The literacy and maths challenges are built around the skills the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 papers test, and the Learning Planner can work back from your SATs week.
What is the difference between GL, NGRT and the 11+?
The 11+ is the entrance test for selective schools. GL Assessment produces papers used by many schools for entrance and for internal assessment. NGRT is a reading test schools use to track reading ages. All three live in the Exam Lab.
Still to drop in: the badge artwork. Everything else is wired: 420 questions per year group, 3,780 in all.
