Learning tools and revision sites

There are many places to practise at home. Here are the ones families ask about, with what is free and what is not. We are not paid by, or connected to, any of them.

Worth knowing

1. Free goes a long way. Oak's lessons (the ones Quizo School is built on), BBC Bitesize and Khan Academy cost nothing and cover most of the curriculum.
2. Paid tools are for a purpose. Entrance-exam practice and daily drilling are what most paid sites are really for. Check what you need before you pay, and use any free trial first.
3. Prices change. We do not list prices because they move. Each site's own page has the current ones.
4. Do not do everything. One or two tools, used a few times a week, beat a long list of subscriptions.

Free

• Oak National Academy (Public body, funded by the Department for Education). Free lessons, videos, slides and quizzes. Quizo School's lessons come from here.
• BBC Bitesize (BBC). Free study guides, videos and quizzes from primary school to GCSE and beyond.
• Khan Academy (US non-profit). Free lessons and practice, strongest in maths and science. It follows a US curriculum in places.
• Seneca (Education company). Revision and homework for KS2 to A level, with a free core and paid Premium packages.

Paid

Most offer a free trial or a free taster. Check the current price and what is included before you sign up.

• IXL (Education company). Skill-by-skill practice in maths, English and science from Reception to Year 13.
