Less time planning. More time seeing them grow.

You do not have to create the school day from scratch

Teaching, worked examples, practice and activities are already organised. My week helps you plan the available lessons, while saved work and parent marking guides help you review them. You still guide and encourage your child, especially in the younger years, but you have a shared starting point instead of a blank page.

Skills they can use beyond school

Help your child practise thoughtful money choices, develop an idea and build respectful relationships. Choose age-appropriate optional courses: Social Skills & Relationships from Year 1, Money & Financial Literacy from Year 5, Entrepreneurship from Year 6 and Investing & Risk from Year 8. Each has four introductory lessons with examples, practice and saved work.

Before the first session

• Choose a year group using the curriculum examples, not age alone.
• Set aside paper, pencils, reading material and a small space for practical work.
• Read the session instructions and check any materials before your child begins.
• Keep the account recovery code somewhere safe and private.

During learning

Ask your child to explain one step rather than simply telling them the answer. Let them use the audio or another worked example. For Year 1, a grown-up can read instructions, listen to spoken answers and type the child’s own response. Record any help given.

At the end of the day

Check that written answers were saved. A completion tick only says the session was marked finished. Read one answer together: what did your child understand, and where did they need help? A short, specific next step is more useful than asking them to repeat everything.

Review work in the parent area

Results & answers shows drafts, submitted work and reviewed attempts. Use the teaching guide to review a submission, give marks where a question has them, or leave a judgement and feedback for open work. Earlier submitted attempts remain in the history when a learner retries.

Balance siblings and real life

Start independent reading or a familiar practice task with one child while helping another. Bring the family together for a walk, music, art or discussion, but keep each child’s written response and learning goal at their own level. The parent account supports up to 12 learner profiles.
