Why schools need this

  • Reduce staff workload. Spend less time on repetitive marking, assessment analysis and admin.
  • Understand pupils faster. Turn assessment information into clear teaching priorities.
  • Strengthen teaching and learning. Support feedback, oracy, reading, retrieval, intervention and curriculum delivery.
  • Consolidate tools. Bring more of the jobs teachers already do into one platform your staff will actually use.

Three tools schools ask about first

  • LoftTick — smart marking and feedback. Cut hours from the marking pile without losing professional judgement.
  • LoftTrack — Question Level Analysis and assessment tracking. Turn raw data into a plan for the next reteach.
  • LoftTalk — oracy assessment. A structured way to assess speaking and listening across the whole school.

And that's only part of Learning Loft

See a LoftTick marking example, explore LoftTrack QLA with fictional class data, or try a LoftTalk oracy sample without signing in. Then Book a School Demo to discuss your school's priorities.

The full platform groups by the jobs teachers actually do:

  • Assess & understand — LoftTrack, LoftTest.
  • Mark & feedback — LoftTick.
  • Oracy & communication — LoftTalk.
  • Read & develop — LoftLibrary, LoftSounds.
  • Teach & support — LoftTeach, teaching resources and CPD.
  • Learn & engage — LoftTopia, LoftMath and other pupil tools.
  • Live tutoring & CPD — LoftClass.
  • Early years — LittleLoft, a dedicated EYFS and nursery management system.

One platform vs a fragmented workflow

Most schools stitch a workflow together across separate assessment spreadsheets, a marking process, oracy documents, resource sites, quiz platforms and multiple logins. Learning Loft consolidates more of the tools and workflows your staff already use into a single, teacher-built platform. We won't claim you can remove every current system on day one — but for most schools, this replaces or absorbs several.

Built around the realities of UK schools

Every feature was specified by a serving UK teacher. We test in real classrooms before we ship. We don't build gimmicks — we build smart, transparent tools that reduce workload and that you can defend to a parent, a governor or an inspector.

Safeguarding & data protection

Schools cannot adopt platforms that put pupil data at risk. Our security architecture is built around DfE guidance on personal data and the GDPR principle of data minimisation:

  • UK-hosted infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit.
  • Role-based access control — no teacher can see a pupil outside their classes.
  • Signed, time-limited URLs for every photo, voice note and document.
  • 24-month default retention with data deletion on request.
  • Comprehensive audit log for all staff access.
  • Cyber Essentials aligned, with a published Data Processing Agreement.

Evidence and impact

Our practice is grounded in cognitive science (Rosenshine, Sweller, Willingham) and the Education Endowment Foundation's evidence base. Learning Loft is designed so that technology handles the repetitive work — first-pass marking, data entry, question-level breakdown — and teachers keep the professional decisions: what to reteach, who to intervene with, how to plan next. Where we cite outcomes from partner schools, they are attributed to those schools' own work; Learning Loft is one of many factors that support improvement, not a guarantee of it.

Pricing for schools and trusts

Flexible annual school licences start from £995 + VAT per year and are designed around your school's size and needs — unlimited staff and pupil access within the licensed school, with support to help your team get started. MATs and British international schools receive a bespoke proposal. Every pricing conversation starts with a 20-minute demo with one of our education leads — book a school demonstration or request school pricing.

British international schools & overseas partners

Learning Loft supports British international schools and schools delivering the English National Curriculum overseas. Because the platform is browser-based, there's no infrastructure lift for your IT team. Curriculum content is aligned to UK specifications (GCSE, A-Level, SATs, EYFS), and our onboarding team accommodates international time zones. Assessment consistency across sites, teacher CPD abroad, and access to UK subject specialists for intervention are common reasons international schools choose us. IGCSE and international A-Level support is tutor- and content-dependent — ask us when you enquire. Use our Bring Us In form for a tailored international-school proposal.

Frequently asked questions

Is Learning Loft GDPR compliant?

Yes. We are a UK-registered education technology provider with a published Data Processing Agreement, a 24-month data retention default, signed-URL access to all private media, and encrypted-at-rest storage. We provide a DPA and a sub-processor list to every school as part of onboarding.

How does Learning Loft handle safeguarding?

Safeguarding is built into every product. Pupil data is segregated by school. Teachers cannot access pupils outside their classes. All staff messaging is logged. Parent/teacher voice notes are limited to celebratory content and capped in length. A named DSL contact sits in your school admin area.

Do you support multi-academy trusts?

Yes. Trusts get a central trust dashboard with cross-school analytics, MAT-level user management, consolidated billing and a single point of contact. Pricing is bespoke — book a MAT demo to discuss your trust's needs.

How long does onboarding take?

A single school is typically live within 7 days using our bulk onboarding wizard — CSV import, auto-generated staff and pupil IDs, and a guided product tour. Trusts take 2–4 weeks depending on data readiness.

Can international schools use Learning Loft?

Yes. British international schools and schools teaching the English National Curriculum overseas can license Learning Loft. Access is browser-based so there's no infrastructure hurdle, and we support staff in international time zones for onboarding. Curriculum content (GCSE, A-Level, SATs, EYFS) is aligned to UK specifications. IGCSE support is tutor- and content-dependent; ask when you enquire. Enquire via our Bring Us In form for a tailored international school quote.

How much does it cost?

School licences from £995 + VAT per year. Flexible annual school licences are designed around your school's size and needs, with unlimited staff and pupil access within the licensed school. MATs and international schools receive a bespoke quote based on their size and requirements. Book a 20-minute demo for a tailored proposal.

Do schools have a free trial?

No. Schools purchase an annual licence following a demo and a short discovery call — we do not offer whole-school, department or year-group free trials. Individual teachers can sign up for a personal Teacher Membership free trial to explore the platform themselves.
