Quizzes and polls for the classroom
Check what a class understood in two minutes, run a live quiz game that wakes up a Friday afternoon, and keep pupil data out of a third party's hands — free, with no per-pupil licence.
Tap a buzzer — no answer text, by design.
In the lesson
A live quiz turns a review session into a game the room plays together. The question and the coloured answer tiles go on the board; every pupil's phone becomes a buzzer showing only colours and shapes, which is what stops the back row reading answers off a neighbour's screen. A timer with a speed bonus keeps it moving, and the leaderboard between rounds does more for attention than any amount of asking.
For a quieter check, a word cloud asks the class for one word about a topic and puts the whole room's answer on the board at once. It is the fastest way to find out that half the class has quietly misunderstood the central term of the lesson.
How well did today’s topic land?

Name capture is optional, so honest answers stay possible.
Homework that marks itself
The same questions can go out as a self-paced quiz — for revision, for the pupils who were absent, or as a low-stakes check before an exam. Point values per answer mean it grades itself the moment it is submitted, and outcome pages let a top score and a borderline one end on genuinely different pages: one a summary, the other a pointer to the material worth revisiting.
What comes back is a distribution rather than a pile of scripts. A cluster just below the pass mark tells you to reteach; an even spread tells you something else. Per-question results show exactly which question the class fell over, which is usually the one that seemed obvious when you wrote it.
A cluster just below the pass mark says reteach. An even spread says something else entirely.

Pupil data, handled properly
Schools carry a duty that most survey tools ignore. Responses can be collected without names at all, retention rules delete or anonymise them automatically after a period you choose, and consent notices are part of the product rather than something to write yourself.
If your school or authority requires that data never leaves its own systems, the whole application is open source and runs on school infrastructure with Docker. Nothing is withheld from the self-hosted version, and there is no per-pupil licence in either case.
No pupil accounts
Respondents never sign up for anything.
Automatic deletion
Set a retention window and forget about it.
Run it at school
Self-host so answers stay on your own servers.
Frequently asked questions
- Do pupils need accounts or an app?
- No. They open a link, scan a QR code, or enter the PIN shown on the board for a live quiz. Nothing is installed and nothing is signed up for.
- Can I run a quiz anonymously?
- Yes. Name capture is optional, so a class poll can be fully anonymous while a graded quiz can ask for a name.
- Is it really free for a whole school?
- Yes. There are no per-pupil or per-teacher licences, no response caps, and schools that prefer to keep everything in-house can self-host at no cost.
