Most tools tell you a child got it wrong. WAJD tells you why.

Every wrong answer a pupil gives is named as a misconception, so your teachers see "nine children think a bigger denominator means a bigger fraction" instead of a column of scores. The register takes itself as pupils arrive, and the class day runs on its own timetable. It sits alongside the systems you already have.

One class, one full term, free. No card and no commitment.

Three things your teachers stop doing by hand

Shown in this order on every demo, because it is the order a teacher meets them in a real morning.

The register takes itself

A pupil taps their name on the tablet as they come in. When the teacher opens the lesson, everyone checked in is marked present and absences are already flagged. Nobody types a thing.

The day runs itself

Lesson, break, lesson, lunch, on a countdown the class can see. Pause it, add five minutes when they are finally getting it, or end the day early. A pupil who is stuck taps "I need help" and appears on the teacher's screen without raising a hand in front of everyone.

You get the why

Answers are marked as they come in. At the end of the lesson you see who is secure, who is still working, and the named misunderstanding behind each mistake, with the sentence to teach against it. Print it for parents' evening or a governors' meeting.

What a teacher sees after one lesson

Not a percentage. A picture of the class, and what to say to the pupils who hold each misunderstanding.

Why the name of the mistake matters

"Nine got question four wrong" tells a teacher to reteach the whole topic. "Nine believe a bigger denominator means a bigger fraction" tells them exactly what to say, and to whom, tomorrow morning.

WAJD can do this because every question in its bank has each wrong answer tagged to a named misconception, written by teachers. The same library is published openly, and you can read it in our common mistakes pages.

Built for the school you actually run

The same product for every kind of school. What changes is the problem it solves first.

State primary

This does not replace SIMS, Arbor or Bromcom, and it does not try to. It fills the gap they leave: knowing why a pupil is stuck, not just that they are.

Evidence for catch up, tutoring and pupil premium spending: what the gap was, what was done and whether it closed.

Independent and private primary

Fee paying parents expect evidence. "Secure on fractions, with one specific misunderstanding about equivalence, and here is what we are doing" is a parents' evening conversation worth having.

A defensible picture of attainment for heads and governors.

Madrasah and supplementary school

Most weekend and evening schools have no management system at all. Registers are on paper and progress lives in one teacher's head. WAJD gives you the register and the timetable from day one.

A plain English progress sheet for every parent, every term.

Trusts, federations and tutoring groups

One place to see every class across several sites, each school's data walled from the next. Tutoring and home education groups get the same report after every session.

Pricing per pupil, so it moves with your numbers.

Your pupils' data

A school is trusting us with children's records. This is how that trust is kept, in plain words.

What is not built yet

Heads have been oversold to for twenty years. Here is the list we give on every call.

None of these gets in the way of a one class pilot. If one of them is a blocker for your school, tell us in the form and we will say honestly when it will change.

Ask for more

Tell us a little about your school and what you would like. A person reads every request and replies within two working days.

We use these details only to reply to this request, and we never add them to a mailing list. See the Privacy Policy.

What happens next

  1. We reply within two working days, from a person, not a sequence.
  2. Fifteen minutes on a call. We show the register, the day and the misconception report on a real class.
  3. One class, one term, free. We set it up with you and hand over the data protection pack.
  4. You decide. If it does not save your teachers time, you stop, and nothing is owed.

Straight answers

What does it cost after the pilot?

A single school pays £99 a term plus £1.50 per pupil, so a school of 200 pupils pays about £1,200 a year. Trusts and federations pay £299 a term plus £1 per pupil. The pilot costs nothing, and it does not turn into a bill unless you choose a plan.

Does it replace our MIS?

No. It runs alongside SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom or whatever you use. Supplementary schools with no system at all can use its register on its own.

What devices do pupils need?

A tablet or laptop with a web browser. It works on the devices most schools already have, and each device is enrolled to one class with a key only your staff can see.

What if our WiFi is unreliable?

Lessons are stored on each device the first time it connects, so a lesson carries on when the connection drops. Answers are held on the device and sent when it comes back.

Where does the data live, and who can see it?

On servers in the European Economic Area, in Germany. Only your school's staff see your school's records. Operational records are deleted automatically after twelve months, and the data processing agreement is accepted before any pupil is enrolled.

Is the rest of WAJD Academy free?

Yes. Every course, lesson, quiz and past paper on WAJD Academy stays free for pupils and families. Schools pay only for the classroom layer: the register, the class day, the reports and the data protection pack.
