What teachers say

  • “There isn't a better tool out there for improving the quality of education whilst simultaneously decreasing teacher's workload.”

    Laurence Thomas
    Rock Ferry Primary

  • “It is like having an extra teacher or an extra adult in class. There are many software programmes that are available to us at United Learning Trust, and of them all, this is the one that I found that's benefited teachers and pupils the most.”

    Emma Morris
    High Hazels Academy

  • “Learning by Questions puts an incredible database of perfectly pitched questions and objectives at the fingertips of teachers, enabling them to deliver bespoke engaging lessons at a click of a button.”

    Michael Boxall
    Selwyn Primary

  • “LbQ has had a huge impact on my planning, teaching and assessment!! My time is then spent specifically supporting the children who need it at that moment. I wouldn't teach without LBQ anymore!”

    Emily Watkinson
    Our Lady of Perpetual Succour

  • “The last thing you want to be doing on a Sunday evening is trawling through the internet or textbooks for suitable questions for everyone. How can I challenge those that need it? How can I support those that might struggle? The answer is Learning by Questions.”

    Amy McCann
    St Bartholomew''s

  • “Fast-paced progression in every lesson.”

    Charlotte Marable
    South Grove

  • “LbQ will change how your school teachers spend their time and how they deliver their lessons. More time will be spent doing the things that will make a difference!”

    John Coombs
    Peel Park Primary

  • “LbQ is a fantastic resource that allows pupils to access a range of questions, all relevant to curriculum objectives. It is not only a resource for whole class sessions but it can be used in intervention groups, small focus groups or for individual children too.”

    Mark Stephenson
    Lanchester Endowed Parochial Primary School

  • “We trialled LbQ having heard rave reviews about its effectiveness on Twitter. We are now in our second year of using it and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The only issue you will have is children asking "Are we doing LbQ today?" most days of the week...”

    Ricky Boxall
    Camps Hill School

  • “It's clear our staff would not be happy if our licence was taken away - learning would be heavily impacted, as would the work/life balance of staff!”

    Sam Firth
    Pinders Primary

  • “Live without LbQ? My photocopying bill increases, my mental health decreases. The kids wouldn't let you! I just wish I'd had it sooner.”

    Sam Keyes
    St Bedes Primary

  • “Could I have done it without LbQ? No, I don't think I could have - with class, with this cohort. The proof is in the pudding.”

    Cherise Duxbury
    Washacre Primary

  • “I'd be working 10 more hours a week without it!”
