Know your child is actually revising.
A weekly report on what they practised, how they did, and whether they are on track for the GCSE grades they are aiming for. Your child practises free. The report is £9.99 a month per child.
The questions every parent asks
"Is my child revising?"
Each week you get what they did: what they revised, how many questions they answered and how they scored.
"Are they revising the right things?"
UpGrades finds the topics they keep getting wrong and sets those first.
"Are they on track?"
For GCSE subjects, you see whether their recent work points to the target grade they set.
"How do I see it?"
A short email every week, and the same view in your account.
What you get
Enough to support your child's revision without hovering.

How UpGrades keeps parents informed
With the parent plan, an email arrives every week. It says what your child revised, how many questions they answered and how they scored, in plain English. You do not need to log in or chase them for updates. It is a calm, factual summary, there to start a conversation rather than an argument.
For GCSE subjects, the report also shows whether their recent work puts them on course for the target grade they set. It is a guide from their practice, not a prediction of their exam result. It helps you see where extra help would matter, rather than asking them to revise more of everything.
This is different from checking screen time. Screen time tells you a device was in use. UpGrades shows questions answered and how they scored. Your child keeps the independence to run their own revision, and you get the evidence that it is happening.
What you can see
Specific information about your child's revision, not vague charts.
On track for grade, for GCSE subjects
With the parent plan, each GCSE subject shows whether their recent practice results point to the target grade your child set. Example: on track in Biology, behind in Maths. A-Level subjects are not covered yet. It is a guide from their practice, not a prediction of their exam result.
What they get wrong is set again
UpGrades shows what they got wrong and sets it again. The topics they keep getting wrong come first, so practice time goes where it is needed.
Session activity
Each practice session is recorded with the date, time spent, questions attempted and accuracy. You can see patterns over time: are they revising steadily or cramming the night before? You can also see when they are studying. Any linked parent can see this, with or without the parent plan.
Change from week to week
You can see how sessions and accuracy change from one week to the next. Example: Chemistry accuracy moving from 45% to 65% over three weeks, or staying flat. That tells you whether the current approach is working before exam season arrives.
Why parents choose UpGrades
Most revision apps are built for students and treat parents as an afterthought. Exam season is a family experience, and the worry about whether your child is prepared deserves an answer backed by what they actually did.
Most parents want one thing: to know the work is happening. Not to micromanage, just to know. When you can see that your child answered 40 Biology questions on Tuesday and scored 72% (an example), you can stop asking "have you revised today?" and ask a better question instead.
UpGrades covers 85+ subjects across all major UK exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. Whether your child is taking GCSEs, A-Levels, iGCSEs, or International A-Levels, the platform adapts to their specific syllabus. Each subject is mapped to the relevant exam board specification, so practice questions match what they will face in their actual exams rather than generic content from a different board or country.
Your child signs up and picks their subjects. They choose to share their progress with you, and send you an invite link or code from their account. You can also sign up first and send them a code. After that it is £9.99 a month or £79 a year for each child for the weekly report, and you can stop any time.
