One notification per paper
Told once, when the teacher releases a result. Not when a paper is set, not when it is sat, not when it is being marked. You can turn any of it off.
Parents
Stop waiting for
Stop waiting for
the parents’ evening.
Twice a year, ten minutes, and a number you cannot act on. Every result reaches you the moment the teacher releases it, broken down to the chapter — so the conversation at home is about Chapter 7 rather than about the mark.
One child
Every result on release
Two chapters, not a rank
Works without the school
Plain language
The first fortnight
Two weeks of a parent’s
Two weeks of a parent’s
phone, honestly.
Not a feature tour — what actually arrives, and how often. Most of the fortnight is quiet, deliberately.
Day 1
Linked
You link to one child, either through the school or on your own. You see their papers from that point forward, plus whatever history the school chooses to share.
- One child, one account
- School link optional
- Nothing retrospective without the school’s say-so
Day 3
First result
A paper is released and you are told once. Not a mark on its own — the total, the chapters that cost the most marks, and the class average for context.
- One notification per paper
- Chapter map, not a rank
- Class mean for context
Day 4
The conversation
The bit that matters. “You lost eleven marks on Motion” is a conversation. “You got 68%” is an argument. The app is written so a parent can read it without a glossary.
- No jargon, no percentiles
- Strong chapters named too
- Nothing implying a position
Day 8
Practice issued
A practice set arrives aimed at the two chapters that slipped. You can see it was issued and whether it was completed — not police it.
- Two chapters, not the syllabus
- Answers included
- Prints to A4
Day 14
The trend
Two weeks in there is a second data point, which is when a chapter map becomes a trend. This is the first moment it tells you something a report card could not.
- Chapter against itself over time
- Improvement named explicitly
- No comparison to other children
Five notifications in a fortnight. If it were fifty you would turn them off, and then it would be worth nothing.
What a parent gets
Six things,
Six things,
and a lot of silence.
The restraint is the feature. A parent app that pings all day gets muted, and a muted app tells you nothing.
Two chapters, not a rank
The topics that cost the most marks, in plain language. No percentile, no position, no comparison to another child by name or otherwise.
Strong chapters too
A report that only names weaknesses is a report a child stops wanting you to read. What went well is named as explicitly as what did not.
The practice, and whether it was done
You see what was issued and whether it was completed. You do not see them working, and there is no timer or activity feed.
Works without the school
If the school is not on Intellicamp you can still follow your child — you just get practice and self-set papers rather than school results.
One child, nothing else
You see your child. Not the class list, not another child’s marks, not a leaderboard. There is no view that would show you them.
Where it comes from
Five sources in.
Five sources in.
Three things left out.
A parent view is only as trustworthy as what it refuses to show. These are the four that feed it — and the section below the fold is what does not.
Every released result
Totals, per-question marks and the chapter breakdown for every paper the teacher has released. Never a paper that has not been released.
Reach for it whenYou want to know how a specific paper actually went.The map over time
The same chapter breakdown, tracked across every paper, so a weak chapter that is improving looks different from one that is not.
Reach for it whenOne result is noise and you want the shape.What was issued and done
The sets built from weak chapters, and whether they were completed. Not how long they took and not when they were opened.
Reach for it whenYou want to know whether the follow-up actually happened.Sat, absent, or never signed in
Whether your child sat each paper. Nothing about lessons, behaviour or the school day — only the exams.
Reach for it whenA result is missing and you want to know why.
The honest bit
“Is this
“Is this
surveillance?”
A parent app is one design decision away from being something a child hides from. These are the four we get asked, and the answers are deliberately narrow.
“Is this surveillance?”No — and the limits are structural
You see released results, the chapter map, and whether an issued practice set was completed. You do not see when your child logged in, how long they spent, what they opened, where they were, or anything they wrote outside an exam. There is no activity feed and no location, because those are not collected rather than because they are switched off.
The test we hold ourselves to: a fourteen-year-old should be able to read the parent view and find nothing in it they would call spying. If a feature fails that test we do not build it.
“Will this make my child anxious?”Not from a rank — there isn’t one
The single biggest driver of exam anxiety we can control is position in the class, so it is not computed. Your child cannot see it, you cannot see it, and their teacher cannot see it either. What replaces it is a chapter map, which is actionable and much harder to feel humiliated by. Strong chapters are named as prominently as weak ones for the same reason.
“My child’s school doesn’t use it.”You can still use it — with limits
You can follow one child without the school being involved: generate practice from their board and standard, get it marked, and see the chapter map from that. What you will not get is their school papers, because those belong to the school. It is genuinely useful on its own and genuinely better if the school is on it, and we would rather say that than pretend the two are equivalent.
“Who else can see my child’s marks?”Their teacher, and nobody else
Their teacher and, in aggregate, their head of department. Not other parents, not other students, not us for any purpose beyond running the service. Student work and results are not used to train models. If you want it deleted, ask the school and it is deleted — that is a right, not a favour.
Those four answers are the whole privacy position. If any of them changes, it changes here first.
Questions
What parents ask.
The four that come up almost every time.
Yes. Each child is linked separately and shown separately — there is no combined view and no comparison between siblings, which is deliberate. Switching between them is one tap, and each carries its own notification settings, so you can follow a Standard 9 child closely and a Standard 4 child lightly.
Raise it with the teacher, the same as you would with a paper marked by hand. They can change any score, and if they do, the corrected mark and the fact of the correction both appear — nothing is quietly rewritten. What we would suggest first is opening the question, because the parent view shows which phrase in the answer earned each mark and that often settles it either way.
No, and this is the design decision we are most careful about. The default is one notification per released paper. Practice sets, attendance and trend updates are all off unless you turn them on. A parent app that pings all day gets muted within a week, and a muted app is worth nothing to anybody.
Yes, and they can read the same list. The student view includes exactly what the parent view shows, because an app a child feels watched by is one they will work around. There is nothing in the parent account that is hidden from the student it is about.
