Know exactly how they're doing
PenLeap helps primarily pupils in Years 4 and 5 preparing for the 11+ build their whole English: creative writing, spelling, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary, with examiner-style marking and progress a parent can follow. You get your own account showing every mark, every correction and every deadline — for each of your children.

Profile PIN
Set by you. Too many wrong attempts locks the profile rather than allowing an endless guess.
Add a child in a minute
Create a profile for each child from your own account. No separate email address per child, and no sharing one login between siblings.
Two PINs, two jobs
A parent PIN keeps your dashboard, billing and settings yours. A four-digit profile PIN puts each child into their own space and nobody else's.
Told when it matters
Notifications when work is marked, homework falls due, or a child's results move — so you are not refreshing a dashboard to find out.
One balance, clearly spent
Marking is metered, and the wallet shows exactly what has been used and what is left. No silent overage and no guessing what a submission costs.
Rewards, where a school offers them
If your child's tuition provider runs recognition or gift rewards, you can see what they have earned and confirm a delivery address for anything physical.
Support with a thread, not a black hole
Raise a support message from inside your account and follow the whole conversation in one place, with the history still there next time.
Export your data
Take a copy of your family's data whenever you want it. It is your child's work, and leaving should never mean losing it.
Stay connected to their learning
Everything you need to support your child's progress, without looking over their shoulder.
Every mark, and the working behind it
Open any piece your child submitted and see exactly what they saw: the rubric scores, the sentence-level corrections, and the stronger rewrite they were shown.
Homework and deadlines at a glance
Which tasks a tutor or school has set, what is done, what is still open, and what has locked because the attempts ran out — without asking your child.
SPaG and vocabulary, topic by topic
Spelling, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary broken down by topic rather than rolled into one score, so you can see precisely where the ground is soft.
Analytics over any period
This week, this month, the last thirty days or a range you choose — across creative writing, practice and school-set resources for each child separately.
Learning Seeds from their school
If your child's school or tutor uses PenLeap, you can see the resources they have been assigned, what has been completed and how the quizzes went.
Their whole writing history
Every marked piece stays in one portfolio, so a term of progress is visible side by side — and printable to take to a tutor or a parents' evening.
A straight answer to “how are they doing?”
One email a week, per child. What they did, where the same mistake keeps coming back, and what to work on next.

Mistakes that repeated
Suggested next: Apostrophes
Punctuation was the most frequent correction this week, and apostrophes accounted for most of it.
A fixed week, not a running total
Each report covers one week, so you can see whether the last seven days were better or worse rather than watching a lifetime average barely move.
The mistakes that keep repeating
Errors are grouped by kind — spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalisation, clarity, style — so a pattern shows up as a pattern instead of thirty separate corrections.
What to practise next, and why
The report names the practice it suggests and the reason it picked it, which gives you something concrete to sit down and do together.
In the dashboard, by email, as a PDF
Read it in your dashboard, receive it in your inbox, or download the PDF to take to a tutor or a parents' evening.
Set up in four simple steps
From signing up to seeing your first marked piece takes about the length of one cup of tea.
Create your parent account
Sign up in under a minute. The account is yours and your child never logs in as you. You add each child inside it, then subscribe for the children you want learning.
Add each child and set a PIN
Create a profile per child from your dashboard. Each gets a four-digit PIN for their own space, and you set a separate PIN for the parent area.
They write, it comes back marked
Your child types a piece or photographs handwritten work. It is marked against examiner rubrics with corrections and a stronger rewrite to learn from.
You see all of it
Every mark, homework deadline and practice topic in your dashboard — plus a weekly report by email summarising the week and what to work on next.
Built for someone else's child
Separate accounts, PINs on both sides, and a delete button that actually deletes. The things you would want to check before handing a login to a nine-year-old.
The parent area is behind a PIN
Your dashboard, billing and settings sit behind a parent PIN. A child using the same device on the same session cannot wander into them.
Each child has their own profile PIN
Children switch into their own profile with a four-digit PIN, and repeated wrong entries lock the attempt rather than allowing an endless guess.
Their writing is never used to train AI
Submissions are stored to give feedback and show progress. They are not fed into model training, and they are not shared with other families.
You can delete it, properly
As a parent you can delete any submission together with its feedback at any time, and it is removed from your child's account.
Consent recorded against a policy version
What you agreed to is stored against the exact version of the policy that was live at the time, so a later change never quietly rewrites your consent.
Concerning content is flagged
Where a school or tuition provider is involved, content that raises a safeguarding concern is recorded for the responsible adults there to review.
Built for the parent, not just the pupil
Your own account, alongside your child's, with everything you need to follow their progress.
Every mark, and the working behind it
Open any piece your child submitted and see what they saw: the rubric scores, the sentence-level corrections and the stronger rewrite.
More than one child, one account
Create a profile per child from your own account. No separate email address per child, and no sharing a login between siblings.
Homework and deadlines at a glance
What a tutor or school has set, what is done, what is still open and what has locked because the attempts ran out.
A weekly summary you do not have to chase
One report per child per week: what they completed, which mistakes keep repeating, and the practice it suggests next.
Questions? Answered.
Subscriptions and payment, what is covered, adding more than one child, the weekly report, accessibility support, and what happens to your child's work.
