About Remelia: who makes it and where the name comes from

The story

It began as one family’s maths practice.

Their dad builds it. It began as a set of maths questions for one child and grew into a plan: the curriculum in the order school teaches it, topics that come back before they are forgotten, and a weekly letter that says honestly what has stuck and what has not.

English followed on the same plan: grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary most days, a weekly reading day with 130 passages to draw on, and short timed writing that a parent marks with ticks.

Today Remelia teaches maths and English for Years 3 to 6, with reasoning where a chosen exam sets it, practice for Year 6 SATs and the Year 4 times tables check, and with a Year 7 head start in maths after the exams: 228 maths topics and 90 English topics, in any web browser. It is being opened to other families one exam at a time, with exam plans so far for 329 schools across 249 entrance exams, each with a guide built from the schools’ own pages.
