RemeliaSeveral children
In the parents’ app, add each child with a first name and a year group; nothing else is asked for there. Each has their own letter, plan and controls. Up to 6 children can share one device, each with their own record.
For parents
What you see as a parent.
Your child practises on their own device. You get a plain letter each week, progress shown honestly, a way to check the plan with school, and the controls, in the parents’ app on your own phone.

Getting started
Four steps to begin.
The first three happen on your child’s device, with you beside them. The account comes when you want the letter on your own phone.
Set up your child on their device
Open Remelia in any web browser on their laptop, tablet or phone; nothing to install. Give a first name, year group and pronouns, and their school if you like.
Choose the schools
Next in the set-up: tick every school your child might apply for, grouped by exam, or “Not sure yet” for the curriculum with no exam date. None is chosen for you; skip it and This week asks again, and Controls changes it at any time.
The starting check
24 maths questions find where your child is, so practice starts in the right place. The English check, 16 questions, comes the next day.
Your account, in the parents’ app
When you are ready, create it at parents.remelia.co.uk on your phone, add your child, and type the code it shows into their device.
Each exam plan is dated from your child’s year group: Remelia works to the sitting for the September they start Year 7. For a school without a plan, choose “Not sure yet” and Remelia teaches the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.
Opens in this browser — use your child’s device. No account needed to start. Linking is optional: without it, everything stays on your child’s device and For grown-ups is there to read.
This week and the letter
One letter a week, and at most one thing to do.
This week is the page to open once a week, in the parents’ app or in For grown-ups. It answers what a parent is really asking: are we on track, is my child all right, and is there anything for me to do?
The full letter then goes subject by subject, naming each topic that is not secure yet. Your child is compared with the curriculum and with themselves last month, never with other children.
What This week tells you
- The headline, in one sentence. “Nothing here needs your attention” is a finding like any other.
- On track or not, with the assumption behind it written underneath.
- How sessions have felt, from your child’s own taps at the end of each one.
- At most one thing worth your attention, and where to help.
Progress, and the range
An honest range, with its assumption next to it.
Progress is counted in secure topics: ones your child has answered correctly after a gap of about 20 days, remembered rather than just done.
“On current evidence, between … and … of the … will be secure by the exam.”
- It counts the topics that became secure in each of the last four weeks.
- It carries that pace forward to the exam date, and widens the range for how much the pace has varied week to week.
- It never counts fewer than are secure now, or more than the exam’s list holds.
The assumption: that the recent pace holds. It is said every time, and a steadier pace narrows the range.
It is a range over how much of the syllabus will be covered, never over passing: what score passes is not published, so a predicted result would be invented.
The Progress page has the rest: how many of each chosen exam’s objectives are secure, the time left, every year and strand, and what is not taught yet. It is in For grown-ups on your child’s device.
School
In step with your child’s class.
Remelia teaches maths in the order your child’s school does. The School page is where you keep it that way.
- The school your child goes to, chosen from the list of UK schools, so the pages can name it and fill in its term dates.
- The maths scheme it follows: White Rose Maths, Power Maths or Maths — No Problem!
- This half-term’s topics, to confirm, or to move if the class is somewhere else.
- Topics your child says school has started, for you to confirm or decline.
Not sure what the class is doing? One tap drafts an email to the teacher asking for the half-term plan.
To your child’s teacher
Subject Year 5 maths: what is taught each half-term?
Dear teacher,
I am Sam’s parent. Is the maths long-term plan for Year 5 on the school website? If it is, could you send me the link?
If not, could you tell me which maths blocks Year 5 covers each half-term this year, and which scheme the school follows (White Rose, Power Maths or another)?
It helps me keep practice at home in step with class. Thank you.
Kind regards
Controls
You set how it goes.
In both places, under Controls. Changes take effect from your child’s next session; made on your phone, they reach your child’s device the next time it is in touch.
- Schools and exams
- Every school your child might sit for. The plan covers everything their exams need, and its clock follows whichever exam comes next. With none ticked, the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.
- Subjects
- Maths and English, each on or off. By default, every subject the chosen schools test; turn one off and the letter still says when an exam tests it.
- Session length
- From 8 to 20 minutes; about 12 by default. In the last 14 days before an exam, 8 minutes at most, with nothing new.
- Pace against school
- Only what school has taught, up to a term ahead (the default), or the whole year at any time.
- Breaks
- Three fortnights off a year, around Christmas, Easter and August, following the school’s holidays unless you set the dates. Nothing is lost: topics wait.
- A different day each week
- After two days of practice in a week, one session takes a different shape, using reviews and never new topics.
- Reading day
- From the autumn of Year 5, when a chosen exam tests English, the different day becomes a reading day: an unseen passage and 9 questions on it.
- Their world
- The names in word problems: friends, a pet, a team, favourite places. These stay on your child’s device and are never sent.
- Pronouns
- How the app speaks of your child to you, in the letter and on these pages.
Maths papers to print at home
Also under Controls: a maths practice paper for your child to work through with pen and paper.
- 10, 20 or 30 questions, multiple choice with ovals to shade on a separate answer sheet, or short written answers in boxes.
- From the whole exam plan: the Years 3 to 5 maths in the plan for the Trafford grammar schools (FSCE) test, spread across the strands and ordered by year.
- Made again from its code, printed on every part. Nothing about a paper is stored or sent.
Maths only. The papers are practice made by Remelia, not past papers, and are best once your child has met everything they cover.

Answers, for you
Children, devices and data
One account for the family, and nothing sent until you say.
Linking a device
The parents’ app shows a code. On your child’s device, open For grown-ups, then Devices and data, and type it in. A code works once, for 10 minutes. Linked devices share one record; unlinking keeps everything on the device.
What leaves the device
Nothing about the child leaves the device unless a grown-up links it to an account. Then only the child’s answers, the grown-ups’ settings and the device’s name go, and only to that account.
- Never sent, linked or not: your child’s world (their name as typed on their device, and their friends, pet, team, places and hobbies) and how sessions felt.
- Your email address: for signing in, with a password kept only as a one-way hash by Remelia’s own sign-in service; it is emailed only to check it and to reset a forgotten password.
- Deleting: A deleted child or account is kept for 30 days in case of a change of mind, then deleted for good; the service’s own backups are overwritten within 35 days after that.
Your first letter starts with one session.
Open Remelia on your child’s device, then create your account in the parents’ app to follow along on your phone.
