A complete teaching and learning platform for your department
Nova isn't a bank of PDFs. It's a live platform where pupils learn through structured Sprints, practise real exam questions against real mark schemes, and where every answer feeds the class data your teachers actually need.

Intelligent marking
Marking that happens while you teach
MCQs are marked instantly, exam-style answers are self-marked against real mark schemes with examiner guidance, and every result flows straight into your class data. No piles of books required to know where your class stands.
- Instant MCQ marking with misconception feedback
- Mark-scheme-led self-marking for exam questions
- Every mark feeds your class analytics automatically
Marksheets & class overview
A live marksheet for every class, without the spreadsheet
See completion, scores and confidence for every pupil in one grid. Sort by struggling pupils, drill into any cell, and export evidence for line management or Ofsted in minutes.
- Class-by-class marksheet grids
- Drill into any pupil or question
- Export-ready evidence
Knowledge gap identification
Know exactly which topics are holding your class back
Topic-level heatmaps and mastery grids show precisely where knowledge breaks down — per pupil and per class — so intervention time goes exactly where it's needed.
- Topic heatmaps across the whole specification
- Automatic weak-topic identification
- Per-pupil mastery over time
Assessment & exam practice
Real past-paper questions, organised by your specification
Thousands of exam questions mapped to spec references, with mark schemes, examiner tips and misconception warnings. Pupils practise under timed conditions and a working grade updates live.
- Past papers & mark schemes built in
- Timed exam-condition practice
- Live working grade against target grade
Pupil progress
Progress you can show a parent, a line manager or an inspector
Every pupil has a progress profile: objectives secured, confidence ratings, assessment trajectory and revision activity. Reports generate themselves from real evidence.
- Objective-by-objective RAG tracking
- Confidence vs performance discrepancy alerts
- One-click progress reports
Structured learning
Structured Learning Sprints replace 'go and revise'
Guided, objective-led Sprints walk pupils through content, practice and reflection step by step — ideal for homework, cover lessons and independent study that actually gets done.
- Objective-led guided lessons
- Built-in practice with hints
- Perfect for homework & intervention
