Score submissions (18/20), write feedback the pupil sees on their dashboard, and clear your marking queue.
Per-pupil XP bars, ranks and streaks; a class average from your marked work; a live activity feed of completions.

Pupil accounts carry minimal data, nothing is sold or shared, and the platform follows the UK Children's Code.
1. Sign up with your school or tuition-centre email at teacher sign-up (webmail addresses aren't accepted — that keeps the roster tools professional). 2. Add pupils from the dashboard — no pupil email needed. 3. Assign a paper with a due date. 4. Pupils download and complete the paper, then mark it done. 5. You mark and feed back; scores land on their dashboard and in your class average.
Yes — free with no seat limits, no card and no trial countdown. Add as many pupils as you teach, assign any paper in the library, mark work and record feedback, all at no cost. See how that compares with paid 11+ platforms.
To keep the roster tools professional. Teacher accounts require a school or tuition-centre email address — free webmail (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) is not accepted. Pupils, by contrast, can sign up with any email.
Yes. From the dashboard you create pupil accounts with just a name, username and password — no email needed. Share the login with the pupil and they appear on your roster instantly.
Anything in the library: 5,057 worksheets, 180 mock papers and 520 centre-specific exams — or a custom-titled task of your own. Set a due date and an optional note; pupils see it on their dashboard immediately.
When a pupil marks work complete, it appears in your 'awaiting marking' queue. Record a score (e.g. 18/20) and written feedback; the pupil sees both on their dashboard, and your class average updates automatically.
A teacher or tutor account turns Quest Arena from a library into a teaching system. The library on its own is useful — worksheets, mock papers and centre-specific exams that any pupil can open for free — but the dashboard is what lets you plan a term, set homework to a deadline, mark it consistently and see who is falling behind before the real exam does the telling. Everything below is free forever: there are no seat limits, no card on file and no trial that quietly expires. You can run one pupil or a full cohort on exactly the same tools.
The UK 11+ tests four skill areas — English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning — and a common mistake is to over-drill the two a child already enjoys while the weaker two drift. Because the library is tagged by subject and difficulty, you can assign deliberately across all four each week rather than by whatever paper happens to be nearest to hand. GL Assessment, the dominant provider for most grammar-school regions, sets tightly timed, multiple-choice papers with no calculator, so it is worth assigning at least one timed paper a fortnight from around Year 5 so that pace becomes a habit rather than a shock. A sensible rhythm looks like this:
The loop is deliberately short so it fits around real teaching. You assign a paper to selected pupils with a due date and an optional note; each pupil sees the task on their own dashboard the moment you save it. They download or open the paper, complete it, and mark it done. That submission drops into your awaiting marking queue, where you record a score — say 18/20 — and written feedback. Both appear on the pupil's dashboard, and your class average updates automatically. The value is not the individual numbers but the pattern they reveal over a term: a pupil who scores well on untimed worksheets but slips on timed papers has a pacing problem, not a knowledge gap, and the fix is different.
| Dashboard action | What it gives you | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| Assign with due date | A task on every chosen pupil's dashboard, with an optional note | Setting weekly homework and holiday practice to a deadline |
| Awaiting-marking queue | A single list of everything submitted and not yet marked | Batch marking a whole class in one sitting |
| Score and feedback | A mark plus written comments the pupil sees instantly | Correcting a specific misconception while it is fresh |
| Per-pupil progress | XP, rank and streak for each pupil over time | Spotting a plateau or a drop in engagement early |
| Class average | A rolling figure built only from work you have marked | Judging whether a topic needs re-teaching to the group |
In a school setting, the roster tools matter most: you can create pupil accounts with just a name, username and password — no pupil email required — so a whole class is set up in a few minutes and nothing sensitive is collected. The class average and activity feed then act as a low-effort formative-assessment layer sitting alongside your normal planning. For independent tutors, the same dashboard becomes a session log and a between-lessons homework channel: set work at the end of a session, mark it before the next, and arrive already knowing what to cover. Because everything is free, you can also point a family at the wider site — the exam guides and the 11+ key dates page — without asking them to pay for anything.
Quest Arena adds light gamification — XP, streaks and a leaderboard — because a child who returns to practise willingly progresses faster than one who is nagged into it. The important discipline for a teacher is to keep the marked score honest and separate from the motivational XP: praise the streak, but let the feedback do the teaching. A Standard Age Score on a real GL paper is age-adjusted, so a younger child in the cohort is not penalised for being younger; mirroring that fairness in how you frame progress — improvement against a pupil's own earlier work rather than against the fastest child — keeps confidence intact through the run-up to the exam.
Yes. There are no seat limits, no card required and no trial countdown. You can roster as many pupils as you teach, assign any paper in the library, mark work and record feedback at no cost. If you are comparing options, the difference from paid platforms is simply that nothing here sits behind a paywall.
You can assign straight from the stocked library — worksheets, mocks and centre-specific papers are all ready to set — or create a custom-titled task of your own if you want pupils to complete something offline and report back. Most teachers use a mix: library papers for volume and timing practice, custom tasks for anything bespoke to their group.
Your marking is the signal. Because scores and feedback accumulate per pupil, patterns surface quickly — a run of low marks in one skill area, or strong untimed work that weakens under time pressure. From there you can assign targeted practice from the revision hub and check the how-it-works overview if you want a fuller picture of how the pupil view fits together.
