How do I know if we've covered the whole GCSE specification?

Each subject is broken into its specification topics with progress tracking, so you can see at a glance which topics are complete, in progress, or not yet started — removing the anxiety of wondering whether you've missed anything.

GCSE Home Education Planner | Track AQA, Edexcel & OCR at Home

Q: How do I plan GCSEs for home education?

Start by choosing the GCSE subjects and exam boards (AQA, Edexcel or OCR) your child will sit. Break each specification into topics, schedule them across a weekly timetable working back from the exam date, and log work as you go. Homeducate does this automatically with pre-loaded GCSE topic structures so you can see exactly what's covered and what's left.

Q: Which GCSE exam boards does Homeducate support?

Homeducate includes topic structures for AQA, Edexcel and OCR across the most common GCSE subjects, including Maths, English Language and Combined Science.

Q: Can I use it for more than one child?

Yes. One family subscription covers up to 5 students, each with their own subjects, timetable and progress.

"Are We Actually Covering the Whole GCSE?"

It's the question that keeps home-educating parents up at night.

📋

Scattered Specifications

GCSE specs run to dozens of pages per subject. Tracking coverage across Maths, English and Science by hand is exhausting and error-prone.

⏳

No Sense of Pace

Without a plan tied to exam dates, it's hard to know whether you're ahead, behind, or about to run out of time.

❓

Hidden Gaps

The topics you skip are the ones you forget. Gaps only surface in past papers — often far too late.
