About us

Made by parents who needed it too

We home educate our own children, and have felt the joy of learning alongside them — but also the quiet anxiety of wondering whether we are doing enough. We've spent weekends pulling together annual reports and stared at blank pages trying to articulate what our children's education actually looks like.

We also know how to build software that is simple, robust and safe. That combination is why Spark exists.

“It doesn't feel like admin. That's the miracle.”

Chris · home educating dad, Suffolk

“Our maths tutor logs directly into Spark after each session. Everything is in one place and I don't have to remember to add it myself.”

Nicola · home educating mum, Surrey

“The activity suggestions are absolutely brilliant — they've helped give us so many ideas without having to go down any Google or Pinterest rabbit-holes!”

Alice · home educating mum, Gloucestershire

“Simple enough that I actually use it. That's rarer than it sounds.”

Meg · home educating mum, Edinburgh

“The portfolio feature alone is worth it. What used to take me a whole weekend now only takes a few minutes.”

Tom · home educating dad, Bristol

“My daughter asks to add things herself now. Seeing her own learning reflected back at her has done something really lovely for her confidence.”

Andrea · home educating mum, Norfolk

“I didn't have a word for what our learning style was. The quiz suggested Charlotte Mason, and not only does it fit what we were already doing — it's made us so much more intentional with how we approach our days.”
