About Maxwell

What Maxwell is

Is this a replacement for a teacher?

No. Maxwell supports learning between lessons and keeps the teacher in control of assessment, feedback and reporting.

Which course does it cover?

GCSE and International GCSE Physics.

Does my child need a school account?

Students can use Maxwell for independent learning, and teachers can additionally assign work through a school classroom.

What does Early Access mean?

The capabilities described on this website are built and working for selected users while they continue to be refined with feedback.

Oversight

How teachers stay in control

Marks, feedback and progress reports are reviewed by a teacher before they are released. Maxwell prepares them; a teacher decides what is shared.
