Free for parents. Licensed to schools.
Every parent can be their child's guide
Primary Bridge is live. A working platform helping parents understand what their child is learning, know what to say, and confidently support them at home.
Built for real families. Tested with real parents. Designed to remove the literacy, language, and confidence barriers that stop parents engaging with their child's learning.
Schools get a single access code, for example TEST123. No parent accounts or passwords needed.
Why Primary Bridge exists
I remember what it was like watching my parents struggle to help me with my homework. It was not their fault. They grew up during the Second World War and, like so many of that generation, they lost their childhood education to circumstances completely beyond their control. Love and effort filled so many gaps, but they could not bridge the education gap that circumstances had created. Primary Bridge exists because that gap is still there, in millions of families, right now, and the ethical use of technology can help fill it.
6.6 million adults in England have very poor literacy skills. When those adults have primary-age children, the homework gap begins. Primary Bridge is designed to close it.
National Literacy Trust, 2024Built, tested, now being piloted
School pilot
Primary school trial live
Our first school pilot is underway, with further schools confirmed. Introduced to a senior Ofsted inspector who responded strongly to the ZPD and Pupil Premium approach.
Community partner
Library trial live
A library partnership is active, with staff already asking how to support families and identify which schools to bring on board next.
Pilot families
Multiple families, no marketing
The pilot spread from one family without any marketing. Parents share it because it gives them comprehension, cultural capital, and dignity.
Instant access, no barriers
How a parent gets started
No accounts. No passwords. One school code is all it takes.
School shares a PIN
Each school gets a unique access code. Shared in the newsletter, on the noticeboard, or at the school gate.
Parent enters the code
Any device, any browser. No download, no sign-up. They are in within seconds.
Homework help in their language
They type, speak, or photograph the question. Primary Bridge responds in their language, pitched at their child's level.
What the platform does
UK curriculum-based answers
Matched to UK primary content from EYFS through Key Stage 2, in the same language a teacher would use.
ZPD engine
Guidance pitched at the child's zone of proximal development. What a parent can say that helps, not overwhelms.
Multi-modal input
Parents can type, speak, or photograph a worksheet. No typing confidence required.
12 languages, including Then and Now
Full support across 12 languages. Then and Now, which shows how UK teaching has changed, covers parents schooled internationally.
School engagement analytics
Headteachers and MAT leaders see anonymised data showing where families need support, without compromising family privacy.
Year 6 transition hub
Dedicated support for SATs preparation and the move to secondary school, helping families navigate the transition with confidence.
How it fits alongside your existing systems
Primary Bridge does not try to replace the technology schools already use. It sits alongside it. Schools have invested heavily in digital systems. The challenge is ensuring families can engage with the learning those systems support.
Primary Bridge focuses on the human side of that equation: removing literacy, language, and confidence barriers between home and school. That is what makes it compatible with Pupil Premium strategies, EAL support goals, and community engagement plans.

"A bridge succeeds when people cross it without hesitation. Our goal is that every parent reaches the point where supporting their child feels natural, not daunting."
