💡 "Each year the number of students with Exam Access Arrangements is increasing, while budgets are rapidly decreasing. I saw the need for simple yet secure software to assist schools and students, without breaking the bank!"
ExamPad+ was created by a school network manager who saw first-hand the challenges faced by students with SEND and those entitled to Exam Access Arrangements. These students often had the right to use a word processor in their exams — but arrived on the day having rarely, if ever, used the specific exam software before.
The result was unnecessary anxiety, lost time, and outcomes that didn't reflect what students were truly capable of. The answer was simple but powerful: give students access to the same exam software every single day in class, as part of their normal routine.
That's Classroom Mode — and it's what makes ExamPad+ just work. It's not just an exam tool. It's a daily learning companion that builds genuine familiarity and confidence over months, not minutes.
Because this problem affects students in every school across the country, ExamPad+ iscompletely free for primary and secondary schools.
Designed from the start to support students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Every feature is made with accessibility and inclusion at its core.
Built with security in mind, ExamPad+ can be locked down from the start, with settings being locked behind a password protected admin panel. JCQ & SQA compliant.
No per-student fees, no annual licences, no enterprise pricing. ExamPad+ is free because every student, regardless of their school's budget, deserves access to the right tools.
ExamPad+ is developed inline with JCQ guidelines for Access Arrangements. Ensuring full compliance with JCQ's Instructions for Conducting Examinations (ICE), section 14.25
Built a Network Manager with over 15 years of experience, who understands the real constraints schools face, limited budgets, complex IT environments, and demanding exam season pressure.
