About Atom Learning

Use this copy in your article
Atom Learning is a UK-based exam preparation platform for students aged 7 to 16, covering everything from Key Stage 2 foundations to GCSEs. Its approach is built around short, daily practice rather than intensive cramming, with the platform adapting to each student's level and building a personalised learning path towards their target exam.

The company's core product, Atom Home, is used by families preparing for grammar and independent school entrance exams, GCSE revision and Atom Tuition for 1:1 support. Atom School, used by over 7,000 teachers, gives Key Stage 2 classrooms free access to the same platform, automated marking and pupil data.

Founded in 2018, Atom Learning is now used by more than 350,000 families and partnered with over 2,000 schools across the UK.We work with grammar and independent schools to design and run structured outreach programmes — combining access to Atom's platform with in-school sessions, parent engagement and application support. Every programme is co-designed with you, shaped around your community and your goals.
