Our mission

Make assessment data easier to act on

Teachers already collect a huge amount of useful information from mocks, past papers and classroom assessments. The problem is often the time it takes to turn those marks into something useful.

QLAMaster is designed to make that process clearer. It analyses performance by question, topic and paper, then helps turn those patterns into practical feedback and revision priorities.

The aim is simple: less time wrestling with data, more time deciding what to teach next.

Why QLAMaster exists

Question-level analysis should be useful, not another admin job

QLA can reveal exactly where students are losing marks, but getting there often means repetitive spreadsheets, manual calculations and hours of sorting results.

01

Start with the paper

Use an existing QLAMaster-ready assessment, create your own paper, or use AI-assisted mapping to prepare a new assessment.

02

Add the marks

Enter the question-level marks your class achieved using a familiar spreadsheet workflow.

03

Get the analysis

Upload the completed file and QLAMaster analyses performance by question, topic and paper.

04

Turn it into action

Create personalised feedback and revision outputs that help students understand where to focus next.

Informed by evidence

Helping assessment lead to useful next steps

QLAMaster is designed around approaches that are well supported by education research — including effective feedback, helping students understand their current performance and making appropriate next steps clearer.

Feedback EEF

Make feedback more focused

The Education Endowment Foundation identifies feedback as an approach with strong evidence of positive impact on learning.

QLAMaster helps teachers use question-level assessment data to identify strengths and gaps, making it easier to produce more focused feedback and clearer priorities for students.

Reflection EEF

Help students understand where to focus

Evidence around metacognition and self-regulated learning highlights the importance of helping students plan, monitor and evaluate their learning.

QLAMaster helps make assessment strengths, gaps and revision priorities easier to see, giving teachers clearer information to support those conversations.

Assessment Practice

Use assessment information more effectively

Assessment data is most useful when it helps teachers decide what students understand, where misconceptions remain and what should happen next.

QLAMaster organises question-level results into clearer patterns by question, topic and paper, helping teachers move from raw marks towards practical teaching and revision decisions.

A note on the evidence

References to external research describe the wider evidence base for teaching, assessment and feedback practices. They do not mean that QLAMaster itself has been independently evaluated, endorsed by or affiliated with any external organisation or research body.

Our story

Built around a problem teachers already know

2025

The idea

QLAMaster started with a simple frustration: question-level analysis can be extremely useful, but producing it manually is repetitive and time-consuming.

2025

Building the workflow

The product was shaped around a practical school workflow: prepare the assessment, enter marks, upload the data and turn it into clearer feedback.

Today

Developing QLAMaster further

QLAMaster now supports question, topic and paper analysis alongside personalised student feedback, with further tools for departments and schools continuing to be developed.

Practical outputs

Analysis matters most when it leads to useful next steps for teaching, intervention and revision.

Built for UK assessment

QLAMaster is designed around UK exam boards, specifications, past papers and school assessment workflows.

Independent platform

Designed for UK exam boards
