Why current platforms fall short

Every UK science teacher knows the frustration. Existing tools leave critical gaps that Supernova fills.

Marking still takes hours

Seneca and Tassomai only handle multiple choice. A 6-mark 'describe the process of osmosis' answer? Still sitting unmarked on a teacher's desk at 10pm.

Stellar Grader marks 6-mark LOR answers in seconds — with keyword heatmaps and examiner feedback.

Teachers can't see who's struggling until it's too late

By the time a student fails their mock, they've spent three months practising the wrong things. No existing platform shows topic-level mastery by individual student in real time.

The Class Heatmap shows every student's RAG status across every spec topic — updated after every answer.

Parents are completely in the dark

Parents want to help. They don't know what their child is struggling with, what homework is due, or how to support revision at home.

The Parent Portal gives every parent a real-time homework tracker and AI-generated home support tips.

Platform features

Everything your science department needs

One platform. Three subjects. Every specification. KS3 to A-Level.

AI MARKING

The only platform that grades 6-mark science answers

Stellar Grader reads your students' written answers and marks them against the official mark scheme in seconds. It highlights matched keywords in green, flags missing content, and writes examiner-style feedback — exactly like a real AQA examiner.

  • Marks MCQ, Short Answer, and 6-Mark Levels of Response
  • Keyword heatmap highlights exactly what students missed
  • Frees up 3-5 hours of marking per teacher per week
  • Works across AQA, Edexcel, and OCR mark schemes
Stellar Grader6-Mark LOR
Describe how the structure of the alveoli is adapted for efficient gas exchange. [6 marks]

The alveoli have a large surface area which increases the rate of diffusion. They have thin walls (one cell thick) to reduce the diffusion distance. A rich blood supply maintains a steep concentration gradient.

5 / 6 marks
Good answer. You correctly identified the large surface area and thin walls. To achieve full marks, mention the moist lining of the alveoli for dissolving gases.
TEACHER INTELLIGENCE

Know exactly who needs help before they fail their mock

The Class Heatmap gives you a real-time RAG status for every student across every curriculum topic. Red means below 40% mastery. Amber means 40-70%. Green means on track.

  • Formula-driven — not subjective teacher gut feel
  • Updates after every student submission in real time
  • One-click to launch a targeted Supernova Sprint
  • AI-generated Weekly Insight Reports identify misconceptions

NOVASCAN AI

Any textbook page becomes a practice session in 10 seconds

Students photograph their revision notes, textbook pages, or past paper questions. NovaScan extracts the content, identifies the exact specification topic, and generates three multiple-choice questions and a bridge question — instantly.

  • Works on any printed or handwritten science content
  • Auto-matched to AQA, Edexcel, or OCR specification codes
  • Generated questions save straight to Daily Retrieval Protocol
  • Teachers see which topics students are independently studying

COGNITIVE RETRIEVAL SCIENCE

The SM-2 algorithm. Used by medical students worldwide.

The Daily Retrieval Protocol uses the same spaced repetition science that helps medical students memorise thousands of drug interactions. Supernova applies it to AQA specification points — scheduling each topic for review right before a student forgets it.

  • Proven to increase long-term retention by up to 200%
  • Cards scheduled automatically — no teacher setup needed
  • 'Orbit Clear' completion state keeps students motivated
  • NovaScan generates new cards from any scanned content

Trusted by science educators

From classroom teachers to multi-academy trust leaders.

The Class Heatmap showed me in 30 seconds that 60% of my Year 11 class had red on Transport in Cells — two weeks before their mock. I launched a Sprint, and their paper average jumped 14 marks. I genuinely don't know how I taught without it.

As a MAT curriculum director, I've evaluated every major science platform on the market. Supernova is the only one that actually addresses the marking problem at scale. The Stellar Grader handles 6-mark questions — that's the game changer.

My students are using NovaScan to turn their revision notes into practice questions. They've taken ownership of their revision in a way I've never seen before. Three of them hit 100% mastery in Atomic Structure this week.
