Not sure which level? Age is a poor predictor of readiness. Our six readiness checks take fifteen minutes and are far more reliable — and children commonly sit at different levels in maths and English.

How it works
Fayferz is built to remove decisions, not add features. The aim is a school day that happens even on the bad weeks.
Fifteen minutes per subject tells you the right starting lesson. Most children sit at different levels in maths and English, and that is completely normal — set each one independently.
Open the app and it tells you which lesson is next. Each one comes with a short video, a method note written for the adult, and a printable worksheet you do not have to source.
Quizzes mark themselves with per-question feedback, so you see which specific sub-skill failed rather than a bare score. Writing tasks come with rubrics and annotated model answers.
Attendance logs, scope-and-sequence plans, graded work samples and progress reports export to PDF whenever an education authority asks — or whenever you just want to see the year.
What “Oxford-aligned” means
Our sequence and teaching approach follow the tradition of Oxford University Press primary materials and the England National Curriculum they are written to. In practice that means two things: the synthetic phonics progression that gets children reading real words in week one, and a mathematics course where word problems arrive early and children are asked to explain rather than only to compute.
It also means the curriculum travels. A child following this sequence can move into a British-curriculum school in Dubai, Singapore, Lagos or Johannesburg with minimal disruption, and continue into IGCSE.
Fayferz is an independent provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Oxford University Press or the University of Oxford.
Every course is a numbered sequence with a start and an end. You will never open Fayferz in the morning and have to decide what to teach.
Lessons and worksheets download. Built at the request of families dealing with load-shedding, satellite internet and metered mobile data.
Instant marking with feedback per question, plus unit tests and timed practice papers from Grade 6 upwards.
The four documents assessors ask for — attendance, learning plan, work samples and assessment results — generated from real activity.
Separate profiles, separate placement, separate progress. One bill. Mixed grade levels are expected rather than awkward.
Downloadable mappings to Common Core, the England National Curriculum, the Australian Curriculum and CAPS — honest about where sequences differ.
From real families
Reviews collected from Fayferz parents across six countries. Names used with permission.
“We came out of school in October with a Grade 2 child who hated maths. The bar-model lessons were the turning point — she stopped guessing which operation to use and started drawing the problem. Six months later she asks for maths first.”

“The downloadable lessons matter more than you would think. With load-shedding we lose power most afternoons, and the school day carries on regardless because everything is already on the tablet.”

“Our NESA registration renewal took an afternoon instead of a fortnight. I exported the scope-and-sequence documents, added our timetable, attached the term reports, and that was the whole submission.”

“I was worried about the jump to Python but the transition lesson showed the same game written in Scratch and in Python side by side. My nine-year-old wrote his own quiz program the following week.”

“Four children at four different levels on one account, and I am not paying four times. The separate progress profiles are what make it workable — nobody is waiting for anybody else.”

“The marked example gallery is the feature I did not know I needed. Writing was the subject I felt least able to judge, and seeing three real samples with a teacher's comments told me exactly where my son stood.”

From the blog
Year plans, subject guides and the legal detail nobody explains clearly. Written by the team that builds the courses.
Most families who stop homeschooling in the first year do so for the same three reasons. Here is a start plan that avoids all of them, step by step.
Oxford-aligned materials are the most requested curriculum at Fayferz. Here is what 'Oxford curriculum' actually means, where it is genuinely excellent, and where it is the wrong choice.
A week-by-week kindergarten plan covering phonics, maths, science and fine motor skills in about two hours a day — with the parts you are allowed to skip marked clearly.
A free account gives you the complete FYP phonics course and the first two lessons of everything else, worksheets included. No card details, and nothing expires.
