Made for ages 4–11

A learning path that finds the right level, then grows with them

From Reception phonics and counting to Year 6 comprehension, algebra and full 11+ reasoning — Lumo places your child gently, adapts every session, and celebrates effort over perfection.

Adapts to your child

A quick, friendly placement finds the starting point. Questions ease off after a wobble and stretch after a streak — always in the zone where learning happens.

Real 11+ preparation

Verbal and non-verbal reasoning, problem solving, timed practice papers and a full mock — the same question styles children meet on the day.

Kind by design

No score ever counts down. No red crosses, no buzzers. A wrong answer is a dim spark waiting for another try — never a failure.

Private by default

Works completely offline with no account. No ads, no third-party trackers, ever. Optional sign-in for backup — and you can erase everything, any time.

The anti-pressure promise

Confidence first. Always.

  • No visible score ever decreases. Progress only glows brighter.
  • Wrong answers dim, they don't buzz. Lumo looks encouraging, the difficulty eases, and the child tries again.
  • Effort is what's celebrated — streaks, sparks and badges reward showing up, not being perfect.
  • No nagging. No guilt notifications, no countdown timers on the child's screen, no dark patterns.

When an answer isn't quite right…

the glow goes quiet — never red — and Lumo says:

"Not quite — let's have another look together."
