Classroom 42 provides online learning resources to secondary school teachers and pupils.

We offer innovative tools like Examinator, an AI tool that generates spec-aligned exam questions and gives instant feedback on pupils' exam responses. Our customisable Exam Builder tool allows for personalised exam preparation. Pupils and teachers can also access interactive quizzes, videos, and flashcards, all on one single platform.

From easy to use resources to top-tier AI-powered features, our mission is to drive down teacher workload and improve student outcomes across the world.

Classroom 42 originally started as The PE Classroom in 2018. To better serve all subjects across a school with a single platform and brand identity, Classroom 42 was created. In 2026, The PE Classroom was shut down and fully merged into Classroom 42.

Classroom 42 is operated by GCSE Classroom Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 13318939.

Our platform's name is a slight tongue-in-cheek reference to a certain, well-known sci-fi series. Whilst we don't believe to have every answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, we like to think our platform helps teachers and students get that little bit closer! 🌌🤖

Teacher and Pupil packages provide any number of students and teachers access to one course. Every pupil and teacher receives an individual login. Pupils will not be able to access some teacher-only features like Mock Exams and Exam Builder.

A Teacher Package provides access to teachers who want all resources and features on the site without the need to set work for pupils.

Absolutely! Through Exam Builder or Activity Generator, teachers can set work ahead of time for pupils to complete at home. Results and questions are collected in the Teacher Dashboard.

Whilst we can't guarantee that AI won't make any mistakes, feedback from our strong community of teachers is overwhelmingly positive.

Since we introduced Examinator in 2024, we have continually updated and improved the underpinning technology that powers AI feedback, ensuring it is spec-aligned, responsive, and accurate. Testing happens regularly, and features are constantly improved to ensure pupils' receive individualised, actionable feedback. For example, our Aim Higher and Simplify features help students access feedback at more appropriate levels.

Do try out our AI features through any of our sample courses and see what you think!

Classroom 42 includes safeguards designed to reduce the risk of pupils receiving harmful or inappropriate AI-generated content. Where a pupil’s response indicates that they may need support, the system is designed to provide an appropriate safety-focused response and direct them towards trusted sources of professional help.

Teachers can review pupils’ submitted responses and the feedback generated by the platform through their Teacher Dashboard.

Classroom 42 is an educational platform and is not an emergency, counselling or safeguarding-reporting service. Its safeguards do not replace teacher oversight or a school’s existing safeguarding policies and procedures. Schools remain responsible for reviewing concerns and referring them to the designated safeguarding lead where appropriate.
