What your school gets

Everything you need to run learning on Zelo

Free to start with School Starter. School Pro adds unlimited students, classes and products, plus the full set of tools.

Your school portal

One home for your school: members, join codes, verification, staff approvals and settings, run by your administrators.

A portal for every teacher

Teachers create classes, track each student’s activity and set work, all from their own dashboard.

Subject notes for every class

Notes on any topic pitched at the right class and age, with practice questions and video lessons to revise from.

Quizzes and classroom challenges

Set a quiz in minutes from your own questions, the shared library or Zilly, or a written task you grade with feedback.

Online classes

Live video and voice classrooms. Teachers lead, and invite students to speak one at a time.

Your own school shop

Sell books, uniforms, merchandise and digital resources to your community, with orders and payouts in one place.

Engagement analytics

Weekly trends in posts, discussion and points, and the share of students active this week.

Safety you can show parents

Every post is screened before it appears, moderators review reports, and there is no private messaging.

Dashboards

See who is learning, and who has gone quiet

For every student: posts, comments, debate arguments, challenge results, points and when they were last active. Teachers see their classes; administrators see the whole school.

Questions

What schools ask us

What can staff see about students?
Public activity by students who have joined your school: posts, debate participation, challenge results, points and classroom submissions. Staff cannot see Zilly conversations, bookmarks or account settings.
Is there private messaging?
No. All interaction on Zelo happens in public, moderated spaces: posts, comments, debate rooms, challenges and online classes led by a teacher. That is a deliberate safeguarding decision.
How do online classes work?
A teacher starts a live room for a class. Students join with voice, and video if they choose; the teacher decides who may speak and can remove anyone. Live rooms are not recorded.
How old do students need to be?
Members must be at least 13. Educator and school accounts are for adults aged 18 and over.
Can we use Zelo without the shop?
Yes. The marketplace is optional; portals, notes, quizzes and classes work without it.
What does verification involve?
We check the details you submit against public records and may contact the school using its official contact details. Using a school email address speeds this up.
