On Tuesday 04th February, Eva, a year 10 student from The Manor Academy, was surprised with a Chromebook laptop. This prize was awarded after Eva answered the 2 billionth question on the Educake platform. This milestone marks an incredible celebration of learning and showcases the power of retrieval practice in education

The 2 billionth question was part of a quiz on atmospheric pollutants, a key topic in GCSE science.

Speaking on the event Manor Academy Katrina Kerry, commented: “We are so proud of Eva and have really enjoyed this opportunity to showcase one of our amazing students. Our Year 10 and 11 students work incredibly hard over the course of their GCSE studies and to see students such as Eva going that extra mile to improve her Educake score is so inspiring and promising for when she sits both her Mock exams and GCSE’s. Myself and the Leadership team at Manor Academy hope that she enjoys this extremely well deserved prize”.
