PE Pulse
A subscription platform I built from scratch to deliver a large library of primary PE lesson plans to schools.
What needed solving
My client had written a large library of PE lesson plans for primary schools, but they lived in Word documents. There was no product, no way for a school to buy them and no easy way for teachers to use them in the hall. PE Pulse didn't exist. My client commissioned me to build it, and I designed and built the whole platform: the lesson library and teaching tools, school subscriptions and payments, and the admin system my client uses to run the business.
Protected lesson library
1,862 lessons in 266 units, from Nursery to Year 6, organised by sport and year group. Lessons only open for schools whose subscription covers them, and new and improved lessons arrive in versioned releases.
Launch Lesson
Teachers teach straight from a screen in the hall. The lesson runs in five phases with timers, so nobody has to juggle paper.
Curriculum map
A whole-year plan for every year group that the school sets up its own way, and exports as an A4 PDF for the staffroom.
Assessment
Teachers assess pupils and classes against 105 descriptors across 15 activities and 7 year groups, with classes and a teaching schedule built in.
School subscriptions and payments
Schools buy online through Stripe, with three plans, free trials, promo codes and a self-service billing portal.
School accounts and teams
Each school gets its own account, with invitations, a school code, seat limits by plan, and roles for teachers and school admins.
Print and PDF
Any lesson prints cleanly on one or two sides, with a print preview.
Teaching resources
Progression maps, SEND sheets, CPD, wellbeing and inspection material, all in one place.
Wobbalots Academy
An early-years add-on of 126 sessions, sold as its own licence.
School-friendly emails
Invitations, welcome and getting-started emails, trial reminders and a monthly lesson update. They only go out in school hours, with a weekly limit, so teachers aren't flooded.
Admin system for the client
A lesson editor, schools and users, curriculum releases, promo codes, support tickets, product updates, legal agreements and analytics showing which lessons are opened and printed.
Public pages and tours
Search-friendly pages and pricing that bring schools in, and guided tours that show new teachers around.
Lessons in 266 units, Nursery to Year 6, live and maintained
Word documents turned into a full SaaS platform that schools buy and use online
