What is the PiXL Geography app?

A resource that puts the power of PiXL in the hands of the people that can make a difference...YOU!

Whether you are a member of staff or a student, the tool enables you to identify strengths and areas to develop within the Geography curriculum.

The app has been built to identify areas of strength and weakness within Geography and to accurately display this information to the learner and to class teachers. The tool has a bank of built in questions that assesses 9 topic areas using 7 different engaging activities.

One of the strongest parts of the app is the ability to promote engagement. The built in scoreboard feature enables schools to quickly monitor the use both at staff and student level.

How to Get Started

Getting your school set up takes just minutes. Follow these simple steps to start using the PiXL Geography App.

1. Add Your Students

All pupils must first be added to the central PiXL database at appusers.pixl.org.uk.

There are two ways of setting up your student accounts: Excel upload or Wonde (acts as a secure bridge between your MIS and the PiXL Geography App, eliminating manual data entry).

Manual Upload

  • Export CSV from MIS
  • Format data manually
  • Upload to PiXL
  • Update lists regularly

2. Distribute Logins & Launch

Once students are assigned to a Geography class and login details have been shared, everyone can log in immediately.

Teachers can then start setting tasks from the topic and activity library, and students can begin diagnosing their own strengths and weaknesses straight away.

3. Engage Students with the App

Provide opportunities for students to engage with the app regularly. Consider setting homework, using it in interventions, or monitoring progress through the staff analysis tools.

Why this matters:

  • Builds confidence — Students become comfortable with the platform through regular use
  • Drives engagement — The built in scoreboard and engagement points keep students motivated
  • Builds comprehensive profiles — Quickly identify student strengths and areas for development through accumulated data
