[+]What is BrainPOP UK?

BrainPOP UK is an educational resource, that features movies for Science, Maths, English, Design and Technology, Humanities, PSHE and Citizenship. Each animated film is between 2-5 minutes, and makes complex topics both simple and accessible! Each movie is followed by an optional, short quiz.


[+]What age range is BrainPOP UK suitable for?

BrainPOP UK is used by children between 7 and 14, and it was designed to fit the KS2 and KS3 curricula requirements. Parents love the way that they can share in the learning and fun with their children of different ages to support school work and stimulate curiosity.


[+]Is BrainPOP UK safe?

Absolutely! We maintain the highest standards of Internet child safety, and always ask for a parent or guardian’s email address. If you’d like to know more please see BrainPOP UK’s privacy policy.


[+]How can I view all the movies on the app?

To watch all of the movies & quizzes in the app, you need to subscribe to the BrainPOP UK website. This will provide a username and password that allows access to the main web version (viewable on Flash enabled devices) and can be used to log in through the iPad app too.

To subscribe go to www.brainpop.co.uk/store and select the appropriate option and follow the instructions. It should only take a few minutes.

Schools can buy 1 or more years by invoice; Parents can buy 1, 6 or 12 month access using credit/debit cards or PayPal.

Once you have been through the subscription process you will have a username and password that works on the app AND the website.

If you get stuck along the way or something isn't clear, call us on 0800 141 2404 (or 01865 263 000, if on a mobile) and we'll be happy to help!
