How do I create a competition within my school?

You can set a competition between individual students or teams within your school

In a competition, students will play games just as they would in training or challenges, but the questions they answer will count towards the competition. Each participant will be able to see their ranking or their team's ranking on a competition leaderboard on their Student Dashboard

How to set a competition between individual students

1. Go into Set Work
2. Click 'create & view' in the Competitions box
3. Click 'create a competition'
4. Select the subject you want to set the competition for and click 'next'
5. Select all the students you want to include and click 'next'
6. If you would like the skills included in the competition to be automatically chosen, click 'next' and skip to Step 8. If you'd like to choose your own skills, make sure you have the students you want to set skills for chosen in the 'select' column on the left. Click 'set skills'
7. Select the skills you want to assign to the students you selected previously. You can filter by levels or topics using the options in the column on the left. Click 'next'
