- Voice dictation with automatic transcription
- AI extracts syllabus elements, competency updates, and observations
- Next-lesson recommendations generated automatically
- Searchable lesson history across all pupils

Know exactly when a pupil is test-ready
No more gut feeling. Orbit analyses syllabus coverage, competency scores, lesson frequency, and consistency to give you a data-driven view of test readiness. If the pupil practises theory in their Orbit account, you also see how ready they are for the theory test. Recommend test dates with confidence and reduce the number of pupils who fail because they weren't quite ready.
- Readiness score based on syllabus completion and competency grades
- Highlights gaps that need addressing before test day
- Track mock test results alongside real progress
- Theory test readiness from the pupil's own practice, with their weakest topics
- Active, Waiting, Inactive, and Passed status tabs to organise your roster

Messages and reflective logs in one place
Keep lesson chat out of your personal WhatsApp. Message any pupil from Orbit and the whole conversation stays on their record. After each lesson, pupils are prompted to fill in a reflective log: what went well, what was hard, what to work on and how they felt out of 5. You see it on the lesson in their record, and you can write or edit the log yourself.
- One message thread per pupil, kept in Orbit
- Pupils without an Orbit account get your messages by email
- One reflective log per lesson, which you and your pupil can both write
- Pupil-written logs are marked so you know who wrote them
