Studying is important for educational development and reducing anxiety around exams - but did you know that progress can be influenced by the time of day children learn?

Recent research by edtech specialists Atom Learning found that primary school children learn better when they study in the morning.

In fact, children aged between seven and 11 who engaged in learning activities earlier in the day made 59 percent more progress than those who studied in the evening.

Data from 1,000 primary school pupils in years 3 to 6 was analysed over one month to compare the performance of children who answered questions mainly in the morning (pre-11am) with those who answered questions mainly in the evening (post-5pm).
