Doodle is designed to be used for 10 minutes a day, or ‘little and often’, using Doodle in this way has been proven by the University of Bath to raise attainment and reduce learning loss.
Julie Peters, Year 1 Teacher/Maths Lead: Children enjoy using the program although there have been teething issues with some children becoming frustrated at not achieving. In the future we need to provide better guidance for parents when they first set up the accounts and make sure they know not to support their children in completing the baseline assessment.Helen Romain, Deputy Head, Year 6 and Maths Lead: Great support given through regular emails. Children love the termly challenges, has greatly decreased teacher workload and children thoroughly enjoy using itKarl Luckhurst, Head of School and Head of Maths: A simple system yet effective - children are engaged with it and enjoy using it. Only a 9 as games could be more KS2 friendly...7Bob.bob, Parent: TERRIBLE! She has been stuck here, on 1 question for 3 hours trying every answer, we've watched the video, googled it, I don't know what to do! SO disappointed! My child has cried 10+ times because of this!Ccted, Parent: Don't often recommend apps etc but feel that the set up with the emails, parent portal, the bookwork checks and videos work well.Parent, Self employed: Really unhappy with this ap and hope the school will reconsider it, my son is really good at math and enjoys his lessons, since the introduction of this app my son dreads maths and the automatic homework he’s spending hours frustrated trying to get it correct and the videos are no help at all please bring back hegarty maths, this app denotivates students and my son has gone from enjoying maths to dreading it. This is not how it should be.
Children can download all Doodle programmes onto a mobile or tablet device from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Store, so no computers or laptops are necessary. These apps can be used offline, making them ideal for use in school or at home.
Browser versions of the programmes are also available to access from a laptop or desktop.
Teachers can use the Teacher Dashboard, an online hub that tracks pupil progress, on a laptop or desktop. DoodleLearning supports staff in generating pupil usernames, or schools can create these themselves.
Parents can also access the Parent Dashboard online from a laptop or desktop, and download the free DoodleConnect app from the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon Store.
Students will need an internet connection for homework. If you plan to use Sparx Maths in school, you will also need access to the internet and devices for each student.

The strategy webinar provides staff with an opportunity to meet their personal School Success Advisor and covers how to make the most out of Doodle, ideas for programme usage and how to reward and celebrate pupils’ achievements.
