Recommended Usage
Pobble is aligned with all writing curriculum approaches. This means teachers can use Pobble every day or every few days in an equally effective manner.

We recommend Britannica School replaces general internet searches within your school. Through daily use and interaction, students will be better equipped to research independently and become more knowledgable about the subjects they are studying.

Most Helpful Reviews

Pobble

Sarah Bullivant, Assistant Headteacher: It’s a fantastic resource
Chelsea Hughes, English Coordinator: Pobble has been a constant in my teaching for around 4 years now. Without it, I lose the attainment of all children within the class to try their best in writing. They want their work to be celebrated, no matter how small the progress is. With the help of Pobble presentations, resources, high quality stimuli, moderation, WAGOLLs and more teachers are able to get the children there!
Kate Bodle, Deputy Headteacher: Pobble has many facets, inspiration for students and teachers, simplifying moderation, a safe publishing space and more! Plus events and competitions to engage learners! Great help and support too!

Britannica School

June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
Montserrat Palau, Librarian: It is an excellent resource, easy to use, connected anywhere, anytime. For our IB school, it is very complete in multilingual content, so it introduces students to the concept of multiple literacies, enriching their academic journey and multilingualism. In addition, it is very important to our school to promote academic honesty and integrity, so Britannica offers the citation of any information.
Matt, Primary Pastoral Lead / Year 1 teacher: a great resource in one place
