Most Helpful Reviews

Sumdog Maths

Julie Miller, Head of Digital Learning: The product of Sumdog Maths is fantastic. I don't know any staff member or pupil who has a bad word to say about the online software. It is easily accessible from all devices. Staff and pupils love to compete alongside and against each other. They particularly enjoy competing in Council wide, Scottish and UK competitions where they can see progress and leaderboard development. The games used are age appropriate, self explanatory and easy to use. Above all this, the staff at Sumdog are fantastic and couldn't be more helpful! Offering training experiences, constant support via e-mail and phone, school visits to celebrate success - the list goes on. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Sumdog Team and witnessing our staff and learners enjoying the Sumdog experience.
Elliot, Reading Specialist: Sumdog is fun, research based, and student approved. The data you are able to acquire is extremely valuable.
Jane, teacher: easy to use, helpful to be able to set diagnostic tests and activities. Pupils are motivated.

DoodleLearning

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 it
Karl 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...7
