- Staff can instantly set work in any area of the curriculum for use as a pre-teaching, consolidation, intervention or homework tool, reducing their workload (and saving queues for the printer!)
- Doodle automatically marks work and highlights each pupil’s learning gaps in an online hub, making it easy to offer additional support where needed
- It provides instantly exportable data including the % of EoY objectives covered, helping with teacher handovers, PPMs, report writing and lesson planning

We have been really happy with Doodle English and Spell. Pupils have enjoyed using it and teachers find it helpful for monitoring progress, identifying and addressing gaps. It is a lot more interactive than our previous spelling subscription and provides actual teaching and explanations rather than just rehearsal.
A Vibert found DoodleLearning:
- Builds student knowledge“Pupils recognise spelling patterns and rules. Doodle uses clear explanations and examples to support class teaching and is fully national curriculum aligned.”
- Reduces teacher workload“Provides immediate tracking of progress and makes it easy to identify gaps in pupil knowledge through the baseline. Quick to set assignments so perfect for homework and consolidation of lesson learning. Perfect for differentiation and meeting the needs of individuals as it creates individualised programmes based on the baseline assessments.”
- Improves attainment“When used regularly (including in school opportunities) Doodle reinforces learning and supports pupil knowledge.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Baseline reveals gaps in learning and Doodle builds a personalised programme based on this. Doodle assignments are convenient to support teaching, for pre or post teaching or for pupils who have been absent and missed learning. It is quick and easy to set relevant assignments for homework or in class.”
- Improves parent engagement“We have not seen significant parent engagement in using Doodle, but this will be a focus in the next year.”

I've found it immensely beneficial for improving the confidence of my lower ability learners. It's enabled them to explore, practise and develop their skills without judgement and consolidate their understanding so that when they come to school, they're able to progress in their learning quicker because Doodle has helped them reinforce the foundation of their Maths skills.
Hannah Cox found DoodleLearning:
- Builds student knowledge“It helps them to explore and practise concepts that we introduce in class together.”
- Reduces teacher workload“I can set lessons that are in line with my learning objectives to support and nurture pupil understanding.”
- Improves attainment“It helps develop pupil confidence by providing low stakes, high ceiling opportunities for my pupils. It enables less confident pupils to achieve, when they might not feel brave enough to push themselves in front of their peers in class tasks.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“The modelled examples and lesson structure enable more pupils to learn quicker than if I was working with them individually 1:1, whilst working my way around the room. They're able to ask for help using the help function and get an answer far quicker than putting up a hand.”
- Improves parent engagement“Our parents can track their progress and use the 'zones' and coloured spots to see how their son/daughter is finding each topic; offering targeted help at home in a particular topic if needed. They also LOVE the Winter/Spring and Summer challenges as a way of keeping skills fresh and supporting their children at home.”
