Plumcroft Primary School, England

Used Whizz Education daily for 5+ years

Jan 2026

It works and 'does what it says on the tin'. It is embedded within the daily teaching structures in the school and we plan to expand into KS1 and EYFS soon.

Richard Slade found Whizz Education:
  • Reduces teacher workload
    The catch-up learning, based upon great diagnostic assessments, is system led and very accurate. This significantly reduces teacher workload whilst improving outcomes
  • Provides school data
    We get great school data that is timely and accurate. We can get pupil, class, year group and whole school data so we know where every child is now, where they started and where they're going.
  • Reduces attainment gap
    Plumcroft has just been recognised by the Secretary of State for Education in relation to reducing and actually eliminating the attainment gap for disadvantaged pupils compared to their peers. Our combined outcomes for Reading, Writing & Maths for Disadvantaged pupils has been about 30% ahead of National for the last few years. Maths-Whizz is a key component in this success.
  • Improves teaching efficiency
    As the learning is system led, it frees teachers to be far more efficient with their time and allows them to focus on the identified misconceptions in a very effective and time efficient way within their mainstream classes.
  • Improves parent engagement
    We have not yet fully implemented the parental engagement model that is recommended by Maths-Whizz but the evidence is compelling and so this is a high priority for us to deliver.
