Pricing for Schools
With its proven ability to raise confidence and attainment across a whole school, it's no wonder that over 95% of schools continue their subscription with us after their first year.
For each student: a personalised work programme drawing from over 15,000 unique questions and hundreds of lesson explanations covering the national curriculum for EYFS, KS1, KS2 and KS3. DoodleMaths engages the whole of your ability range.
For teachers: full access to the Teacher Dashboard to see students' progress. For example, 'Gap Analysis' identifies pupils' strengths and weaknesses and assign more work in a particular area. You will see class-wide improvements in confidence, an increased ability to work independently, and, for some amongst the class, the opportunity to catch up.
Parents can download DoodleConnect, our accompanying app which gives instant updates and analysis of progress, making it easy for them to get involved in their children's maths.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's really important that children can keep their hard-earned DoodleStars, and that we can retain all their progress data that is so informative when developing their work programme. Fortunately, it's really easy to link their home user account to your school.
1. Ask parents to link their child's account to your school. This can be done through the Parent Dashboard (go to Edit Child) or the child's DoodleMaths app (go to Grown Ups > Settings).
2. You will then be able to find their account in 'Unverified Students' on the Teacher Dashboard and move them into the correct class. Don't worry - the parents will still be able to see their child's account too.
3. If you had already created a login for them, you can archive this. It is essential children do not have two accounts - they end up with a half-baked work programme on each account! If this is the case, select the one they've been working on most recently and that has the most stars earned and archive the other.

Absolutely. DoodleMaths is an intervention program that is designed to raise confidence and ability, regardless of a child’s starting point, and on this basis it is an excellent spend of Pupil Premium. As government guidance states, “It’s designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better”. It’s vital that those disadvantaged pupils get excellent access to DoodleMaths as part of your implementation, though. Please read our blog “destigmatising intervention” for more ideas about this.

If you are not switching to DoodleMaths from an existing subscription then its introduction may create a hole in your budget. Right now, it is becoming increasingly common for schools to ask for a parental contributions to help. This is particularly popular in schools where a number of students already have a home user subscription (which costs £5.99 per month), as parents see this as a significant saving. The parental contribution is sourced either directly, or via the PTA. If money remains in the Pupil Premium budget then this is also an effective use of funds. Where DoodleMaths plays an important role in breakfast and after-school clubs, their resourcing budget can help.
Finally, if a school can demonstrate hardship, then EZ Education (the parent company for DoodleMaths) can offer a ‘grant’ towards DoodleMaths, and will consider more flexible payment terms. Please talk to your account manager who will be happy to talk to you about this some more.

Like any resource, DoodleMaths is only as effective as its implementation in your school. In schools where it runs parallel to, or replaces, regular homework, a number of studies have demonstrated a significant impact, both from long term use, and also in the short term (such as the study by Bath University which showed that 20 minutes use weekly over the summer holidays was sufficient to prevent summer learning loss).

DoodleMaths is designed to be used primarily outside of the classroom for a few minutes daily - this is why it has been designed primarily as a touchscreen app, to work on any Apple, Android, Windows or Amazon tablet or phone as well as Learnpads.
There is a PC version of the app, too, which works on Windows 8 machines or later. Additionally, children can go to https://www.doodlemaths.com/students and complete their work through a web-browser.
In short, we’ve designed to make DoodleMaths as accessible as possible, bearing in mind that multiple studies show that at home, children have easier access to touchscreens than PCs or laptops.

A trial takes two weeks, and can be with a few students, a class, or even your whole school. You will work with an account manager who will help you get set up and guide you through the trial. Following your trial, if you wish, they will provide you with a short impact report, along with a quotation for your school.
It’s up to you if you take up a subscription for your school; if you don’t, we will remove your details from our system after one month, no questions asked.
