ImpactEd Efficacy Report

September 2025

Built for your reality

Every classroom has 30 different levels. Now you can reach all of them.

"I can't personalise practice for every learner."

Sumdog adapts automatically to each pupil's level in real time, during the same activity. Lower-attaining pupils get appropriately challenging questions. Higher-attaining pupils stay stretched. No grouping. No extra planning.

"My SEN pupils disengage from maths entirely."

Sumdog's game-based practice creates a low-pressure environment where struggling learners willingly participate. Teachers report that pupils who previously refused maths work now ask to use Sumdog voluntarily.

"I need to evidence progress but I don't have time for reports."

Sumdog auto-marks everything. View class-level and pupil-level insights instantly. Spot gaps, track progress, and evidence impact for leadership and Ofsted without a single spreadsheet.

For SENCOs & inclusion leads

The strongest gains go to those who need them most.

The ImpactEd study found that Sumdog's impact was disproportionately positive for SEN and lower-attaining pupils. In Term 1, 71.8% of SEN pupils were working below expected standard. By Term 3, that dropped to 41.4% - and the proportion working at or above expected standard nearly doubled.

  • Adaptive difficulty means every pupil works at their own level without knowing it 

  • Game-based format reduces maths anxiety (statistically significant decrease for boys)

  • Pupils who are reluctant towards traditional maths work willingly engage with Sumdog

  • Teachers can step content back to earlier year groups for individual pupils

  • No stigma: the whole class plays the same game, but at different levels

"When we can put work in front of her with Sumdog to let her know that yes, she can succeed, her face lights up because she knows she can do it."
