Local authorities and Sumdog
We work centrally with a number of local authorities across Scotland to help their schools improve fluency, increase engagement and boost progress.
Building community
Sumdog was founded in Scotland in 2010, and whilst we're now used by schools around the globe, Edinburgh's still our home base.
In 2016, we began working with Glasgow City Council, and since then, we've built central partnerships with 13 of Scotland's 34 local authorities.
We know that each local authority is different and every school has its own needs, so we work with your central team to find an offering that works for your community.
