Pupil Equity Funding (PEF)
Almost every school in Scotland receives Pupil Equity Funding (PEF) to help improve outcomes for children and young people. While PEF is designed to support pupils from low-income households, many schools choose to invest part of this funding in Sumdog, giving teachers an engaging way to support maths learning in class and at home.
To explore how Sumdog can form part of your PEF strategy, take a look at our guide to PEF and Sumdog.
